So today's rightwing lie is to claim no one attended Obama's campaign kickoff

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Drudge and Breitbart both have the headline "Obama kicks off campaign to empty arena"
with this photo:


The truth: The media reports 14,000 attended the 18,000 seat event (77 percent full)

I'm sure Drudge wouldn't just post a photo of the arena as it was filling up, rather than run one of the real crowd.

I mean, it's not like he's the same guy who ran this on his front page in 2008:



He wouldn't use dishonest photos to spread a lie, now would he?

But wait and see - the lazy media will still adopt this B.S. talking point on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

1. 14,000 in Columbus, OH, or Richmond, VA???

My guestimate= he saw 25,000 today!!!

2. I believe it was 14,000 in Ohio & 8,000 in Virginia (smaller venue) so 22,000 total.

Republicans are just asking for all of Romney's ridiculously small crowds to get ridiculed from now on. Really, do these assholes want to go there? They are going to get their asses kicked.

4. They are indeed, Pirate!

3. They are no ones; they're the 99% (Rightwing double plus think) n/t
