Alveda King! I love her!

I don’t think there is a reason for fear. There is no malice at this event, but of inspiration and integrity. It’s a peaceful event.

[FourPeas]

ROFL!

[circlecity]

"It’s a peaceful event."

so was Malcomb's last speech until they shotgunned him to death.

[jackv]

Oh my...I am balling like a baby!!! I am so moved by the MLK speech!

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Right now I am sad, why is it that some Black Americans have chosen to live Dr. King's Dream and prosper economically and spiritually, while others have chosen to live in hate.

We are all Americans!

Wow this young woman has a beautiful voice!

[netmilsmom]

Thanks, that’s always been a stumbling block for me.
Fear.

I need to pass it all off to The Lord.

[stylecouncilor]

I can’t listen to it without blubbering like a baby!

[CheneyLives]

Wow, I wish I could be there in person - I AM there in spirit. God bless Glenn Beck, Sarah, et al.

[cmsgop]

All of the Rat Blogs and websites are FREAKING OUT about this rally, they are scared!

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Me too.

According to the NYTimes covverage, there shouldn’t be any problem at all. They posted this story 12 minutes ago, saying that ‘tens of thousands’ attended:

As you can see, they accompanied the story with a photo of all of 11 people from earlier this morning. (This thread shows the actual crowd that was already there at 6:30 AM.) I also clicked through on their link for live coverage, but they had just Sharpton’s rally there instead, which the MSNBC feed had plugged as “massive”.

[stylecouncilor]

And she’s drop dead gorgeous too!

[Dinah Lord]

11:45 am Representatives from various District political campaigns, labor unions, churches and listeners to Joe Madison and the Rev. Al Sharpton's radio show are here.

All looking for their Obama stash!!!

Anyone have any of the latest turnout estimates?

Please no hopeful, exaggerated turnout numbers, just a reality based estimates based on the crowd now versus crowds for other rallies.

I don’t have enough experience with crowd sizes or DC to have any clue at all, though I do know it is hard to get real numbers sometimes because supports of rallies tend to vastly overestimate turnout.

[stumptalker]

"Cool, Jesus Christ got a round of applause."

I'm surprised the ground didn't shake in DC when they did.

[Scythian]

I HOPE THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME ARIEL PHOTOS !!!!

[GrannyAnn]

I love Alveda too! She unites us, unlike those other race pimps. There is hope for all Americans.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Just looked! She is a lovely lady!
