The US Parks Service should be posting their estimate of the crowd size.

They don't do that any more, after years of taking flak from leftist groups who wanted their own inflated attendance numbers confirmed.

Jim Demint is speaking now, it’s nice to see a politician who’s not afraid of this crowd, lol.

Jim Demint says the media reported 500 people showed up! L0L

New York Times reported 500 people. Death to the New York Times.

Paraphrasing Beck.

DC is a plague.

Reconnect with founding principles.

We find 56 “refounders” in congress.

Let’s be the calvary.

All we need is 56.

Passing nothing until the corruption is stopped.

Bears repeating.........End the corruption first. Its the only way....

House Dems Bracing For Huge Turnout At Glenn Beck/Tea Party Gathering

Looks like there’s serious concern among Dems about the big 9/12 rally that’s being heavily promoted by Glenn Beck, Fox, and the tea partiers for tomorrow.

A top House Dem leadership aide has emailed a memo to Dem aides on the Hill and outside liberal groups warning they should brace for a turnout of up to two million people, suggesting Dems worry that if enough conservatives descend on the Mall it will amount to a major PR victory for the right.

The aide, Doug Thornell, warned in the memo that the dust-up over Joe “you lie” Wilson has been invigorating conservatives. “It looks like Saturday’s event is going to be a huge gathering, estimates ranging from hundreds of thousands to 2 million people,” Thornell wrote in the memo, which was forwarded by a source.

In another sign of concern, the memo painstakingly detailed a range of turnout predictions from the event’s organizers, such as this one from tea party leaders promising a crowd of up to 1,000,000.

Adding to Dem concern is the fact that Beck recently claimed a major victory in the ouster of former green jobs adviser Van Jones.

The House leadership memo predicting huge turnout could have been written in hopes that it would leak and inflate expectations for turnout, anticipating that it will fall far short. But Dems on the Hill insist they’re genuinely worried about what tomorrow will bring.

***************************************

Update: Thornell is actually an aide to Chris Van Hollen, not Pelosi. Aplogies for the error. He’s still a senior House leadership aide, however. And for giggles, check out the comments from the 'tolerant, progressive' liberals...oh, the irony. LOL.

Memo:

House Dem Leadership Memo On 9/12 Rally

Freshmen and Sophomores:

Some of you have asked about the 9-12 rally Fox News’ Glenn Beck, FreedomWorks and other conservative organizations are organizing for Saturday. As you may know, FreedomWorks held a Capitol Hill demonstration yesterday, that turned into an impromptu rally for embattled Rep. Joe Wilson. Now, based off of news reports and comments from leaders in the Tea Party movement, it looks like Saturday’s event is going to be a huge gathering, estimates ranging from hundreds of thousands to 2 million people. Below is what I have been able to find on crowd estimates. As I learn more, I will let you know.

Best, Doug
