Don't believe dismissive reports from MSN--the 9/12 D.C. protest was easily 100's of thousands

Here are links, the first of which has an aerial crowd shot, clearly showing hundreds of thousands spread as far as you can see:

Here, also, from vermonttiger:

#1. America was here. Young families, geriatrics, vets, doctors and their patients (more cancer victims than I care to report), Harley riders, nerds, and from nearly every state.
#2). The themes were consistent; back off, stay out, you work for us and we're pissed. Payback is on our minds.
#3). This ain't goin' away. This is fundamental, religious, in the living room and agitated. It may even be an emotional proxy for the boomer silent majority and the 40 somethings that feel liked they have towed the line since college and are tired of being taken for granted .... We'll see.
#4). The beast has tasted blood and he likes it. One rally makes not a movement but if it did all politicians, not just the President, would be in deep &&@. They may be anyway. When the breadth and depth of this crowd takes their cohesive and unambiguous mini victory home it will remind the Sleeping Giant it has the power, it IS America and they do not have to forego their polite, civil ways when they protect their country from those who have lost sight of what the majority values.
