Thousands of people have already poured into Washington, D.C. for a Saturday rally organized by conservative radio and television commentator Glenn Beck.
SNIP
Although camping is illegal on the National Mall, hundreds of people are choosing to spend the night on the grassy lawn of the Mall on both sides of the Reflecting Pool. They are doing that to get a better view on Saturday. Police say, as long as people remain awake, they may stay.
(Check out the video report of the crowd and Beck's pre-rally visit to the site at the source link. In the video, the reporter says there are equally large numbers of people in the hundreds on either side of the Reflecting Pool, hence I put the campers at a thousand.)

Oh really.
Well god bless Tony and Albert.

Guess Obama & his Marxist mafia are thinking that giving lip service to “supporting our troops” might be better PR than halting the prosecution of the terrorist bomber of the USS Cole.
Words are just not strong enough anymore to describe that man.
Albert Pujols is the Cardinals first baseman, National League MVP several times, and a wonderful man. (He hit home run #301 last night.)
GO CARDS!
C-SPAN will be covering Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally at the Lincoln Memorial this Saturday, with Sarah Palin among those expected to attend. Coverage begins 10amET.
Beck was on the Mall again today (above) taking another walk-through in preparation for Saturday.

It is racist to look at 50,000 people and not see a million.
Yes! C-SPAN will be covering the event.
And 'of course not'. . .and right, on the radio show as well. 'Who knew' - knows; or cares?
You think there are about 50,000 at the rally? I would guess a bit more, probably 70,000.
While I wish safety for the event, I am really tired of Beck’s schtick. His histrionics and crying are more than I can take. I quit listening to him or watching his show. This country is in deep kimm chee and we need more than his “Restoring Honor” national group hug and Kum-By-Yah to pull us out of this. When are people going to grow a pair and march on DC such that the elites will be scared for once? This rally, while uplifting and for a good cause, does not serve to push back against the Obama onslaught. We need to push back, when pushed. Not turn the other cheek. The patiots at Lexington did not drop to their knees before the redcoats, they raised their muskets and looked them in the eye! Geo. washington, while a spiritual man did not ASK the Brits to leave, he shot them. Glenn, the SOWF is thankful for the $$$ raised and you are a good man for doing it. But someone needs to grow a pair one of these days.
didnt I just hear Beck give an estimate of how many are thate at this moment
(Have not see all of it; but am wondering if I missed the Jewish input - have not heard Glenn include by name, Jews; nor mention synogogs - along with Churches - that he is challenging to rise to the occasion. Am thinking; that ime next year; Glenn will have his own Church; and Fox News may not be his pulpit.)
No question Glenn has done an incredible amount of 'good' great deal of good - and I hope he continues to educate - but this is too much IMHO!
i can remember when hoover wanted him dead.
I complain every place I stay. Recently I’ve taken to not checking in until CNN is turned off if it is playing in the lobby.
I ask “why are you watching the lower rated news station. I find their programming personally offensive. Conservatives are routinely denigrated by the hosts and guests of the station.”.\
Really fun given the ethnic background of most desk people.
I used to always travel on election night - SEMA show in Vegas. For 2000, 2002, had to watch returns on CNN, because no FOX available. The 2004 win was so much fun I intentionally watched on CNN - watching the weasals unable to call Ohio for Bush even with a 150k vote lead.
What are the numbers?
I heard above 500,000...
Sleep on the streets in San Diego!!!
Did you mention they PITCH TENTS on the sidewalks of San Diego after dark, especially around the library downtown and you can smell the pee and poop!
Yeah, you really want to go downtown for a good meal!
Thank goodness for California socialism that takes care of everyone.
I promise we will never know. That information will be locked away.
How could this be? There were only a thousand that attended the entire rally? /massive sarc
