Question: Is the March on Washington this weekend SMALLER than Glenn Beck's Rally?
8/24/13

Posted on 08/24/2013 6:56:08 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Asking for opinions here....I have seen video from a satellite dish of the anniversary rally in DC...Al Charlatan and Jesse Jagmo are heading up what purports to be a time of commemoration of MLK's "I have a dream" speech.....

Anyway, the thing kicks off today, and I am looking at a live pic of the mall in front of the Lincoln Memorial....and folks, it doesn't even look half full.

I AM ONLY SEEING ONE ANGLE, so I may be wrong, but from that viewpoint it looks like the 9/12 rally of Tea Partiers WAS MUCH BIGGER than this crowd of "gimme more" whiners.

Which one??? If you're talking about the Clown in Chief, I've heard he will be speaking in front of the Lincoln Memorial on 8/28. Should be historically nauseating...

Are they addressing the issues concerning black violent crime? Seems to be the elephant in the room.

More like how America is still a racist nation and nothing has changed since MLK’s march on DC fifty years ago. Do you think people like Sharpton and Jackson are going to say anything different? Race baiting and racial division is their bread and butter.

Surely, you did not think that one through.
I think you meant DONKEY in the room.

I could march in support of Dr. King’s I’ve got a Dream Speech. This gathering in Washington has nothing to do with the substance of that speech. This march is about social justice and economic parity. Retribution and revenge for real and imaginary wrongs inflicted on Africans living in America for the last 400 some odd years.

Slavery and particularly slavery tied to race as well as the Jim Crow laws designed to suppress a race are things of the past. However, in order to live free, you have to work for it. Race baiters, hip hop culture and the welfare state are keeping racial inequities today. To be helped, you must first help yourselves. It ain’t social justice but it’s true. No matter how much other people’s money is pumped into the ‘hood, the killings will continue without moral reform from within.

I was at Glenn's 8/28 rally. The crowd was huge, easily over 600,000. The event was well coordinated, e.g., there was water and porta potties. When the crowd left, the mall was left cleaner than before the rally.

I am positive that these vile socialist scum will trash the place. That is the difference between makers and takers. That is the difference between the personally responsible and those dependent on government to provide everything in their lives.

Glenn's 8/28 rally was indeed well planned:

I'm pretty sure that at least one LSM used crowd photos from Beck's rally to propagandize another gathering, much smaller and weaker than Beck's, but favored by useful idiots.

Can't remember if it was a Jackson/Sharpton whinery, or the Colbert anti-Beck thing.

i took the metro from Rockville, MD ... early in the morning. I think it is the second stop from the end of the line. The train was packed. After another stop, no one could get onto the train. Each station we passed was filled with people. I have to think that many were not able to get to the mall that day.

Race relations are at an all time low as far as I can see. There’s really not much worth celebrating, is there?

The LSM will report a crowd of 10,000,000, and compare it to the small gathering of a few hundred racists, haters, and gun nuts who showed up at Beck’s rally. Goebbels would be proud.
