Refresh every few minutes by pressing F5 on your keyboard.

The crowd is rowdy with occasional chants of “USA, USA” or “Glenn, Glenn”

A crowd of possibly 300,000 is expected at the Mall on Washington, DC for Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial. We plan to cover it “live” from his Facebook streaming audio.

Lots of surprise guests will be showing up for this blend of religion and patriotism. Last night at the Divine Destiny rally at the Kennedy Center, evangelicals Twila Paris, Dave Roever, and Chuck Norris all made appearances.

Today’s rally will feature veterans who will be introduced by Sarah Palin, Alveda King (niece of Martin Luther King and pro-life advocate), and David Barton.

Ralph Reed on CSPAN is brilliant.

Cspan covers it and Fox doesn’t? Whats up with that?

I heard something about Fox saying it’s Beck’s thing, and they have nothing to do with it. I think they aren’t covering it to avoid all the BS from the left.

IMHO Fox does not want to be (wrongly) accused of sponsoring Glenn’s event....in addition to all the other bashing they get from the losers in MSM.

C-SPAN will be covering Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally at the Lincoln Memorial this Saturday, with Sarah Palin among those expected to attend. Coverage begins 10amET.

Beck was on the Mall again today (above) taking another walk-through in preparation for Saturday.

Beck wearing a bullet proof vest under his shirt, probably a good move.

Watching on C-Span. I bet this will be their highest rated program ever.

I just love it because it will make the libs’ heads explode.

Am sure this makes them uncomfortable and whether televised or not; they are targets from Left and who will determinedly make manure from hay out of this.

Yes it definitely shows - but it is necessary.

Fleeting screen shot showed part of the crowd, HUGE.

Over 750,000, based on 200,000 + at the reflecting pool, 250,000 + in the first lot, and 250,000 + in second lot and 100,000 + coming in from the Washington monument... there will be more it's not even 10:30 yet.

I"m sure that this crowd will be praying for the six hundred fat al followers that show up this afternoon.{but the drive byes will try to convince you that both rallys were equal size.

That’s just how Cspan works it - tight shots on 100% white groups of people.

I just spoke to my sister, she’s still in line to get on a train at the Franconia-Springfield station. She’s been been there since 8AM.
