    And yet we have another strawman. I don't give a flip if there were 3 or 3-million. I just want what is accurate.

    Really you should look up the definition of strawman. :rolleyes: I doubt seriously you missed the point.

    I know what a strawman is. You are good at constructing them. You make up your own supposed argument of your debate opponent and attack that...classic strawman fallacy. As well as answering a question with a question rather than actually providing an answer.

    Non of this comes into play here. You were being hypocriticle with your criticism of one while ignoring the same behavior of the other meaning the liberal. I asked a question to make a point in which you have worked hard to avoid and you did that knowingly.

    Breaking News!

    CNN / MSNBC

    WASHINGTON- Today it was discovered by CNN and MSNBC that the crowd numbers reported for the "tea-baggers" rally on 9/12 in Washington D.C. this past weekend were exagerrated by the Republican Party. The actual number of protesters who marched was only five people. Although film footage of the event appeared to show hundreds of thousands of protesters present, this footage was discovered to be a photograph that was "looped' showing the same five protesters over and over again.

    Nancy Pelosi has called for immediate Senate hearings to discover and prosecute "those lying monsters" in the Republican party who made the film footage.

    Here is a photograph showing all the protesters present.

    ummm...the term "teab*ggers" is a vulger term used to denote sex*al activity and should not be used on this board.

    Only if you are into that culture.
    Then again, this pic is oversized.

    I am not invested in the 2 million number but what I see to dispute it is ABC - ABC - ABC.

    Of course the best we are going to get is an estimate. No one was there tagging people with electronic chips or anything like that.

    I should grow up? Who is it going on page after page saying we should not lie about the crowd numbers? You.

    Give it a rest yourself. Whether you like it or not, there was a huge crowd present and they came from all across the country. This was not staged like some ACORN rally.

    You just don't get it, not everybody is in love with Obama and his policies like you.

    See, you prove my point. I said it was a big crowd, but why does it have to be lied about? Why do you care if it was less than 2-Mil? And if you think it wasn't loaded with paid aggitators, you fool yourself.

    I am not, but huge pics are against the rules for a reason. They make the pages load very slow on dial up.

    How did I prove your point (that you keep going on and on and on about)?

    Look, I have been around a while. I even worked for a political campaign years ago, I know all about the lies and exaggerations. It is just a big game, I have known that for a long time. Crowd numbers are an estimate. Nobody will ever know how many people were there. I looked at footage of the event, I am no expert on crowd estimates, but it looked like several hundred thousand people to me. But guess what? I don't really care what the exact number was. It is you that keeps going on and on.

    I posted that fake news headline to make fun of you. You keep insisting there were not 2 million people there. I said there were five. You should be happy.

    Beck should have hired ACORN to count the crowd and drum up some extra bodies. LOL. Still looking for an accurate count of the crowd and still can't find one.

    Bull...and you know it.

    Heck...BRITISH PAPERS are using "million plus" figures in their reporting.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/wor...-Obamas-spending-tea-party-demonstration.html

    Of course, you've never been one to worry about truthfulness when it came to slamming conservatives.

    I would wait for a retraction...but why wish for something that will never happen?
