Please post your updates from D.C. and from news reports here as well as your photos of the day.
Our Walter Reed salute to the troops last night was very well attended. Upwards of 800 people were there over the three-plus hours of the demonstration.
Photos and video taken by This Ain'tHell taken in daylight before the bulk of the crowd showed can be viewed here.
Free Republic 9/11 Candlelight Vigil from Washington DC
Actually when men "wink,wink" at me they usually get punched in the nose. Know what I mean? Wink, wink.
Why did Glen Beck have a clown reporter circulate through the crowd 5 minuutes ago on FOX?
That down right embarrassing
Does it matter in the grand scheme of things to pin the exact number down to the exact degree of K????
Obviously by looking at the aerial shots there are 10’s of K’s of people there....
It is a remarkable turnout.
The question now is, are there any Republican OFFICE HOLDING officials left who give a damn about why people are so organized????
And what are the plans to do something about it????
Alas, a great turn out, to what end tho?
The audio SUCKS!
Should he do the guessing like the twitters? Sorry but you can’t blame him for going off an official estimate.
LOL...who counts for the “official estimate”—Acorn?
The KOS kooks better realize that our side has most of the guns....
Live on CSpan now!
sorry I have to switch to C-Span, but live coverage.
C-Span’s got it up now.
Do people here understand how insane 2 mil is? Most stadiums hold 50k-70k. 2 mil is 15-20 times that many.
Using those numbers is irresponsible and when the real figure comes out will only create a huge let down.
Let’s try to keep it realistic. On the high side of realistic...
Not thrilled with this coverage so far- but that may just me...
Hoping he would just cover the tea party live with the music and speakers and a few interviews in the studio maybe...
I had to turn it up real loud, its there though
I would never believe Glenn Beck could or would do something embarassing. He is a media icon.
Say it isn't so.
Sadly even the banner on Becks show says “thousands”
Amen!
And isn’t it so true? I see it
played out in my life every day
.. friend, family, neighbor ..even
my parish priests.
We are truly from different planets.
I don’t know what in God’s name
will unite us. I don’t yet see or
know how it can come to be.
The Fox screen print say
“tens of thousands” ...
Who has accurate crowd info?
I think it was Tom Price out of GA.
C-SPAN for me........Beck is a great guy, but I want to watch the Tea Party.......wish I could be there.
Turn to C-Span!
That’s why the dirty democrat tricksters(ACORN?) got the permit for the mall. They didn’t want pictures of people filling it up from the monument to the capitol steps. That kind of shot would have been devestating for their power image. That is also the way crowds are estimated in DC...but we have the shot of the streets and those shots don’t lie. Many people are under the tree line lining the mall for a mile down the mall corridor.
