I MENTIONED THE HUGE CROWD AT MARK LEVIN’S BOOK-SIGNING, but reader Dan Byers sends this video. That’s a truly amazing line. He writes: “My wife and I just got back from Levin’s book signing in Tysons Corner. The line was unbelievable. As much as we love Mark, we decided not to stand out in the cold rain for five hours. But thousands of others seemed happy to do so–here is a quick video I took that shows the size of the line–the passion and size of his following sure make it easy to understand why the Left wants to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine (or ‘Localism,’ it’s kinder-sounding twin).” And why they’ll have a lot of angry people to deal with if they try. . . . The book’s still #1 on Amazon.

Cleveland gop No, I don’t think anyone camped out overnight but many had multiple copies of L & T for MARK to sign. After the prior Long Island signing event they were better prepared @ Tyson’s. To pun a phrase MARK had to be dog tired!
You could hear from people in the waiting line that they are hungry to hear MARK talk about our Founding Father’s & the Documents of Liberty they produced. Mason Dixon
Holy COW! THAT’S a LINE!
Excellent!!!Thanks for the report and for meeting Mark for us!!!
And always remember the simple but necessary saying in these times......
INVEST IN IMPEACHMENT!!!
I was IN that crowd!
Thank you!
Good job, P!
Absolutely AMAZING!! How many would you guesstimate were there??
Yes, I was there! The line would have even been longer except once the 2,000 pink bracelets were distributed, latecomers bought books without waiting in line. I was in group 5 since I got in the line at 7:30 a.m. and we were finished at noon. I heard that when the mall opened at 5:00 a.m., people were already in line. We then went and saw the movie “Knowing” since it was a rainy day and when we returned to B&N several hours later to see how the line was going, they were on group 30 (25 per group) and the line was still out the door of the mall. POOR MARK!!
I wonder what the final group number was, head count, and if that nice woman at Mark’s side was Mrs. Levin. Amazing how many people in the line were connected with a branch of service in some way. It was a very nice group of people and everyone really seemed to enjoy each other’s company while there.
WOW! Thanks for the youtube link. HOORAY Mark!
WOW! Awesome outcome — I’m so glad that you enjoyed your day! Did you get to talk or ask questions to Mark, or did the employees and guards hurry you in and out?
Curtis Sliwa and some Guardian Angels were also there and signed Mark’s book as well! That was very nice of them and people loved having a chance to talk to Curtis. Mark greeted each person individually when I went through this morning. I don’t know if he was still able to do that by book #1,234+!!! I’d like to know what time that video was taken, if anyone knows.
Holy cow!! THAT’S a line!! I and a co-worker each placed our order for Mark’s book yesterday on Amazon.com. It’s out of stock, but should be in again soon!
I am encouraged to see so many people - patriots - coming out to buy his book. It gives me great hope.
I talked to the people who were first in line... they got there at 5:30 this morning. I got there at 9am and was in group 17, didn’t get my book signed until 2:00. The woman in line in front of me drove down from Connecticut and had left at 2:30 in the morning.... I guess that’s the closest to camping out that I found!
What a turnout for a book I can’t wait to read. If this doesn’t start to make a positive impact on current things, I don’t know what will.
I hope people buy these and hoard/hide them. If things continue to digress as they have over the past few weeks, these types of books will be banned in Amerika.
When Rush interviewed Levin, he said that Mark wanted the book released before the election. Well, I believe in Divine Providence. The timing of this release is one element to it’s success. In just 60 days,Obama’s radicalism has given America a wake up call. No matter how many warnings aboutt Obama were issued before the election, they seemed to fall on deaf ears.
The stock market has tanked, 401K’s are down the toilet, the unborn are more vulnerable than ever, the stimulus bill fiasco, the planned takeover of our healthcare system, bailouts ad nauseum have, together, given Americans a hunger for a rational answer to all the madness. Enter Levin’s manifesto.
Just got my copy today. I’ll start reading tomorrow.
Mighta saw my back at around 0:56. That was a big ole line. My toes is still numb.
Just reviewed it in slo-mo... guy in orange hat and white shirt at 1:09 is definitely Loudoun County supervisor Eugene Delgaudio. The lone conservative wolf throwing a monkey wrench at the idiots that have doubled my tax in 6 years.
It could have been the line to meet Santa Clause though. I missed any evidence that it was for meeting Mr. Levin.
I'd think that except for *I WAS THERE* and saw the *SAME FREAKIN PEOPLE IN THE LINE* in the *SAME FREAKIN WEATHER* at the *SAME FREAKIN PLACE*.
If you prefer, wait to see it reported on MS-NBC or Washington Post for confirmation.
I'm too cold and tired and sore not to be snarky about this.
After standing in line for 5 hours, conversing with people who "get it", I was wondering how in the world we could possibly have elected Obama.
After walking back through the mall to get to my car, I realized.
It's pretty sad.
