You guys need to see Riehlworldview’s post on the crowd size. He has an analysis of the varying reports of crowd sizes compared to Obama inauguration, LBJ Inauguration (thought to be the largest by some), and the 9/12 protest. He has an amazing overlay gif of LBJ’s crowd and the 9/12 crowd.

I don’t want the dems to pass any kind of health care reform. I don’t trust them not to sneak something in that would open the way to the public option. After all, who would have thought the Endangered Species Act would cause so many problems? Who would have thought the commerce clause would give so much power to the feds and take away so muchpower from the states? Congress and the federal government has encroached on the rights of states from decades now and it much be stopped.

Ok, scratch that image from Dan Riehl’s site. That image is from the Promise Keeper event. Charlie Martin said that a lot of people were on the sides, capital grounds and Pennsylvania Avenue so that would be difficult to count.

Thanks, AJ! Even if they yank out the public option, Obamacare is still bad.

Here is http://www.riehlworldview.com/carnivorous_conservative/2009/09/912-attendance-metrics-1-million-plus.html – I don’t know where Dan got this photo.

And compare this to http://www.popsci.com/content/inauguration-day – aerial photo of Obama’s inauguration.

And the 1995 Million Man March: http://photo2.si.edu/mmm/mmm.html

Thanks, AJ. Good to know. Still I wish that they would pass health care insurance reform. Problem is that even without the public option, their health care insurance reform is still bad.

I don’t know where Dan Riehl got this image but he claims that this is the 9/12 image.

Lurker,

It will shatter the democrat support. The far left want to go full ahead, damn the consequences. But the centrists see the danger signs. If they are to survive the backlash they will need to claim they stopped the liberal madness dead in its tracks.

Right now it is better to oppose Obama and Obamacare, if the 2010 election is your concern. Right now there are rumors the public option is dead.

Snowe said so, Collins said so, the NY Times said so.

That is the result of this outstanding show of opposition.

[blockquote]lurker,

I would wager the Tea Party easily crammed 4 times as many people into and around the ticketed area. The crowds went way outside the inauguration areas, and people were on top of walls, on top of statues, places they would never be on inauguration. But there were people back in the other areas as well.[/blockquote]

Unbelievable.

Now the question is…how will this impact the direction of health care reform?

Nil? Or..if so, how much? And what kind of an impact?

Seeing that Obama will be on 60 minutes with the “conservatives’ coarsening of the health care debate”, I doubt that Obama got the message. Obama seems to think that we’re spreading lots of misinformation about Obamacare that he had not even bothered to read at all.

WWS,

Yeah, I hate to see someone so beaten down they turn on their so called allies.

But remember, it took his allies beating to push him to this, If not for their stupidity LGF would still be a conservative site.

Think about that and let it settle in. It would be like someone pissed off the Brits or Canadians so bad they decided to join al Qaeda. We don’t agree with everything they do, but if we said our way or Eff You they would go with Eff You.

Zealots can over do it like that. Just like the liberals are chasing out the Blue Dogs.

The days of the fringes is over.

If you want a good measure of just how far around the bend Charles at LGF has gone, his blog today is filled with nothing but posts about how everyone at the gathering in D.C. was either a racist or a Ron Paul supporter, or probably both.

LGF is now indistinguisahable from Daily Kos or DU.

Looking at the aerial shots, it’s hard to believe there weren’t at least 1 million there.
