Seriously...that's what my old wingnut college buddy wrote on Facebook (he was there, naturally...even though he's struggling financially and can't afford the trip lol).

I just love the "conservatively" part. Yup, conservatively speaking, there were millions!

lmao.

2. If you are referring to the Glen Beck rally, NBC put the number at 85,000
That is not even a third of the 300,000 Beck was expecting. :evilgrin:

3. It's not like they're good with math -
look at the hole Bush dug us into when Clinton left the office with a surplus.

4. True
They can't even figure out that equation. Maybe they have some mutant genes, or they actually are reptilian minded.

6. When I wrote back incredulously, my old buddy retorted...
"CBS News is blind (by choice) and Im not sure when or how Fox did their count, but they're way off as well"

He also wrote in a different post...

"Restoring Honor with Glenn Beck in DC was amazing!! I couldn't update because about 1.5 million people were all using the same cell tower at once and nobody had Internet!"



So it seems like it's 1.5 million people, and he's sticking to it, damn it!

9. In that case the cell tower could provide an accurate number of
attempts to access it. Why don't they ask the cell tower folks?

I know, I know.... that would be "scientific".
