C-SPAN filmed the event. There were definitely more than >"thousands" or "tens of thousands" there. The main stream >media is LYING.

Freedomworks (the organizer) is going to update their estimate of the Washington rally today:

Politifacts had this:

"To bolster countless claims on blogs and Facebook, many posted a photograph that showed a gargantuan crowd sprawling from Capitol Hill down the National Mall to the Washington Monument.

But it turns out the photo is more than 10 years old, apparently taken during a 1997 Promise Keepers rally."

Yep; here ya go; same photo:

Makes it hard to believe anything you read or see on the internet.
