No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Caption under the picture of the fellows dressed like Mezzicans.

Young men walk along the National Mall in panchos and sombreros shouting, 'If you think this is funny then you won't be laughing when we take your jobs!'

Will the media mention that it's a crowd of "mostly white people" ?  The crowd shots are very telling  :-)

I'm watching on C-Span.  Very interesting.  They are showing almost no long shots of the crowd looking back.  All the shots are of the stage performers (lots of empty green grass behind the stage) or tight, angled shots of the crowd.   There appears to be a lot of empty grass on the sides.  

They have also placed big top tents right in the middle of the crowd to obscure the few partial long view shots that occur by accident.  

They have obviously learned some things about managing impressions since the last rally.

Why are the DU people going to the rally? I thought it was supposed to be a Moderates rally?

I'm watching it on Comedy Central, very tight shots indeed.  I'm quite bored, for a rally this opening band is putting me asleep.

You beat me to it. I was about to point that lil factoid out to our lurkers. It doesn't matter how big the crowd is because it's a real comedy show not a real political rally. This is no more reality than the Onion or it's news network stories are.

The DUmmies will never believe it though because it's geared specifically to their level of stupidity.

They couldn't have stunk any worse than the crowd.

The DUmmies are crowing that they have more people than Beck did.
Even after Huffington and Oprah bussed in people it still is smaller than Beck's rally.

Interesting.

I just did a google image search for restore sanity rally crowd and in amongst the 15 pages of garbage I looked through I got back maybe a half dozen close up crowd shots along with a like amount of the 8/28 crowd shots.

None from the Washington Monument were taken today I guess????

Good luck.

Apparently the sponsors didn't want any aerial photographs taken, because turnout was less than they had boasted, and aerial photographs would show that.

The organizers are alleging circa 250,000.

Independent sources are alleging circa 100-150,000.

I dunno why the Dems, liberals, and primitives want to keep it a secret.

But at any rate, smaller than Glen Beck's rally last August.
