Hmmm - must be Million Moron Math students as this number is up quite a bit from their articles last week claiming 10,000!
Did you notice all those people wearing "Free Palestine" bumper stickers that also had an American Flag on them? So - what?- aren't there any other countries in the world besides us? Anyway, a free and independent "Palestine" is exactly what US and Israeli policy wants. Trouble is that Arafat's terrorist PLO will never let it happen - they need the "palestinians" to remain in refugee status so as to be used as pawns to further their hatred towards democracy and judeism. Too bad these people can't understand this.
I kept trying to let some of these people (just the quiet ones without large signs) over to our side to listen to our most excellent speakers, but the Metro police wouldn't have any of that. They were making their own judgement calls which kind of pissed me off. These people really need to be exposed to truth, justice, and American FReeper ideals. Oh well, maybe someday.
From what the IACenter says, they had 100,000. I am no master judge of crowds, but I was there and would say 30,000 to be very generous.
