Sunrise in Searchlight. The place is crowded already at 6:30am. Anyone else here?
The audio was TERRIBLE there. Just terrible. People in the back couldn’t hear, but they did have a big jumbotron kind of screen so people in back could see and hear.
LOL!
Oh bullcrap.......what possible ‘security’ problems would the signs cause? They.......whoever the heck ‘they’ is...just do not want the media to pick up on the ‘great’ signs. It might just make someone think for a change.
I read that many couldn’t get in because there wasn’t enough space for everyone. :/
Thanks for the thread and for being there for us!

Thanks so much for starting this thread and providing details Hildy. I've been absolutely engrossed all day long. I am so proud of my fellow Americans; my heart has been racing all day!
Did you take all of these? They came out great!
It was probably about 15,000??? It’s so hard to tell when you’re on the ground..but FOX said they had a count.
Well, isn’t that sweet of you to say!!!
One of my favorite things that happened today was early in the morning, there were probably about 100 people milling around at about 7:00am...the sun was just coming up. Most of the media was already there, then FOX drove up and EVERYBODY STARTED APPLAUDING AND GIVING THEM THE THUMBS UP!!! It was very funny.
I’ve heard 15-20K, but CNN says a few dozen. LOL
It was a great turnout!
I’ve been hearing 20000+ for the crowd size, or as CNN put it “hundreds or at least dozens of protesters”
I was watching the FOX feed for a while. A lady was loudly yelling at the FOX guy demanding to know if they were going to tell the truth this time. He told her they would and she told him she hoped so. It was hilarious.
Of note, I have yet to hear anything on FOX about the egg throwing at the buses and Breitbart. I’m hoping they report this.
Even this NYT writer gave a fairly balanced review of the rally(except the numbers and no mention of the egg incident):

I found this part interesting:
“Mr. Reid was in Las Vegas, about 60 miles away, for the opening of a new shooting park with Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association at his side. There, Mr. Reid recalled fondly his small-town upbringing and his first gun, as well as his long friendship with Mr. LaPierre.”
The little Harry weasel was so scared of the Tea Party Patriots, he had to hide out at a gun range, while his supporters threw eggs? LOL!!
God Bless You Hildy!
Oh my. I may now have more photos of that woman than my own family!
Thanks for the laugh, penelopesire. Harry is such a weak-kneed, little coward.
The lapdog media (minus Fox and the internet) will ignore it, unless of course the CBC walks through the crowd and screams “RAAAAACISM!!!!!”
