Wow! Look at the crowd. I wonder how many were there. Wish I could’ve been there.

Actually, I wonder how many the LSM will report attended?

Mighty brave of her to be walking amongst so many "racist" fear/hate mongers.

Somehow I just knew you wouldn’t be able to figure it out on your own and resort to name calling.

One only had to read your posts.

Sharpton was asked about her on CSPAN today, and he said that she told him that she might show up to both rallies.

Yep.

Rush never went beyond his radio show. Heck he hasn’t really written an issues book since “See, I Told You So”, which came out almost 20 years ago when I was in Jr. High!

No, they are not incompetent one bit - they move well over a million people several times a day through the Metro.

It depends whose in power to be honest - when the Million Man March went on they ran rush-hour service for the miserable crowd that showed up.

Part of it is political, the other part, and lets be honest about this, our side has only just started to really ramp up pro-America demonstrations at in DC in huge numbers. The left believes they own the sole right to protest and have held that belief since the demonstrations over Vietnam.

I honestly believe Metro Admin thought that many people would show up for a right-wing event. When it happened, well they had to do something about it, after all, who do these right-wingers think they are coming to DC to protest!!!

He had the Ft Collins Bake Sale. I was there — it was grand and we left it spotless. I think even rush was surprised at the turnout.

>>The CSPAN Facebook comments section on the rally is just full of pure hate.<<

Good! I’m glad. First, it shows what they are and second it shows that we hold a power they are afraid of.

No one paid for that crowd.

The sign behind the leftist jihadist says "Glenn Beck is a bigot".

Yes, TrafficLand cameras showing HUGH crowds of people on the streets. I’m sure the MSM will spin it as crowds going TO Al Sharpton’s rally. LOL.

"Wow! Look at the crowd. I wonder how many were there. Wish I could’ve been there.

Did you see Glenn Beck when he looked up and said these words? (paraphrase) Wow! The crowd is so big a camera helicopter just violated the airspace to get a picture of the crowd.

They are the most family-oriented and kindest people I know. Unlike people from other faiths, I never hear them saying bad things about other people, I am not one, but I admire their values == we could all use a dose of the value system they embrace.

I hope we can actually get an account of how many were as this rally. I wonder how many saw this on cspan? I thought this was great.

Hubby and I had tears at Amazing Grace with the singing.

I saw Sarah had tears also.

I am so happy there did not seem to be any there that disrupted this.

Yes, a nice, peaceful rally that will surely leave the grounds cleaned up.

We Christian Conservatives are nothing if not clean and tidy. Ha!!

Seriously though, Glenn promised that he would have a fairly accurate and provable count. He said he would explain it on Monday.

I noticed there were some planes and a helicopter overhead (in a NO-FLY area!), so I am guessing that he arranged that…I have no idea how he could have, but there definitely were planes up there!

Do they do ratings of C-Span? It would be interesting to see!
