Apparantly some righties have been undercounting the amount of people who participated, for obvious reasons. They cited a picture that had the right edge cut off…here’s the real one. Notice the red arrow on the right:

Hedging eh Chris. Not 100,000 people .
How can you be sure it wasn’t 100K?
Rush Limbaugh said there were only 30 people there. Seems to me like the right-wing is going to claim there weren’t that many people protesting regardless of the facts. The photo that I posted is the same one posted by Michelle Malkin and others…only when they posted their copies, they cut off that right edge showing a line of people stretching down several city blocks.
Is that a right wing conspiracy Chris?
Hearing Bill O’Rieley and Rush Limbaugh peddle the ridiculous notion that the Vietnam War protestors were the reason we lost…the playbook is very predictable at this point.
There’s no conspiracy involved when the DC chief of police says that there were over 100K.
And I think Chris is right… I can already see the conservatives blaming any Middle-East failures on the weak progressives.
There is no question that protests at home weakened the US war effort in Viet Nam. I personally knew Americans who wanted us to lose that war and Ho Chi Minh and General Giap realized early on the effect of protests in the USA.
