Depending on density, a crowded National Mall can hold between 1.5 million and 3 million people.

Are you one of those people who have to call people who you disagree with names? That is so tiresome.

[sneakers]

Almost 126000 viewing on Ustream right now.

You’re not really a Marine. But you play one on FR.

Sarah spoke before I tuned in;can any Freepers post the video?

[True Republican Patriot]

Your comment is quite bizarre! You must enjoy Olbermann and Madcow on messnbc?

[newfreep]

Ahhh, a loser socialist who just signed up to toss his marxist bombs.

Following anyone? You don’t ‘get it’ newbie.

Good you posted, thought; now there is no doubt - trolls are a dime a dozen.

[Berlin_Freeper]

A crowd estimate thread will always out at least a couple of trolls suffering from pee-pee envy.

Interesting post from a newbie. Perhaps some attention is warranted.

Watch ustream.tv and you’ll get a gist of the crowd. C-SPAN isn’t showing crowd shots, ustream also has 125,000 folks tuned in online watching the stream.

Drudge is reporting “100,000 expected”, I think it is an ABCnews link.

Drudge needs to update this.

shapton’s 10’s vs Becks 1/2 million.

I just saw a great shot also. It looks like the entire mall is packed solid (with the exception of the sidewalks around the reflecting pool which are corded off). I have no idea how many people that would be, but it’s a great turnout.

Were you discharged because you came out of the closet?

[Darksheare]

So, how’s that hope and change coming for you?

[MEG33]

Indeed..
I missed Sarah..Want a link when available.

[crz]

I’d say about 300 to 400 thousand. Its backed up all the way beyond the WW2 monument.

FYI..C-span will probably replay the whole thing a few times today and tomorrow, and I expect that Palin’s speech, and others, will soon be up on YouTube..

I don't "follow" Glenn Beck, but I am enjoying this rally.

Interesting you should use that word "follow," though.

Are you an Obamatroll?
