THANK YOU! Amazing!
closer to a million...
Awesome rally! The LSM can’t spin everything anymore.
One sore spot is still the top-of-the-hour ABC news radio update. They mentioned the huge crowd, and played a clip of Dr. King’s niece speaking out against racism, then they mentioned Sarah praising our military heroes.
But right after that they said “Conservative commentator Glenn Beck also spoke to a crowd of right-wingers at the same location”, trying to imply that it was a separate event.
The dinosaur media are desperate. Keep up the good fight!
The ACORN- Standing Ovation for Calderon groups are not going to like this.
They will have to make them out to be racists.
They only had a permit for 300,000. Perhaps they could offer to “pay a fine” if the Parks Service would only let them know how much they exceeded their permit?! :)
Headline at Huffington Toast:
BECK HAS A DREAM: Tens Of Thousands Attend Beck’s Rally, Civil Rights Leaders Protest
The MSM will report as follows:
“Glenn Beck’s and the Rev Al Sharpton’s rallies combined for about a million people in Washington today”.
The MSM will fail to mention Sharpton’s rally drew about 5K max and Beck had the remaining 999,500.
Sort of like the NBA player who once proudly announced he and Michael J combined for 81 points in a game. He got 4 and Michael got the other 77 or so. LOL
Maybe AP would like to multiply that tens of thousands by some 100s.
NBC just said “Tens, if not hundreds of thousands...”
LOL
Is she afraid of overestimating? Or is she just ignorant? Either way, she can't very well be called a "reporter" then. I know what my own eyes saw when I watched it online and on C-SPAN. (Plus, there were an additional 130,000+ people watching online at ustream toward the end of the rally.)
They also said that participants had Anti-Obama t-shirts and signs. (even though Beck said no signs)
King: “I have a dream”
Sharpton: “I want a check”
The conversation in every MSM news outlet today has been over what the lowest number estimate they can give without looking like complete jacka$$es.
Today was hubby’s birthday. Wish we could have gone to DC. But, we watched it on television this morning while he opened his presents. He said this was the best birthday he’s ever had. We are so proud of Glenn, Sarah Palin, and the hundreds of thousands of patriots. They represented a lot of patriots who couldn’t be there.
I caught tail ends of NBC’s and CBS’ reports on their respective nightly news. Missed any references to crowd estimates, but NBC said Republicans won’t want to be identified with today’s event, and CBS’ Jeff Greenberg (is that his name?) said the event will have a huge impact on the November elections.
“Huge impact” is an understatement. But perhaps the MSM is finally getting the picture — they can’t downplay what is now a major and still growing movement in this country.
The only way a race whore like al sharpton or any dim politician can draw a crowd like that is to give away cars and rolexes and by the end of it you would probably have to call it a riot.
Kristin, here’s what the MSM and the Elites are missing in their quest to downplay this.
Beck is a radio guy with no organization. He sent out a call for people to show up. No mass mailings. No people on the ground in offices doing phone calls to voters. NOTHING.
This should in reality, scare the crap out of the LEFT/RIGHT paradigm.
By downplaying the very, very obviously huge turnout, the elites have made a major mistake and a big miscalculation.
They have now pointed out the obvious fact that they are afraid.
People have more power and they have, thanks to Beck, now realized it.
