much more important ... namely, my arrest for possession of cocaine

“But the Associated Press said tens of thousands of people participated in the rally.”
This is several times the size they estimated for 9/12/2009 - which was probably 800,000 to 1.3M from all objective standards. Does that mean that that today’s actual crowd was rally around 2M?
I’m kidding - I’ve heard 300K to 600K though. Wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t have to do the media’s work for them? What monkeys they are.
i saw one pic and it was wall to wall people from the lincoln memorial and past the washington monument. I guess easy 100k people
“100,000? Perhaps.” You gotta be kidding me. This article steers the reader toward the AP’s “tens of thousands” for authority. That’s pathetic!
Well she did finally grow a pair and filled out. The press is all upset at the power of Beck and the failure of Sharpton’s counter rally.
CNN has been pissing their pants all day on this. I’ve been subjected to their propaganda all day in airports today. It has been their “ TOP NEWS STORY.”
Beck who draws a bigger audience than their top 3 talking monkeys together has them in a dither. Their jist has been — oh this is political and on MLK’s anniversary of being murdered. The faux outrage and concern and oh, dear, me, how, could,he, BS is so obvious it’s pathetic.
BBC has a decent sized photo - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11121542
That’s OK. They’ll be forced to cover the turn out on in November.
“...hundreds...”
Interesting, how crowds are inflated for one group, and denigrated for another. Facebook @ 160,000. C-Span?
take a guess. rally? likely @ 9/12 at this point.
This is just the start, folks. Read “Democracy in America”
before you vote.
But for sure, cover the diffrence in the amount of trash that will be left behind compared to Obama.

In fact, Politico does not WANTY to say. This left wing outfit simply wants to muddy the waters by denying the crowd size.
Early on the morning of Aug. 28, 1963, the National Mall in Washington, D.C., was empty apart from a few sightseers. But by midday, close to half a million people were massed peacefully among the monuments and museums for what became one of the most important events in the civil rights movement: the March on Washington.http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129470920&ft=1&f=1003
Well, they could estimate Dr. King's crowd back in 1963 but they can't estimate Glenn Beck's crowd? Does anyone notice MLK's crowd ONLY goes half way up the reflecting pool while Glenn Beck's crowd went up all the way to the Washington Monument. If there were half a million at King's ralley then just from the picture alone there had to be a million at today's ralley.
I was there and when we left we could see crowds standing as far back as the Washington Monument.
The only number that really matters in regards to this event is how much money it raised for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.....and it sounds like that was a really nice amount.
The area from the Lincoln Memorial to the reflecting pool was pretty much packed, confirmed by pictures and my own observation while there. That's about half the area shown in yellow as public access, which the chart shows is capable of holding 946k. That would mean slightly under 500k if the chart is accurate. Plus, there were quite a few people milling around between the reflecting pool and the Washington Monument. I think 500k is a pretty good bet.
