Who the **** cares how many people were there?
I don't. I care about the message.
It wasn't particularly memorable or historical.
Return to God.
Support the Troops.
Whoopdee****ing doo never heard that one before.
Not a bad message don't get me wrong. Just not particularly new.
Yep Glenn, in every way you "reclaimed the civil rights movement" :roll:
Agreed. I feel terrible for all those people who drove through the night to be there. Maybe they won't say it out loud, but I bet a lot of them were wishing they stayed home. I feel worse for the kids that were dragged through 2 states.
Worst of all, the regular end of the summer tourists who just wanted to see DC. Must have been hell trying to ride the metro. Good luck getting in the Smithsonian later in the day after the crowd broke up. You dump 87,000 people into the center of the city, good luck trying to get around.
Wasn't Beck complaining earlier in the summer about not getting his permit for the event? I would call him an appropriate name, but then I'd be accused of being hateful or intolerant. Someone who misleads his audience into believing an event was going to be important and meaningful, gets them to spend their time and money to be there... Then only comes up with a vague, somewhat bland message -- one that is very contrary to his stance on the Islamic Cultural Center. I see people being taken advantage of, being mislead by a TV personality... It's disturbing.
But I feel alot of it is disengenious that's all.
Still sticking to that 87,000 lie... How pathetic.
No -- I'm actually waiting for you to refute the CBS expert estimate with something more than: "I looked at these photos and..."
If you got something, let's hear it.
:waiting:
You also have to factor in all the people who would have come but for the fact that they were dead or in gestation. Also, don't forget to add in the number of people who wanted to come but didn't know it. You could probably include people from other countries in that total, because if they were Gawd-fearin' Americuns they would have been at the rally.If you're going to play numbers games, you should guess how many people weren't there, but wanted to be.
fixed
From where are you hearing these moving stories? Was it from MSNBC, NBC or CNN radio? How were these people moved? Weren't they already religious before they arrived?
No, it wasn't a Tea Party rally and it wasn't advertised as so. It was advertised as recognizing the troops, not a religious revival meeting from a man who claimed to have a vision. There are elements of religious belief in some members of the Tea Party, but definitely not all. I only know what I saw. Admittedly it was hot and not a great day to listen to speeches, particuliarly rambling ones and that may have effected the reaction. But I heard most of the speech and I did not find it all that simulating.
Dan Rather had experts too, hows his career doing again?No -- I'm actually waiting for you to refute the CBS expert estimate with something more than: "I looked at these photos and..."

There was a BUNCH of people there!
you never disappoint.
What? We're talking CBS news here. The same folks that were behind the death of Rather's career because they are so blatantly biased. And since they are the only ones pushing 5 digit appraisals of how many are there... well.
I don't think CBS is pussing anything.
When you got some new numbers from another source, pls let us know.
