What's with the exaggerations?
Why is the Right Wing exaggerating the crowd size at all the Tea Parties? I've heard that the "offical" estimate is 3,000 to 4,000 for the protest in Washington yesterday. Then you read this:
< Earlier today, FreedomWorks joined 25-35 thousand Americans gathered at the Capitol building to protest Nancy Pelosi's (D-Cali.) proposed takeover of the American health care system. >

IMO 3,000 to 4,000 people is a respectable protest, especially since it seemed like the one yesterday was rather last minute (or maybe I just wasn't hearing anything about it LOL).
What do you think? Why would they make those exaggerations on size? Makes you wonder what else the Right Wingers might be exaggerating...you know, size-wise ;) (sorry, couldn't resist!)
