That’s very clever, my Wingnut friend, but we all know, there were tens of hundreds of people there and the pictures that show more were photoshopped.

Beck is giving the true count on Monday.
Michigan Stadium attendance = 110,000
350,000 to 400,000 rally total.
It would depend on density as well. Are people standing shoulder to shoulder solid?
Great work!!
I’d say easily 200K.
Please do not over look the fact that thousands of folks are obstructed from view by the trees ,, many , many people found comfort under the shade of those trees .
Having been to the 4th of July 5 times, at The Mall, I can tell you the crowds are up to 500,000.
In this case, there are more likely about 250,000. I heard or read that earlier but I cannot give you the source.
If I can find the posts from last years Tea Party, it should give you an idea of what’s possible.
About 500K.
Not a good comparison, at all.
People are sitting literally inches away from each other in a stadium and they are vertically stacked where the person behind them is maybe 6 inches away.
The most accurate way to take a measurement is to do it by grid. A high quality aerial photo of a 100’x100’ area, take a head count and extrapolate to the entire area used with a +/- used to deal with the less populated areas of the sample.
So accepting the overlay and eyeballing it there seems to be at least 300k just around the Reflecting Pool. Add another 100k for the National Mall and still more for the Constitution gardens and it's easy to come up with at least 500k.
I am still standing by my (average) of 9 sq ft per person standing in a loose crowd, 6 sq ft TIGHTLY packed. I'd have to estimate the square foot size of the several areas and add them together to come up with a different figure.
I'd do that but I'm fighting a SEVERE cold and a few other health problems right at the moment and just don't feel up to it.
At this point I could easily accept 500k (or more) even though I think my estimates would be a tad smaller.
Bottom line is it doesn't really make much difference, it was a fantastic turnout!
Remember when Obama gave his speech at the Democrat Convention when President Bush ran for the second time? I made a statement at that time, Republicans best watch this guy, he’ll run for President one of these days.
After the rally, I felt the same way about Glenn Beck. It wouldn’t surprise me if Glenn ran, and it wouldn’t bother me a bit. He has made statements in the past about George Washington not wanting to be President but the people did. I think the same will happen here and Glenn won’t be able to refuse his country. I may be dead wrong, but we could do a hell of a lot worse. If he were to run against Hillary, he would win.........hands down.
That IS pretty cool
But shouldn’t you have used The Horseshoe instead?
jk jk jk
MSM will tell us that 1,200 showed.
Of which 80% were KKK.
I can tell you that there are a lot people under those trees on the right. We were there today and it was packed.
Still uploading pictures to post.
I think 500,000 +.
A very clever approach to a very difficult problem; my only question: how did you make sure that both aerial views are at the same scale?
They certainly look like they’re at least *close* to the same scale, but if the magnification on one is off by, say, 50% on one compared to the other, the crowd estimates will be off by *at least* that amount.
Buckeye Nation will not be amused at this. ;>
Argghhh - I’m an idiot - just found the scales at the lower left corners!
I don’t think I’ll get any sleep until the exact number is determined.
What did Journolist estimate?
Pray for America
I want to know how many people are in support of restoring America’s Honor? Would you say for each person who could go, there were 15 who couldn’t go?
