1. Thank you for reporting...
I've been wondering what they're saying over there. But I've been having some "gutzilla" issues and don't want to get sick again so have avoided checking them out.

3. Divide by 10...
50-100k is probably more like it from what I've seen of the pictures and on TV.

5. Doesn't matter anyway.
Any march or event could get that many people when it's paraded and publicized all over The Media Kingdom and you have SarUH Palin and Glenn Beck as your speakers.

During the anti-war protests of last decade, which were pretty much ignored by The Media Kingdom prior to the event, it wasn't unusual to see 100 to 300 thousand people in D.C.

6. How many are attending our rally? Oh, that's right, we
didn't have a rally.

When was the last lefty rally that had as many people?

7. By tomorrow, it will be 2 million, and by Monday, Fox will have it at 3 million.
It's a big crowd.

Not bigger than when we marched against the war in DC in 2002-3, and got buried in section B of the Post. Unlike Beck, who merits almost all their column inches.

10. Free Republic would probably have you believe
There are more people at Beck's rally then there were at Obama's presidential inauguration.

11. This rally is nothing more than another Beck TV episode.
He is saying nothing differently. He does not have the right to demand this pulpit. MLK marched, was injured, arrested and eventually died for the cause of civil rights. Beck has done nothing but be a TV celebrity for Rupert Jackoff.

The stench of giant piles of feces is drifting across the country from Washington, D.C. today. This piece of excrement is poisoning the minds of children and causing harm and death human beings by promoting racism and bigotry.

12. This is a numbers based society
that has very little, anymore, to do with the truth. No matter what the number respresents, it will be twisted and spun to the person's/organization's agenda that is declaring the number.

When estimates range from 200k to 500k...for anything, one has to wonder at how the high estimate can be two and a half times bigger than the smaller estimate. What that basically means is there aren't any good "estimaters" out there!

Beck is an utter abomination. Palin is disgustingly nauseating. Both foul the airwaves. However, they can spew all they want, where they want, because this IS the country that gives them that right, as much as they want to destroy it.

peace,
Lilly

13. That's a pretty huge range. Why not "1 to 2 billion" if we're making up numbers?
