Just wondering if anyone had started one yet. I wish like hell I could go, but considering that I'm gonna be kinda busy Sunday night ( :-)), I'll have to enjoy it vicariously through some other more fortunate friends.
Like my buddy Thomas over at SondraK's place: (http://www.sondrak.com/index.php/weblog/what_so_proudly_we_hail/)
An interesting thing happened on the plaza in front of the Lincoln Memorial this afternoon at about 1:00. Amidst the preparations for Glenn Beck’s Restoring Our Honor Rally on The Mall tomorrow, the audio guys did a sound check. They played The Star Spangled Banner.
About 95% (I’d guess) stopped in place, removed their hats, and put their hands over their hearts. At the conclusion there was applause. There was something in the air. Moving.
For the DUmmy lurkers, go sniff a bus seat, you miserable little shits. :bird: :loser: :evillaugh:

I stickied some threads in the Politics forum. A couple of our members are going.

Have they said how many people they are expecting to attend?

Not sure where I'll be tomorrow. If it's early, I'll be at home.

Fox isn't going to cover it. Beck announced that two weeks ago.
-
How the hell do you broadcast live on FB? Oh well. I will watch it anyway. I have other peeps, other than CC peeps going. So cool.
So, HWC, what are YOU doing Sunday??????

Have they said how many people they are expecting to attend?
Based on the amount of people on the Restoring Honor facebook page;
126,218 People Like This
I'd say it will be quite a lot. Maybe over that number. Maybe under. I have no idea.

I can imagine--will likely involve left-coast debauchery, or some such related activity.
Have some hors d'oeuvres for me.

No hors d'oeuvre!!!! They make my booze fall out, to borrow someone else's terrific line. :-)

Don't know where to put it. Please move to appropriate place.

Media estimates 1,000 people LOL.

Watching it now on C-SPAN. I'd say that if you squared the "1,000" number, you'd be a lot closer to the actual number.

Marcus Luttrel lives less than 30 miles from me. He chased some folks through our area about a year ago because they killed his dog. We LIKE Marcus.

There might be a 1,000 people sitting from the left of the stage. But I just turned on C-Span at 11am EST. There are at least 50,000 people that I can see just from that camera angle. I'd love for an aerial view, but it's restricted air space. :(

Beck explained on his show yesterday the areas around the Lincoln Memorial and the approx. amount of the numbers of the crowd in each zone. Based on that, I'd guess about 300,000 in attendance as of 10 AM.
-
Maybe the media counted Al Sharpton's "rally"... that was probably 10, but they added some extra zero's to feel better.

The 1,000 number was cited by Beck when he came on stage this morning. It was sarcasm and a dig at the media. The camera panned the crowd after he said it.

Gotcha. What time did the rally start? I slept until 7:45am PST.

Don't know when it kicked off, but I'm watching now. Very moving.

My daughter was dancing and smiling when the two woman were up on stage singing.

The DUmmies are fully obsessed with this event. General Discussion might as well be renamed Beck Discussion. There are maybe a dozen threads on page one that are NOT about it.
-
The little woman and I just got back to our room a few minutes ago, and we're sitting here with goosebumps!!!!
As for the primitives, we're gonna forget they exist for the day. This is for America, which has always been greater than myself.
Thank you all for being here, and thank GOD I found this site!!!!

The counter at the bottom of the live stream is showing over 126,000 people viewing online alone. Don't know about those on the tube at the house.

LOL The DUmmies are trying to figure out what the rally was all about! Religion? Politics? WHAT?!
DUmmies .... it was to do a couple of things but mostly it was a FUND RAISER. You wouldn't want to know for whom the money was raised because you don't appreciate them but we do.

Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin was an announced guest. Glenn said on his radio show that he wouldn't tell us the name of a guest until the day of the rally.
I turned on the rally right around the end of Sarah's speech. Boo!

Oh. Maybe we can go to DU and find out. They know more about the Conservative movement than we do.

NY Times: (Not a direct quote)

Man o Pete. How long is it going to take, for a pictorial comparison between today, and the day of MLK's speech?

After reading all the pissed-off DUmmies today, I have to laugh at this. You know if it had been a "progressive liberal" rally, they'd still be cleaning up a week from now.

Place looked like a garbage dump.

Crowds leave cups, gloves — even flags — on Mall
By Associated Press
POSTED: 07:30 p.m. EST, Jan 20, 2009
WASHINGTON: Inaugural revelers are lucky they didn’t get fined for littering.
As crowds cleared the city today, their trash covered the National Mall and Washington Monument grounds after President Barack Obama’s inauguration.
They left behind plastic bottles, newspapers, food wrappers, gloves and even American flags they had been waving.

That's the one. Hopey changey, people!

Yep, the ones that destroy public housing, disrupt public gatherings, block the streets and highways, trash where they live, demand more free stuff and do not respect the property of others.
You know, these damn liberals should really come out of their shells and mingle with the people they so worry about.

Those so called people were lucky the cops got to them before Marcus did.

Yep, that's about right. You really can't expect more than that out of unions.

Well there's no confusion of the political affiliation of the person who misspelled that sign. He is truly a democrat MORAN. :-)

MORAN is the infamous sign that DUmmy's have attributed to uneducated conservatives.

Oh, okay. Must not be incredibly infamous as this is the first I'm hearing of it.

Primitives use moran at the DUmp all the time when referring to conservatives.
Maybe I see it more because I'm always looking for the next bestest bouncy.

Yuppers. They post that to show that we too can also misspell on occasion. It is rather funny. :-) :rotf: :tongue:

Yup. Marcus called the cops while he was chasing them, told them what had happened, told them he was chasing them and said "If I catch them before you do I'm going to kill them".
The dog was given to him to help him heal.
The guys who killed the dog tried to make it into a racial issue because they were Mexican. :whatever:
