So far, no replies to any of the responses. I guess he’s a one-shot Barney. And a short one at that...

I switched over to CNN to see if they were covering Alveda King’s speech. They weren’t but they did show a great shot of the crowd stretching away to the Washington Monument.

You can rely on “The Drive By Media”to minimize the numbers.It it’s”The Million Man March” they would report MILLIONS.If it’s just REAL AMERICANS voicing their TRUE concerns about where this bunch of LEFTIST-RADICALS are taking their country,then it’s only a couple of hundred RACISTS!!I’ve about had enough,but where would I move to?

Think of it another way, you’ll be happier...The MSM can’t count the crowd..the same way they can’t count the coming GOP vote this November..

Running away pretty much cinches that he's a liberal troll.

Did you join FR earlier this week just to serve as a troll on this event?

From the looks of it on C-SPAN, it is NOT a real great turnout, despite excellent weather.

Whoa, man it's a little early to be drinking so much scotch.

Stop drinking and start watching.

Huh? Just got back to our hotel from there. When it started, Glenn said he was told that the reflecting pool Area holds 200k, the field to the south, 250k, the area to the north, around 150k. And beyond the reflecting pool, past the WWII memorial to the Washington monument, don’t know how many, but they were all packed very goog turnout.

Didn’t see Rev. Al, or the panthers nor even union thugs.

Wow — thanks for posting this thread! I’m glad you did it. It has exposed that even on FR there are some anti-Beck morons who still don’t get what the point of this is!

Fortunately. they are in the SMALL minority on FR, and among Conservatives.

Surprised? Oh, you must mean like surprise buttseks, which is what the Beck rally is giving every liberal in America today.
