The Gray Lady of Operation Mockingbird, the New York Times, reports today that "thousands" of patriots protested against Obamacare, cap and trade, the bankster bailout, and unchecked federal government power in the District of Criminals yesterday.
"The demonstrators numbered well into the tens of thousands, though the police declined to estimate the size of the crowd," the newspaper reports, attempting to downplay the historical significance of the protest.
The New York Times says the police declined to estimate the crowd -- or rather the corporate media declined to report it -- because the number was around two million, the largest protest in the capitol's history.
The protest out-numbered Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. That march was estimated at around 200,000 people.
ABC News did likewise, pegging the turnout in the thousands. "Thousands of conservative protesters from across the country converged on the Capitol Saturday morning to demonstrate against President Obama's proposals for health care reform and voicing opposition to big government, what they say is over-the-top spending," the corporate propaganda outlet claimed on Saturday.
Ditto the War Street Journal -- excuse me, the Wall Street Journal -- although they put the number at tens of thousands. The Journal admitted the obvious: "While some Republican officeholders were at the rally, not everybody there called themselves Republicans."
Fox News tried to spin the event as a Glenn Beck phenomenon.
NPR, the news service of Soros and the foundations, did the same parlor trick with the math, putting the number at tens of thousands. NPR contradicted itself, however, and reported that as "the demonstrators walked along Pennsylvania Avenue toward the U.S. Capitol, the line stretched as far as the eye could see in either direction. The crowd was so thick in places that it was difficult to move."
As to be expected, the "progressives" (left cover bankster faction) attempted to portray two million patriotic Americans as racists. Think Soros, formerly known as Think Progress, posted a blog entry supposedly revealing racist placards at the event -- in fact, none of the signs showed were racist -- the worst the Soros operatives produced was a photo of a woman with a Confederate flag. The Soros clan said everybody at the event was white (as if they had examined the skin color of two million people).
It's not going to work. The two million people who showed up to voice their outrage at a federal government out of control and in violation of the Constitution was but a small sampling of the millions of people across the country in opposition to Obama and the corporate-fascist agenda of his one-world masters.
If Obama and the Democrats ram the deathcare bill through the House by way of "reconciliation," the opposition will redouble its numbers and once again take to the streets.

Thousands? This timelapse video puts an end to the corporate media lies and spin.
Would be interesting if environmentalists succeeded in shutting down the capitol's coal fired power plant: http://www.capitolclimateaction.com
Then Pelosi would have to rely on wind power or solar, and at night when the wind doesn't blow... the lights will go out...
I wonder what the environmental impact of the protestors in DC compared to the free lunch loving ones here in MN last weekend...
FroZone, there's a comparison thread going around somewhere (I really visit wa-a-a-y too many blogs) that shows the aftermath of this 1.7 million conservatives versus the wreckage after the Obamites left the Mall. The park folks didn't even have to sweep the streets after this march. After the previous one they took days and truckloads to clear off the mess. QED.
Nice post. My friend John told me about this blog a few weeks ago but this is the first time I'm visting. I will undoubtedly be back.
