    It doesn't matter. Any number between 1 and 2,000,000 would be included in the up to 2,000,0000 claim.

    You were all about the "technically true" defense for Obama - now be consistent and allow it in this case also.

    The crowd size was up to 2,000,0000.

    Take it up with the DC Police. There wre there, they gave the number.

    I thought calling some a liar was a violation of BB rules ... especially with absolutely no backup.

    And the DC police have revised their estimate to 1.2 million.

    You should try the word "please".

    And, please, you should not be so quick to call someone a liar who has cited a source .... and you either forgot or cannot cite a source for your information.

    Where have I ever called anyone a liar?

    Where have I ever said that anything posted by a board member was a lie?

    That is a direct false accusation against me.

    Please, either back up your false allegation or apologize.

    No problem.

    Sure thing. But first for demonstration purposes, why don't you go ahead and provide the link for your DC police estimate and then we can compare it for qualitative and authoritative value against my link.

    You can probably see where I am going with this.

    Your perspective on everything is so wrapped up in the Obama, liberal, Socialist agenda, you cannot even express a coherent thought anymore.

    I did not call you a liar. I said that on this particular issue, you have lied.

    How can this be. In the first sentence you say I did not lie. In the second you say I lied. Me thinks you are confused.

    Provide some evidence other than your opinion.

    Also isn't it a violation of BB rules to call someone a liar, especially with no proof, no backup.

    I have not checked all my replies on this thread, but on the figures I have give links, not just opinions.

    Please do the same.

    also...the police do not make estimates. When they estimated the "million man march" years ago, and their figures differed from the organizers' numbers...the MMM folks threatened to sue. Thus, they don't do estimates now.

    EDIT: Congrats to RM for getting the jump on my scoop!!

    Wow. You need help.

    I did not call you a liar. I said that on this subject, you lied.

    Read it slower...maybe that will help.

    Here you say you did not call me a lair.

    Here you say I lied on this subject, but have not shown how, where or why.
    To say I lied is to call me a liar.

    Again, is this not a BB violation?

    What kind of reaction is it that you expect when giving ridiculous numbers to support a liberal/socialist agenda?

    Don't worry about crabby since libbies have not been effective in getting threads shut down they have turned to making themselves victims in order to demonize those they debate with. It is a debate tactic rather than honest conversation.

    I thought it was a violation of the rules too but when I complained the moderator ignored me. If you're a radical conservative you can get away with almost anything here.
