Glenn Beck is wildly exaggerating and inflating numbers from the recent Tea Party in Washington D.C. In what has become a steady stream of misinformation and half truths, Beck is claiming that 1.7 million people attended the Tea Party Express, numbers that have been firmly repudiated by every respectable news source. The actual numbers are estimated to be in the tens of thousands, with somewhere between 50,000 and 90,000 people in attendance.

---------------------------------------

In the Video even the "Friends" know the number is in the tens of thousands. It is almost like they are humoring a crazy uncle.

    • Keep attacking the messenger, Obamanites. You're making yourselves look brilliant on the message boards of Current...

      Does anyone care how many people were there? They were legal, have a legitimate cause for protest and did so peacefully....that's more than can be said for all Bush's anti-war protestors.
