Speaking of Sarah, I hope someone got a pic of her wiping away tears as she sang along to Amazing Grace. I absolutely bawled.

"sharing the turnout" - ahahahahaha

Sharpton rally is reported to have 2-3,000 (which is probably a stretch - and with their pre-printed signs and bussed in Union goons to boot.

I don't foresee many more rallies from the left. RAther embarrassing

Yeah, that’s what I figured. leave it to the NYT and media in general to lie about it. I’m hoping to see some photos/video of the Sharpton rally to put it all in perspective. That would be great.

Hey now. At least some of your press is better than ours when it comes to Sarah!

“I would expect those outlets to describe the attendees as crazed, right-wing, hateful, extremist, puppy kickers....many of whom might very well have been armed with...GUNS!!!”

There. Fixed it;))

That’s the one that seemed enormous to me. The denseness of the crowd that day generated so much body heat the air was wavy in the long shots.

I guess that’s 10’s of thousands of people attending. Of course if this were a progressive approved event it’d be 100’s of thousands at a minimum and more like 500k to 1 mil.

I wonder how clean the people left the mall? Bet it was the cleanest the mall’s been after a demonstration of this size or even one 1/2 it’s size.

That’s an awesome pic. Maybe someone can snag a screencap of Sarah crying when they post the replay.

True. Even the Daliy Mail redeemed itself temporarily this week :-)

That’s my hope, also. C-SPAN will replay the entire event tonight. If someone will watch that know how to capture the screen shot. I have TIVO - I could stop the and rewinde to take the pic, but I don’t have the camera.

I can go along with that estimate. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to be accurate in totals given the ebb and flow of the crowd.

They didn't have a camera on the Washington Monument. But I thought the C-SPAN coverage was darned good. It made you feel like you were there ... not perfect, but that's what made it seem so real. I thought it was a job well done.

But the job well done award goes to Glenn Beck. There isn't a category for him .. not a politician, not a preacher ... what? Teacher? Caring Person? Whatever ... he was terrific.
