All aboard the bus to the Beck rally!

Ya know, it's funny that CBS describes that company as "in the business of providing crowd estimates" when that function is listed no where on their website.

Not in the "who we are:"

http://www.airphotoslive.com/who_we_are.html

Nor in the "Services" section:

These guys are photographers. Period. They don;t even sell themselves as crowd estimators.

In short, CBS is full of shit.

You might want to read this blog post from one of the people hired by airphotoslive to actually do the estimates: http://stevedoig.com/archives/250

He seems like he knows what he's doing.

A MILLION! - Shens, they couldn't count a million TEETH in that crowd.

I'm not sure what the rally accomplished to be honest, other than calling out all the sheep that follow the word of Beck as creed. I'd actually be pissed if I spent hundreds of dollars traveling to this event to listen to Beck and Palin say things like "we're in a dark time but America will defeat this." I mean, I'd be sitting and questioning what *this* is? Is it Obama? Is it the Democrats? Is it Islam? Commies? I just don't get it. They coulda gone up there and recited the ABC's and the crowd woulda cheered.

I wish I was there just to poll the attendees with something like a geography or history test. Although I'm guessing I'd just be accused of being an elitist liberal fasco-socialist after I asked them to recite the first 5 presidents.

God bless America. If there is one, I really hope he comes down and saves us from ourselves.

What America hating nutjobs from on here attended?

Humorous that you think (sorry, feel) that those who want to change America beyond recognition love it whilst those who want to keep it essentially intact hate it. Logic is NOT your strong point.

Personally I don't do marches, protests, sit-ins or whatever this thing was. I don't believe I have a political activity between voting and armed rebellion, although admittedly I've never been close to the latter so perhaps if I ever do approach it I'll discover something else before I get there.

I could care less one way or another. Sarah Palin is definitely not the brightest bulb in the bunch and GB is a 'little' crazy, to say the least. But I do love how these two drive the left wingnuts even crazier. Too many leftwingnuts/rightwingnuts on this board. No one seems to see things as they are----everybody has to pick a side and that side must win at all costs.

Beck's "I have a Scheme" speech will go down in the annals of "Meh" How ever in his own mind he's becoming a Great American, hell a Great Man and the Sheep are just feeding that Self Delusion of his.

Interviews with Glenn Beck supporters. Good stuff.

Some don't believe he called Obama a racist.

He also stated that he was wrong and apologized for his comments.

You would hope his supporters knew about that. They either denied he said it or agreed with the statement that Obama was a racist.

There are lots of other little gems in there too.

Are there any moderate republicans left? Thats the republicans real problem, they just dont appeal to the majority of people.

Glenn Beck supporters head for Washington, D.C., rally

Tomorrow, the 28th of August is the 8/28 rally Glenn Beck has organized on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Busloads are coming in from all over the country. Some from as far as California.

Mr. Beck states that the rally is not political in nature, has requested that no signs be brought and says that the rally is geared towards unity and finding common ground among us all.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Boy do those words ring hollow. Who's he going to unite or find common ground with? Everyone there will be part of his and that moron Sarah Palin's brain dead minions.

Glenn Blech is just another radio personality and like all other radio personalities he's an average dimwit who just wants to make a buck.
