**After you run that thru the MSM Tea Party Crown [sic] estimator, they will but the attendance between 1,000 and 2,000 people.**

You are close to being correct:

Glenn Beck Rally Attracts Estimated 87,000

"An estimated 87,000 people attended a rally organized by talk-radio host and Fox News commentator Glenn Beck Saturday in Washington, according to a crowd estimate commissioned by CBS News."
One wonders why CBS would "commission" a crowd estimate of Beck's rally. While their numbers-challenged stooges were there, did they tote up Sharpton's numbers, as well?

The local news here ran the two events as an equal side-by-side, never mentioning the crowd numbers or showing a shot of the crowd.

Wait a cotton-pickin' minute.

Isn't that exactly the same number they used for the 9/12 march?
