I Fully Expect that There Will Be Two Million ++ at Glenn Beck's DC Rally Tomorrow
I fully expect to see just how many of the American People could be duped by this batshit crazy loon. Maybe even three million.

go down there with lawn chairs and just sit and watch the assholes. That's all. Say nothing. Just sit and watch while eating popcorn.

Really?

20. So true...I wanted to attend a conference in June

Our ages dictate separate rooms. I nixed the whole idea.

27. Yeah but
they're probably not staying in DC, they'll stay out in Spotsylvania, Fredericksburg, Culpepper & Dumfries. I'm sort of kidding.

Just an fyi though, if you ever get another chance to go and take your nephew, look into Priceline for hotels. I've had really good luck with them when it comes to places like DC & Chicago.

flooding this ego trip w/ wads of money. Paying for busses and speakers. Who is doing the real work, the 'on the ground' organizing? The stage, porta potties, sound system, signs, security, medical attention, etc?

32. Well...I would expect AT LEAST
as many people as what showed up at the Free Republic convention. Oh, wait a minute, it was cancelled because only about 15 people registrated. As I recall, EVERYBODY said they were coming, but...it was just talk.

I have ever noticed where a sizable crowd shows up. I have talked to various catholic school kids who told me they bus kids from catholic schools all over to DC for that.

it will be the same pathetic spectacle all the other AstroTurf protests have been regardless of how many people show up. A sad group of people made up of racists, idiots, assholes, and lunatics all there protesting against their own self interest.

55. There won't be enough room for them all. I doubt they'll even get 500,000.
Look at President Obama's inauguration, which was estimated between 1.5 and 2 million.











You are saying there will be as much as double that?

No way.
