The Catholics who live in Rome probably don’t show up for all the Pope’s events - just a guess;). Much like Londoners for the Queen, Malibu for the Oscars and New Orleans for Mar de gras.

Smile? I don't think that crowd even knows how to smile.

[manc]

they bussed in school kids too to make the numbers up.

A heckler at the Sharpton rally.

More people show for oue local HS Football games than Al’s aimless review!

Americans need to take a long look at this anytime you think you are alone.

Already the estimate for Beck's gathering is over 300,000 to a half-million.

Sharpton has about three thousand - many of whom are part of "rent-a-crowd".

This is a tangible and telling testimony to the fact that WE OUTNUMBER THEM. We don't even have to include the millions upon millions who would be at Beck's rally if they had the means, but obama has put so many out of work they can't afford to come to DC.

On the other hand, minorities are thriving at Government jobs, making 6-figure salaries and they could only get 2,000 to 3,000 to come?

I guess there were no TV stores to break into.

The left's biggest muscle is the mainstream media...they make it appear to the rest of us that we are a few stragglers left over from the McCarthy era; a bunch of "angry white men" trying to "restart slavery".

Well, you see it today. No one in Beck's crowd looked angry to me, they look enthusiastic and patriotic.

Some of the speakers have it exactly right, we've overcome a lot of obstacles before as Americans, and we prevailed because America is about her people, not some skinny junkie from Kenya to swindled himself into the oval office.

They cannot make us to anything that is against our Constitution, IF we are willing to stand up to them.

The rule by INTIMIDATION...but as is usually the case with bullies, the intimidators are usually the easiest to intimidate. Get BACK in their face if they come at you, you're as big as they are...and if not, standing together we're bigger than all of them put together...and we have right on our side.

I guess BOR will make his 75,000 claim again.

[luvbach1]

Sharptongue was unable to steal the spotlight from Beck.

[NamVet71MP]

Wife and I just left... The Beckfest that is! It was a hoot. NY Times reporting “...hundreds of thousands at Beck AND Sharpton rallies...” Lying sacks of sh.t!!!

[dforest]

Really is “astroturf”

[manc]

Al
s crowd had paid pre made political signs again, many looking angry, bussed in school kids and had them hold signs too.

Al, people are seeing more and more that obama doesn’t care about that community and that the folks at Becks rally love America and believe in the dream of her

[luvbach1]

The Demonrats can rest easy as far as the votes of black people are concerned. Their bloc-vote support of Demonrats and other leftists remains assured.

[FrankR]

I’m waiting for the pictures of the Sharpton crowd...it will go the way of the “Coffee” party and the “Mad Hatter” TEA party busters...into oblivion.

[manc]

LOL I remember that crap the far left kooks tried to do with a coffee party, what a flop that was LOL.

they can only get crowds when they bring in the rent a mob crowds .

[maine-iac7]

I could not find ONE media mention, before the event, that Dr. Alveda King, MLK’s niece would be a key speaker.

I cannot now find one that mentions her - How dishonest can you be?

She gave a powerful talk - and what about all the black leaders (NOT meaning political) that were there - and that 2 of the 3 medals were given to a black person?

How can the media hold their head up?

If ANYONE finds a media story that mentions the above - especially Dr. King - PLEASE ping me?

Beck mentioned - but gave no names - some who came today were under great personal threat. I suspicion Dr. King was one.

America needs to know who - and from where the threats. That would wake up a LOT of people - pull the scales off the eyes.

(I had the CNN screen up beside the channel I watched - they never, that I saw, once pulled back for even a smaller section of the crowd - and the bottom half of their screen was the media box - showing all the media heads. Very disruptive. It could only be on purpose. when have you ever seen a major event televised in such a manner?)

“LOL I remember that crap the far left kooks tried to do with a coffee party, what a flop that was LOL.”

Can’t imagine why it flopped ... it was supported by Air America ... hmmmmmpppppphhh.

[FrankR]

I'm telling you, this event should really fire up any doubtful, Conservative, fence-sitters.

We are seeing a microcosm of the way it really is; we've got the liberal vastly outnumbered, and we've got "right" on our side. We've got the Constitution on our side.

Never back down to these squirrels, they live to intimidate and to steal other peoples' money.

They KNOW if they push too hard the crowd that is there today could take the Capital building apart, brick by brick, with no tools or weapons...just in sheer numbers.

No FEAR.

""""2,000 – 3,000 turned out. From the The Washington Post."""

This is actually a GREAT testiment to what is happening in America. It shows to me that the Afro American's have GROWN up, and are ready to MOVE on from the RACE issue.

THEY ARE ALL OVER AT GLEN BECKS peaceful Honor rally. rofl.

[The Great RJ]

Of course the MSM will report that only 17 people showed up for Beck’s rally while untold thousands were at Sharpton’s

[newnhdad]

he wasn’t giving anything away so there was no reason to show. If there was free food or some free Obama money, they have lined up for days.
