“If I WERE A LIAR”, which I am not .. I could probably have SEEN 2 million people from where I live!

Calm down, friend. I never called you a "liar", even if I did disagree with your estimate. Yours is the lowest crowd estimate that I've ever seen from any witness of the 9/12 DC march.

Lest you've forgotten, threads about the crowd size went on here (and all over the net) for weeks after the march. It became something of a raging controversy, with the leftstream media trying to give the impression that it wasn't all that large of a gathering, while actual participants on our side testified that that it was easily the largest public gathering in DC history.

Some people even used aerial photographs and mathematical models to estimate the true size of the crowd. In the end, it was proven by several researchers that the crowd was very likely 2 million strong.

You're entitled to your opinion, but it's at odds with most other observers'.

The march did not occupy the entire mall as there was another event on the back half which led to some confusion on the crowd size. 2 million was a overestimate put out days before by the left to make 600k look like a failure. But just as 2 million was an overestimate, 100,000 is an underestimate. (Heck, even MSNBC said "hundreds of thousands")

Using this generic crowd estimate map by USA Today you can see the front area alone (which was filled) equals 240,000. Most of the detailed analysis put the count at around 600,000 but sadly some (Like BOR) used a much lower count from a fire source.
