[i]Jamie_B,

I am addressing the last part of your post first:

Look at the image, read the blog, then I will comment.[/i]

[img]http://usera.imagecave.com/smoothsailing/battlefield-copy-copy.jpg[/img]

[color="#000080"]The aerial photo above is marked with my observations of how the groups are arrayed. The anti-war groups are marked in [color="#FFFF00"]yellow[/color] the police in blue, [color="#FF0000"]and the Gathering of Eagles (GOE) in red[/color]. As you can see, the middle of ANSWER’s muddy ball field is virtually empty. After four years at Annapolis, I became very accustomed to seeing the assembled Brigade of 4,500 midshipmen. This crowd might be a little bit bigger than that, but not by much. Maybe 6,000 to 7,000 tops. Not an impressive turnout at all, by ANSWER standards.

I give ANSWER the benefit of the doubt – for the moment – and assume that many of the protesters have yet to arrive. It’s only 11:30am, after all, and the march isn’t (officially) scheduled to step off until 12:00pm, although I know from experience that they always start an hour late (in fact, ANSWER’s permit to close the roads to the Pentagon won’t take effect until 1:00pm). So, after trudging around in the mud for a few minutes (and being offered several more socialist newspapers), I decide to head over to the Wall.[/color]

[i]In aerial photography, this shot would be called Nadir (pinpoint)[/i]. Without the benefit of an arrow indicating North; I will call the top portion North, the right-side East, the left-side west and the bottom south.

[i]This a ground level image of ANSWERS staging area looking North-South and related comments[/i]:

[color="#000080"]The media claims that 30,000 protestors showed up for the rally, which was clearly false. This is ANSWER's rally space which I calculate would hold a maximum of 26,000 people if packed into three foot square boxes. As you can see, they could only fill up one end of it with their crowd. Usually, ANSWER can draw about 30,000 to 50,000 and then claims half a million. Just an eyeball estimate places their crowd at a fraction of the claimed 30,000. The crowd was so thin that ANSWER could only inflate their estimate by three or four times instead of the usual ten.[/color]

[i]As you can see by the red, the Eagles were spread out.[/i]

[i]Like these[/i]:

[quote name='Jamie_B' post='462362' date='Mar 25 2007, 10:13 PM']Also of note. (Scroll to bottom)

It appears the National Park Service no longer does "crowd counting" (at least not officially).

Jamie_B,

[i]You are correct. They will not do an [b]OFFICIAL[/b] count.

One of the organizers recieved a call from someone from the NPS (I had his name two hours ago and I have been unable to find it again). The NPS had a UH-60 helocopter up taking photo's of both sides.[/i]

[i]So, it will always be an UNOFFICIAL count, on both sides.[/i]

OK, so if there were only 300,what a statement they made.

[quote]As an analogy I would assume you would object to the branding of Hitler as a “Christian” = Even though he indeed saw himself as one.

Thus would it be fair to lay Christianity at the doorsteps of the Nazi death camps … just because the Fuhrer had a twisted view of Christianity – or called himself one.[/quote]

I believe you were MIA when I brought up Hitler's introduction of the Thule Society (Hitler himself was not a member); Hitler (some would argue like Constantine) required to legatimize himself as a international statesman; so he [u]used[/u] the church as means.

These pics show something but Im not sure its anything near "30,000" for GOE. What Im looking for to see something that would resemble that "30,000" would be a pic like BJ put up on the front page.

[center][i] "[b]My feelings as a Christian[/b] points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In [b]boundless love as a Christian[/b] and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that [b]He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. [/b] [b]As a Christian [/b] I have no duty to allow my self to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows . [b]For as a Christian[/b] I have also a duty to my own people." [/i]

[size=4]~ Adolf Hitler[/size]

[size=1]in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)[/size][/center]




[color="#556B2F"][b]- Point being ... that Hitler saw himself as a Christian ... now of course you will have some CARM crap to paste saying differently ... but I don't care. He saw himself as a Christian --- I would argue he wasn't. JUST LIKE the Nazi's saw themself as Socialists --- I would argue they were not. [/b][/color]
