It sucks how these journalists give such prominence to handdful of counterprotesters. When you have a protest of 500,000, a significant amount of your article should not be about 100 counterprotesters.
Looking at the pictures of the demo taken from the Washington Monument, it looks like the turnout was around 500,000. The Million Man March and Promise Keepers rally had around 800,000, which was much bigger than what I've seen of today's protest in pictures.
Good fucking turnout. Hope it pisses off the right people.

Not to sound like a broken cd [or 8 track!!] but I'll simply repeat that the smartest-radist organizers in Seattle spring-summer-fall '99 were women.
