eff that!
Keep the fear alive!
Liar. I picked a random number out of your butt and got 42.
You owe me royalties now. I demand payment in tacos!
You are correct, exaggerating attendance didn't start or end with Mr. Beck. Are you happy now?
However, I think those on right are more apt to exaggerate than those on the left.
Team Truthiness (ColbertRally.com) is looking into the idea of planning an “Unofficial Official Rally After Party/bar night” for the rally weekend. Our idea is to find businesses that would be willing to donate a portion of their proceeds for the night in exchange for rally supporter patronage and promotion. Plus its for two great causes: Classrooms across America, and Rally support, fun and frivality! Have any bars/restaurants in mind that would be convenient and a great place for rally goers? Also, it would be great if the owners/managers of these places weren’t jerks. We don’t like working with jerks.
Tacos? Youre racist!!! oke
Seriously though I say over 20 million will show up :thumbs:
The rally is coming up this next weekend, so i thought I'd revive the thread. Vote if you haven't yet!
They do have many high-profile people involved. Of course, the One Nation rally had tons of organizations involved and it bombed.
If I may make a in-depth and highly intellectual comment on this....
Who gives a ****?

Why only 1 bill? Go for, perhaps, 6.88 Billion, just for the hell of it.My guess is 75-100k. But, I really have no freakin idea. I'm basing that number on the entertainment factor alone. These are two very popular comedians with benefits. I'm guessing the number they use will be somewhere in the one billion range though just to be cheeky toward the whole "let's inflate the actual attendance crowd" that has gained a lot of popularity lately. :lol:
Actually, must like the Beck rally, the numbers are varying a fair bit. Similar to the Beck rally, it'll likely take a few days for the various groups to put out their numbers to best figure out a reasonable and realistic number on it.
Much like I wouldn't immediately trust a WND of Beck's I wouldn't trust a DailyKOS of Stewarts
What about CBS then? :shrug:
Jon Stewart Rally Attracts Estimated 215,000 - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
The Park District unofficialy set the Restoring Honor Rally attendance at 300,000. They estimated the Restoring Sanity attendance at 200,000. Weird how an organization hired by CNN called Beck's at 87,000 and Stewart's at 215,000. HI-larious.
Oh Good Lord. /facepalm
