LIVE Webcam Link to Washington DC --- WHERE ARE THE PROTESTORS?

http://www.trafficland.com/city/WAS/camera/9087/index.html

Where are the protestors that CNN is numbering in the thousands?

No where to be found.

Gosh.. I so believe the media on this, they said there were thousands! The media never lies... right?

:eyes:

Do you really want more pics posted? :/ Just IGNORE it.

when Chimpenfurher was pissing on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights?

Oh, that's right. They were praying for him. :eyes:

That was the republicon thang. Rather than tax and spend -- which is at least out front, Republicons flushed America's economy into the crapper with virtually occult borrow-and-spend policies. Thereby passing the debt on to our children and grandchildren.

that says - "Vote Them Out of Office - Daniel Hannan for President"

Daniel Hannan is BRITISH and was born in Peru. ???? They like him because he criticized NHS when interviewed on Fox.

These people are idiots! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Hannan

I'm nowhere near DC...

Are you sure they were supposed to march in Washington, DC.

Maybe they've all gone to Washington state.

We have enough problems without them taking the wrong turn at Alberquerque!


(with apologies to Bugs and spelling...):) :hi:

There are plenty of reports of thousands of protestors, but the cameras don't catch even a hint of protestors. What's going on??

shows a few walking over to the reflecting pool area. Not a massive number by any means.

Some guy carrying a flag. Now people with signs.

I think they're congregating around the reflecting pool, couldn't find any cameras for the area.

Listening to the live feed from CNN it doesn't sound that big, the camera is on the ground so I don't get any real idea of the true size of the crowd.

They are definitely there.

1.2 million to 1.5 million

what in the world?

bang bang bang bang


shots fired

I was there for 1.2 million (Barack's inauguration). That isn't even close to a normal anti war protest, which went on for blocks and blocks and actually DREW 100-350 thousand.

You made that up out of whole cloth.

Welcome to DU. :hi:

Probably what, 5 or 6 deep around the reflecting pool?

I was there in 2004, when 1.2 million marched. No comparison. It was jammed.

So much for the million moron march!

:rofl:

the only thing i could find on ABCnews.com is "tens of thousands"

the said there were 450 buses- so at 50 per bus most would be 25,000 plus drivers- i'd say 60,000 sound a bit high.

...FR links to this pic:


...But when I look at it now (1) it's empty, and (2) the flag is back up from half-staff? :shrug:

:wtf:

Why should the flag be at half mast?

There is no way the flag would have changed. Someone is full of shit!!!

The flag would not have been at half mast then suddenly up, or vice versa, nor would the light and clouds change that dramatically in one day (notice the color of the buildings have changed.) WHo is saying that the first pic is from today? Cuz it's probably not.. it's probably from another march.

The trees and bushes are all identical. The streaky clouds are the same. I don't know about that flag, but there's nothing else to suggest the first photo wasn't taken earlier today.

On the other hand, I don't see anything to indicate that the crowd extends more than three blocks away from the camera. The image gets a lot fuzzier past that point, but it also seems less colorful, suggesting we're seeing empty street beyond that tower and not people.

Presuming they've picked a shot from when the tail end of the march was just passing the camera, the figure being tossed around of 20,000-30,000 seems plausible for what appears in that picture.


On edit: The difference in the color of the buildings looks to me more like a screen cap off a different monitor. If it weren't for the bushes, I'd also wonder if it was from an earlier march -- but there haven't been any other marches recently. I think the pic is real, but cherry-picked.

:puke:

Excellent question. I made this video from traffic cam footage 9/24/05. When Cindy Sheehan and the Camp Casey Iraq War Protesters arrived in DC. I think mine is among the rare footage of the event. Ironic that Big Brother accidentally recorded a million protesters who descended on Wash DC that day, all ignored by the MSM. Many DUers are in this crowd!

"Where are the Liberals"? (Yes, that includes me.)

throw in a few Palin supporters, a few Glenn Beck groupies hoping that he'll see them on tv and invite him back to his place for some republican sex (kinky as hell, lots of guilt, public apology when caught.) Throw in some crazy-ass anti-abortion types, a few NRA wackos, and some KKK in street clothes for good measure.

I guess they had to go home and get ready for the KKK masturbation fest they have planed for tonight.

Someone must have spread the word that Cheetos are on sale today at Wally World. :eyes:
