I have flown around the top of McKinley in a twin engine plane... you most certainly can NOT see Russia from there. Just so you know, it has to be at least 4-500 miles to the west coast of AK from where McKinley is. Russia has to be another 75 miles or so from there. No way is anyone's eyesight that good.

I never said you could see it from there, I was asking if he knew anything about Alaska..but carry on..
"and for seeing Russia from there, until you go there and find out different I'll take your criticism on it as total bullshit.."
I was responding to the above quote from you.
Which shows us what?
1) that the pictures were not shot from the same location
2) That it appears to be the opposite sides of the capital
3) that the million man march was more heavily attended (it has the deeper shot and the street is more crowded)
From what I have seen I would say this protest topped out around 100k at most (the estimate of 75k is probably pretty accurate)
While it certainly isn't a million as suggested, it is substantially larger than any in the past (of its kind). The fact that it is growing lends to Damo's earlier point... this is growing, not diminishing. People are finally getting fed up with the idiots in DC.
Here is something interesting.
The foreign press estimates are a bit higher than the US press estimates...

A million march to US Capitol to protest against 'Obama the socialist'
By David Gardner
Last updated at 6:59 AM on 14th September 2009
As many as one million people flooded into Washington for a massive rally organised by conservatives claiming that President Obama is driving America towards socialism.
The size of the crowd - by far the biggest protest since the president took office in January - shocked the White House.
Demonstrators massed outside Capitol Hill after marching down Pennsylvania Avenue waving placards and chanting 'Enough, enough'.
The focus of much of the anger was the president's so-called 'Obamacare' plan to overhaul the U.S. health system.
Demonstrators waved U.S. flags and held signs reading 'Go Green Recycle Congress' and 'I'm Not Your ATM'.'
The protest on Saturday came as Mr Obama took his campaign for health reforms on the road, making his argument to a rally of 15,000 supporters in Minneapolis.
Saying he was determined to push through a bill making health insurance more affordable, Mr Obama said: 'I intend to be president for a while and once this bill passes, I own it.

Drudge does not even seem to have anything about this on his board. One has to wonder why?

Perhaps you keep going to drudge.com vs. drudgereport.com. The former is a liberal hoax site.Drudge does not even seem to have anything about this on his board. One has to wonder why?
so what are you saying.....that she isn't a single mom?.....that she isn't from Iowa?......that she didn't support individual retirement accounts?.....make yourself clear.....From your second link Taichi:
In December 2004, FreedomWorks employee Sandra Jacques was introduced at a White House economic conference as a "single mom" from Iowa who supported the Bush administration's Social Security privatization plan. According to White House budget director, Jacques was was an example of how Bush promotes his agenda with testimonials from "regular folks." As the New York Times pointed out, however, "Ms. Jaques is not any random single mother. She is the Iowa state director of a conservative advocacy group." [5]
The Times also noted that Jacques "spent much of the past two years as a spokeswoman in Iowa for a group called For Our Grandchildren, which is mounting a nationwide campaign for private savings accounts."

That's hilarious. Notice anything missing from the body of the story? Like a source for the 1 million figure? Keep up the good word, Damo.
I'm guessing the folks at the Daily Mail and their rigorous fact-checkers used Palin rules. It looked like a million from London.
