A high-spirited crowd numbering, by some estimates, more than 200,000 swamped the National Mall on Saturday, overwhelming the city's public transportation system as people flocked to what organizers billed as a "comedic call for calm." (snip) The turnout was estimated by organizers at more than 250,000, but the figure was not confirmed by local or federal authorities, who do not estimate crowd sizes. An aerial estimate by CBS News estimated 215,000 attended, plus or minus 10%. In a similar estimate for a rally by conservative commentator Glenn Beck in August, CBS estimated the crowd at between 78,000 and 96,000.

200,000 lunatics vs 700,000 patriotic Americans sounds about right ,,, 28% of Americans are hardcore commies ,, I see it in the polls all the time .

That picture is fake. The aerial photos don’t show the crowd going all the way to the Washington Monument. Notice how clear the crowd is up to a point and then a PERFECT straight line with photoshopped blurred crowds crudely painted in.
