Great crowd shot of the Beck rally by the BBC

"My guestamate is 350K - 450K"

That's exactly what I thought just based on attending the Indianapolis 500 the last 30 years in a row. It looks about 100,000 more than an Indy crowd.

[Bigg Red]

BOR goes out of his way to ridicule Beck. I think he is jealous of Beck’s talent and popularity.

[Joe Boucher]

I’d bet the farm this shot doesn’t appear on any of the nightly m.s.m news programs.

[Fresh Wind]

Aw, that’s just overflow from the $harpton rally.

[DWC]

She also hunts and fish.

[Faith]

You’re right. She does it all and remains both courageous and optimistic. God bless Sarah!

[Publius6961]

Even that would be a step in the right direction. I would expect those outlets to describe the attendees as crazed, right-wing, hateful, extremist, puppy kickers.

You forgot racist and homophobic.

Was that deliberate?

[Yaelle]

Were you there, Onyx? Jealous!

[dusttoyou]

CSPAN, although acceptable at some level, still can not get beyond a degree of liberal bias. Prolly got a call from nasty peelousi to “not make em look too good”.

[montag813]

How tall is Beck? He seemed taller than everyone whom he stood next to, except perhaps the guy with the double hook hands.

[Yaelle]

O’Reilly is uncomfortable within his own skin, so insecure, so desperate to be popular, with nothing at his core. Of course he’d be jealous of someone like Beck who is confident and comfortable being himself.

[dusttoyou]

The Pipes and Amazing Grace was very touching to say the least.

[Publius6961]

I could stop the and rewinde to take the pic, but I don’t have the camera.

Any digital camera works fine. Specially on an LCD big-screen.

Incidentally, I watched the CSPAN telecast, and I don't remember a shot of Sarah P. during the "Amazing Grace" segment.

he’s jealous of beck

Posted on Facebook page:

“The State-Controlled, Drive-By, partisan political operative media must really love the story of Biblical Gideon. What else explains their propensity to downsize the number of attendees (to rallies they don’t like) by a multiple of 100?”

(for lurkers in Rio Linda, Gideon was called to assemble an army to fight against the Midianites...32000 people showed up. He was told that it was too many. Between those who were simply afraid, and those who put their faces down to the water to drink, all but 300 were sent home. That’s about a multiple of 100.)

[Frangibled]

“You can say I’m a dreamer”.......

But what would have been cool: Reverend Al Sharpton and his group, making their way to join Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally. Now, that would have been a nice “I have a Dream” message.

[Kozak]

CNN and MSNBC will have that crowd pegged at hundreds of supporters hundreds of bitter hating rascists.

FIFY

[Stonewall Jackson]

I’m guessing that the shot was taken from the Washington Monument. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

[onyx]

I don’t have a camera.

[onyx]

No, sadly, I was not there either, so don’tbe jealous of me...lol.
