I trust the police and parks dept estimates at 1.2 to 1.5 million. Again, liberals and the polarized mainstream media want all this to go away and will trivialize the event or just ignore it. Organizing demonstrations on Washington has always been a core signature of the left. Now we have middle class white and black Americans gathering en masse and liberals are gnashing their teeth. In their efforts to demonize and marginalize the protesters, they will sling labels like racists, rednecks, idiots etc (a la that other moron Garofalo). However, this is just indicative of their frustration and unbridled rage over the middle class FINALLY saying "Enough". And the left can't stop or this closet socialist in the White House run away from it.

Most of the tea partiers (such as my family and cousins from 10 hours away) rented buses for the day and never spent a night in a hotel. The government didn't deploy the national guard for two reasons: 1. they didn't believe this many people would really show up. 2. this crowd of people is a completely different type than the hippee disrespectful type of people at the inauguration who were likely to get into brawls and leave garbage all over the place (it took days to clean up after all the lazy good for nothings left) Let’s remember that the hotel bookings and such were much higher for the inauguration than the tea party because the tea party people didn’t get free tickets and have their way paid by celebrities and politicians.
