Traveling in great numbers from far distances, they outnumbered ANSWER three to one--but a fawning mainstream media failed to report the facts, as usual taking the side of ANSWER.

Three to one? Wow! That gets bigger every time I read the story.

The numbers aren't important unless they're put in context. ANSWER claimed they'd have tens of thousands there, at best they had 5-8,000.

Gathering of Eagles had hoped to attract a thousand or so, and the actual turnout was a surprise to all of us. There have been various estimates for GOE, ranging from 15,000 to 50,000. It's hard to pin down, because we were located in many different areas around the memorials,Constitution Ave.,and the main speaker stage,etc.

I will say this...I was there, and outside the Lincoln Memorial, it was at least even and I thought we had more.

However, they had all of their people at one location, and the Gathering of Eagles had their people at multiple locations. I know they were definitely outnumbered, positively as much as two to one from what I personally saw, and taking into account what I didn't see, three to one is likely.
