McCain camp exaggerates crowd size---shocking!

[AlCzervik]

not really.



The Virginia Beach Fire Marshal's office estimated the size of the crowd to be 12,000. A McCain campaign spokeswoman claimed the crowd size was 25,000, but the Convention Center's capacity is only 16,000.

1. Freeptards are pushing that it was 30k.

they are sincerely gullible morons. They will believe their own lies when they know full well they came up with those numbers out of thin air.

no need for facts in a republican campaign.. just lie lie lie until you convince everyone you're right. it's all they know how to do.

8. The MSM is complicit in this

Notice they almost never show a wide aerial view of the crowd for a McCain rally.

9. Granted, a lot of them would count as two.

10. That guy up front (with what looks like a large urine stain on his pants leg).

He looks very familiar. Wasn't he the same bozo who was brandishing a "Hussain-Monkey" at a recent Palin event?

11. losers just make shit up to look like they can win

keep lying and deceiving people. it's getting you real far.

and keep saying that your crowds are twice the capacity of the venue, i love your desperation!

[formercia]

12. Charge them with a fire code violation

for exceeding the capacity of the facility.

[CreekDog]

13. They weren't exaggerating

that's the total IQ.

[Bucky]

15. Here's a picture of the event. Are you really trying to say this wasn't 25k cheering McCain fans?

Freepers tend to count themselves twice :evilgrin:
