I haven’t paid much attention to the numbers the mainstream media is saying attended the Glenn Beck ‘Restoring Honor’ rally yesterday at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., but I’d guesstimate it’s somewhere around 500-1000 people given their track record on previous ‘estimates’.
This is a photo I first saw on Twitter, and since I’ve seen it floating around elsewhere. I thought I’d share it with everyone just in case you haven’t seen it.
I did leave the rally early and headed over to Al Sharpton’s ‘Reclaiming the Dream’ rally in hopes of getting an interview with him. Unfortunately, his New Black Panther bodyguard (Yes, he actually had a Black Panther bodyguard) told me he wasn’t doing interviews.

Beck's group was described as, "mostly white."
Sharpton's group was described as, "civil rights activists."
Beck’s group: Americans
Uncle Al’s group: Plunderers
‘Keep dope alive’..
Suggest that you re-read the article. The author was (obviously) being very sarcastic with regards to the State Run Media crowd estimates.
Uncle Al’s group: Plunderers
The former came to ask what they could do for their country.
The latter to ask what have you done for me lately.
Sharpton’s group were all union types wearing union t-shirts.
It’s sarcasm directed at the mainstream media and their initial reporting of the first 9/12 march...
Sharptons group: Bussed in and paid to attend.
By the way...I haven't seen any aerial pics of Sharpton's rally.
Al Sharpton's Rally was attended by over 2 million admirers of the late Martin Luther King from all over the country. Amazingly, each of the two million civil rights activists gave street numbers on "Martin Luther King Boulevard," as their home address.
They were all bused in. I was going to get a picture of that on my way out but forgot. I heard there was only 8 people there before those in the buses joined them.
Past time of being nice to this trash
And you won't, because it was so embarassingly small.
When Joe Biden made a campaign stop (announced well in advance) here, they described the crowd as "about 500". But the only photos were of Biden and his "amen" chorus on stage. Why do you suppose that was?
Kind of a lousy pic of Sharptons group. It’d be good to have actual side-by-side aerial photos to show the difference, which I think would be massive. I’d also like to see side-by-side comparison shots of Beck’s rally vs. Obama’s Immaculation. Then take whatever the MSM said was there in 2008 and scale it accordingly.
Really surprised to see NBC reporting this halfway straight.
It was not a dumb local newscaster or writer not knowing what they were reporting on; they knew EXACTLY what they were doing. They also were repeatedly talking about Sharpton's gig while showing Beck's gathering.
Rotten bastards all of them.
I hope someone was able to get some pics of the “crowds” at “Rev.” Al’s gathering, to contrast with Glenn’s. You know, for all the kids to see in their history books.(/s)
Twits are posting pics now?
I figured with all the "what r u doing" illiteracy that would be impossible.
