While over 100,000 people were expected to show up at today’s ceremonies marking the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, late estimates put the crowd numbers at 20,000. Mike Levine of ABC News reported at 2:10 p.m. ET that unofficial crowd estimates from law enforcement sources put the number at “over 20,000.”

[Red Badger]

They should have given away more free stuff to get the numbers up.......

[Buckeye McFrog]

Free at last
Free at last

Thank God Almighty
My cell phone is Free at last!

[GraceG]

The missing 80,000 were found at dontfundit.com filling out the petition there...

[Venturer]

That means about 10,000.

People are getting a little tired of the BS.

[Red Badger]

You are soooooo baaaad!.............

[Izzy Dunne]

The “I Have a Scheme” speech isn’t pulling them in?

[DoughtyOne]

These numbers always seem to favor the Left too. Our marches are vastly undercounted, and theirs always seem to be inflated.

There’s a good chance there were only 5,000 there.

[Red Badger]

Quite a difference from 1963 when 100,000 were expected and 250,000 showed up!................

[ilgipper]

The sad thing is that doesn’t even matter. All of media covered it as a watershed moment, and that ‘we have so much more to do’. Just like we saw less than 10 people to show up and Sandra Fluke campaign events last year, but the media was able to mention these events as a huge outcry about the threats to women by the right.

Our side better figure out how to counter this current method because we are losing ground rapidly. We went from having a clear majority on our side from 2009-2010 to completely throwing it all away. Tactics need to change to counter the left’s tactics.

[MestaMachine]

Oh. Was there a rally or something in dc? Wow. I totally missed it.

[Nevadan]

I didn't watch it but saw some of the photos. I shouldn't have been, but I was surprised at all the white koolaide drinkers in attendance cheering on the racist pronouncements of Al Sharpton et al.

[Uncle Miltie]

What does this picture of yesterday's small gathering tell you?

[ScottinVA]

Only 20,000 in attendance, but they left the trash of millions.

[Uncle Miltie]

What a crowd!

[nascarnation]

Anybody know the Vegas over/under for the Million Muslim March?

I’m thinking 15,000

[max americana]

That the local mental asylum has escaped patients?

[Cowboy Bob]

A reported 250,000. I’ll take that number with a grain of salt.

[American Constitutionalist]

In the way the leftist have treated race relations in the last 50 years I don’t give a rats a$S about it.

[Uncle Miltie]

Discounted seats near the front are still available!

[ScottinVA]

Ahhh... the SEIU rent-a-crowd.

[mountainlion]

20,000 attend million man march.

[svcw]

That many?

[Kickass Conservative]

Considering the Black Unemployment Rate under Obama, I would have expected 10 Million to show up.

[Uncle Miltie]

"Come on, everybody, don't be afraid! Move on up front and center! There's plenty of room! 0bama's coming out in 20, no make that 120 minutes!"

[lurk]

Smaller crowd than a TX high school football game.

Nobody is expecting a historic speech today.

[Josa]

Still waiting for the aerial view of the gathering.....curiously absent

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Not to worry. Obama’s PR team (the MSM) will be reporting it at a million.

[nascarnation]

Looks like the buses traveled to DC, and then spread out all over for todays “fast food strike”.

Here in Indy the local news even showed the SEIU troops getting off the buses in the predawn hours and demonstrating in front of a downtown McDonalds.

[CrappieLuck]

There is about 300K blacks that live in D.C.

If 90% of them can’t even make it to a rally in their own city why should the rest of the country even care.

That is pathetic.

“Down with the struggle” - maybe, but a 10 minute bus ride (Even sitting in the front) is just too much to axe.

[blackdog]

I hear the EBT computer network for the DC metro area crashed due to such high traffic yesterday.

[Kickass Conservative]

It tells me I should have cornered the SEIU T Shirt Concession.

[Uncle Miltie]

Funny, they don't look alike.

[11th_VA]

Top= MLK Rally, Bottom= Beck Rally:

[blackdog]

And I love the fact that the event guests invited to speak had to stand behind bulletproof lexan around the podium.

Nice home crowd huh?

[nascarnation]

I hear the EBT computer network for the DC metro area crashed due to such high traffic yesterday.

I doubt it, what's another 20k on top of the half million or so already on the dole in DC, MD, and VA.

[Uncle Miltie]

Kim say:

"Rearry funny, opposing 0bama's War For Ar Qaeda! Maybe sirry brack rady wanna come see Dear Reader's grave?"

[Uncle Miltie]

In "The One" We Trust.

It's so much easier than counting 57 stars.

[Stand Watch Listen]

Where's the 'freee' stuff???

[11th_VA]

At least the waiter’s in DC will can start getting tips again, starting today ...

[Uncle Miltie]

Real Pimps for Race Pimps!

[Uncle Miltie]

Didn't know MLK was "Father of the Twerk!"

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Of the few long crowd shots that CSPAN showed, I could see about 15 to 20 thousand at the pinnacle of that charlie foxtrot. Any more would be a stretch. Most of the day looked like about 2 to 3 thousand tops for the less important speakers. Definitely not even close to the numbers they wanted. But I’m sure they left enough trash to make up for the low attendance numbers.

[blackdog]

Lovely hats on da ladies yesterday! Where does one even go to obtain such fashion?

[Uncle Miltie]

"And then I was all like, can you hold my purse, and this creepy ass cracka in the khakis said 'No, but I'll hold your umbrella!' Can you just imagine the racism?"

[GizzyGirl]

I wanted to be at Glenn Beck rally, couldn’t work it out. These pictures are excellent, I wonder what the MSM said in terms of numbers for the events, how they compare. I will try to find later tonight if I can, and thanks for the visuals, really great!

[Slyfox]

Little did he know that when he died his party affiliation would be changed to democrat.

[Cyber Liberty]

Ummm...the participants were paid to be there?

[Starboard]

Our marches are vastly undercounted
******
Make no mistake about it, our marches and especially the numbers on the 9/12 march in DC, struck fear in hearts of libs. To this day they are deeply afraid of the Tea Party.

The “visuals” of nearly one million people in DC made quite a statement. Too bad we haven’t done this again.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree, but actually we should get 20 million there. We’re talking some serious issues.
