Don't feel bad Maggie. There are alot of people that post on these threads that don't seem to "get it" or understand anything.

wsushox1, don't bother trying to have any sort of discussion on here unless you agree with all of the righties, because they will just bash you and trash talk you. If you're not with them you're wrong and must be crazy.

Nice to see you're making progress.

I don’t feel bad. Why would I? Notwithstanding, I do appreciate your concern. :)

wsushox1 at least made an attempt to express an opinion, he or she clearly has one, I just could not discern what that opinion might be – I could make an educated guess but I would rather not.

As for the rest of your post, I have to respectfully disagree.

More thoughtfulness and pleasantry like Maggie.....Less everything else.

ABC fights back against Tea Party protest size falsehoods

ABC News has released a news report saying it was "misquoted" on the size of the Tea Party protest that took place Saturday in Washington, DC.

The network says that, at some point during the protest, FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe -- the head of the organization that organized the demonstration -- stood before the crowd and announced that ABC News had said the crowd at the protest was between one million and 1.5 million people.

ABC said no such thing. As Josh Marshall reported at TalkingPointsMemo, the fire department estimated the crowd at 60,000 to 70,000 people -- a "respectable" size, but nowhere near the order of magnitude that ABC says Kibbe claimed.

...From Kibbe's mic it went to right-wing activist Tabitha Hale's Twitter account -- where, somehow, the number grew again, this time to 2 million...to conservative writer Michelle Malkin's blog. Once it appeared there, there was no stopping it,...

Not that it is terribly significant but….

"DC Fire Department Report" Quote Regarding September 12 Event Misrepresents Agency Policy

In reference to the September 12th Tea Party event held in Washington DC, quoting a “DC Fire Department Report”, regardless of what any media reported, the size of the crowd of those who attended this event were never estimated by DC Fire & EMS. Any reports contrary to this are false. The DC Fire & EMS Department does not estimate crowd sizes.

A Twitter posting estimating the crowd gathering at Lafayette Park only as “large, possibly as many as 60 thousand” stated that it was an early estimation of that specific area (Lafayette Park), not the number of participants in the event.

I learn something new every day.
