No one seems to be sure exactly how many people packed the National Mall today for the Rally To Restore Sanity And/Or Fear, but there's one thing everyone can agree on: sanity and/or fear are extremely popular.
MTV's spokesperson told the Washington City Paper's Mike Madden that 250,000 people came out to see Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert take the stage Saturday, while Viacom (the parent company of MTV and Comedy Central, home to Stewart's and Colbert's show) told the New York Times' Brian Stelter that "well over 200,000" were in....
At the rally itself, Mythbusters hosts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage said they counted about 150,000....
To be sure, even the smaller estimates show an extremely large crowd for a DC event, even one in this year of tea party rallies packing the Mall and the Capitol lawn. I have been to many a tea party rally, from the big ones to the small ones, and jammed in the crowd at Stewart's rally as I was today I can say there was an amazingly big turnout....

250k? LOL Then the Tea Party rally drew 1m....
It’s amusing. I remember the days when Leftists could swing a rally the size of the Tea party rallies or larger. Now all their coordinated astroturfed efforts can only passably put together something over 100k. This impresses people? Hardly. The anti-war (really anti-America/Republican) rallies a few years ago were more impressive. The pro-amnesty/take back America for Mexico rallies were impressive. This is nothing.
One’s a big dill, the other’s a gherkin.

Aren't you clever.
The count that matters will happen Tuesday night.
You can't fake commitment. You can't fake patriotism or belief in a cause. Everything about the Left is phony window dressing. They had to bus in, if not outright pay, most of the attendees today. I guarantee you less than half the people there will even bother going to the voting booth on Tuesday.

That’s not much of a crowd considering they were bussing people in.
And since I have some free time this evening, I’m gonna jam some ammo in some magazines. Seems like the thing to do.
Just saying.
5, 100, 1500, 150K. You throw free birdseed in the air you attrack a lot of pigeons. lol
Wonder what they did when they had to take a crap since all the porta potties were at the Marine Marathon event. I sure would like to see the “after” photo of these “fleabaggers”.
Oprah probably hired ‘janitors’ to make sure that all garbage/trash was picked up though.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
Good job, FlingWingFlyer. You get credited with the kill.
GOOD CALL!!!
That’s it? That’s all there was? Coca Cola paid for Huffpo’s busses, Oprah paid for hotel rooms, I don’t know who supplied the pot....
They can put a lot of Hitler signs up, but to put Cantor up as a Nazi is more than despicable, being he is Jewish.

This turd needed a double hit anyway. He was a troll from day one of his short FReeper career.
