A Glenn Beck Rally thread, perhaps???
« on: August 27, 2010, 05:55:49 PM »
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:

Quote
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:

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.

Based on the amount of people on the Restoring Honor facebook page;

Quote
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.

That is a flawlessly classic line.  One of those I keep in my pocket for the right moment.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

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.
