"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:
