**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?

This picture is not a snapshot- It’s time-lapse photography. It looks like a large crowd when it was only a few people moving around over a period of time. It’s actually easy to spot if you can see the blurry tree off to the upper left- The one by the Grassy Knoll!

Washington never wrote or said that. It’s a bogus quote. Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but it isn’t Washington’s.

I'll bet there was no trouble at this rally and there was not a spec of trash on the grounds when everyone left. I have been at work all day so I've seen nothing of this rally but I'm betting that the type of people at this rally are not the types to leave trash behind. And if a few people accidentally leave something behind, others will pick it up. They will leave the place cleaner that what it was when they arrived.

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.

The pics are GREAT. Unfortunately......’Auntie Beeb’ is her usual self in the captions.

Back in 1996 we at FR had a March for Justice to Impeach Clinton (hint: he was). CNN lied about our numbers, and claimed a counter-counter rally held to support Bubba was larger. Of course, it wasn’t. But that was one of the first times I saw with my own eyes what liars the media could be. And I haven’t looked back since. LOL

My goodness, did you read the captions under the pictures? Talk about media bias!
To: RushIsMyTeddyBear
The point of the pictures is to show UK readers how America is overrun with hordes of reactionary lunatics - in their minds the larger the rally the worse America is.
The American media's narrative is that only a few cranks would actually come out for such a rally.
To: EggsAckley
LOL! That was funny. I’m sure the photographer was just waiting for something goofy like that.
To: GVnana
Looks like about 4 or 5 hundred racists. /s
The rats won't know what is going to hit them in November. For every one that was there, there are a 500 in spirit!

Bingo! I lived in the UK. Jerry Springer is VERY popular over there. You can only imagine the comments I received. I was in a maternity ward after out child was born where the mother of a new mother next to me heard my accent and said to her: “Watch it love. Them Yanks are crazy and might steal your baby. You’d better check the security.”
To: truthguy
You win the bet. I only saw one trach can, it was a municipal one and was overflowing. I also say a pile of about 6-8 trash bags and sawy people picking up the couple water bottles that fell out. Besides that, zero trash.
