I agree the conservatives, the event really needed more media coverage.

9-12 DC Tea Bag Protest, Debunking Moilanen and Creating an Estimate – Update #3
There’s a new document floating around the internet entitled “The Real Number of Protesters at the 9/12 Washington D.C. March” by a Zac Moilanen of Indiana University. It, falsely, attempts to calculate and show the number of protesters at the recent 9-12 march and rally that occurred in DC. I’m told it was recently referenced by FOX News’ Glenn Beck. In all honesty, the rally was little different from the ones that occurred this past summer across the US. Apparently the only outcome from this event has been debate about the amount of protesters who participated. The participants and advocates for them immediately claimed an amazing 2 million participated while the DC Fire Department estimated 60,000 to 70,000. The right wing “blogosphere” has even posted picture of other large DC rallies as evidence of the larger number. I attempt to address that issue, and the Moilanen document, here.
