1. Joe Madison

[cal04]

:hi:

18. Freepers are saying that C span is using shots from the Beck rally and using them for the One Nation

rally.

I hope all networks set them right

[old mark]

24. All networks are not covering it. It is only on Cspan and FSTV - MSNBC stopped coverage

at 3PM, and no one else seems to be covring it right now...network news programming is off ti,, 7PM due to sports, CNN has sporadic coverage, HLN has none at all that I have seen. Our local papers never heard of it.
Guess whose side they are on!

[Tesha]

19. At *OUR* rally, *ANYONE* can use the bathrooms and the water's free!

A hydrated crowd is a happy crowd!

26. Only those who purchased Patriot Tokens purchased through Goldline. nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. They were plentiful and accessible.

It was a true progressive event.

[cleanhippie]

5. I'm watching on MSNBC, it does not look THAT crowded.

Maybe its the camera perspective, but it does not seem to be jam-packed. Is there another place to better see the crowd?

[spanone]

12. the current shot on m$nbc is pretty impressive

[cleanhippie]

13. I will turn it back on, thanks.

[G_j]

20. now back to true crime programming

while the rally is still in progress

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. OMG it was huge

I've been to several big events in DC and this was huge. Too crowded to walk. Long lines for food. Just people everywhere. Both sides of the pool were packed all the way back to the WWII Memorial. And there were people on the other side of it in front of the Wash Memorial.

At one point we decided to walk around the pool. Big mistake. But we saw lots of neat signs and the people watching was fantastic.

[cleanhippie]

35. Cool. Thanks for the onsite updates.

[seabeyond]

6. wow. with so little hype like beck. not seeing it all over cnn like beck....

conservative press...

[stray cat]

11. Maybe we're not as special or as large a group as we like to think

[seabeyond]

31. this rally was bigger than teabaggers. they get the month long advert and all day press

we dont

and you conclude we are not as special or as big as we may like to think?

what kind of sense does that make?

[Hannah Bell]

38. lol. your use of "we"

[cilla4progress]

7. Just heard

quarter of a million people? On Sirius...Michael Signorelli?!! Goddess, let it BE!!!

[Emit]

10. found one twit pic here

[jimlup]

16. Good grief I should hope so!

[TexasObserver]

21. recommend

[lovemyblackberry]

22. is there a pic anywhere yet?

[lovemyblackberry]

23. well there better be

With huffpo and the unions bringing people in.

Beckkk is pissed he didn't have this many organizations bringing people in.

[arcane1]

25. Umm...

HuffPo is bringing people to Jon Stewart's rally. And if you think Beck's rally didn't have organized busing and hotel deals, you may wish to do some research.

Not to mention the fact that his rally was advertised for months on ALL cable news channels.

:eyes:

[lovemyblackberry]

27. sorry, my bad. :(

- huffpo

[TuxedoKat]

30. I also heard

on Big Ed's show that he scheduled it on a weekend when there were some conservative conventions in town. That and there were probably more tourists in DC in late August.

[proud2BlibKansan]

33. Beck has the Kochs

Nuff said.

[seabeyond]

34. beck had fox news advertising for him for three months, other networks a month

they had corporate and palin teabaggers bussing them in

hoff is doing the stewart rally

info is good. education is good.

[lovemyblackberry]

42. what is your execuse for?

I know some of our great unions bussed people in.

[seabeyond]

43. excuse? no need. palin and beck bussed too. so what. 3 months of fox advert

a month of other network advert alone made awareness way up there and still there were more at this rally.

87K beck
150K one nation

kicked beck's ass

[lovemyblackberry]

44. while our rally had meaning, from the photos I've seen, we didn't have as much.

That's just me though.

[seabeyond]

45. since the number 87k beck rally came from same sourse 150k one nation rally

i am going to have to ask you to prove it.

if you are going off the pictures on cnn, that is BEFORE the rally began. no one put up pictures of the rally at the height. so

where do you get the info that beck rally bigger than one nation.

the only source i have seen has it the other way around

[karnac]

36. side by side comparison

this is an actual one nation pic. it came from a huffington post slide show.

?1286086235013

keep in mind, i have NO clue when in the day it was taken. my understanding is that people started leaving before all the speeches were over. also if you notice it is extremely dense near the actual memorial..


this is a glen beck rally pic i found using google. can i vouch for it? no, but it looks like all the others i found.



again, not a clue when in the day it was taken.

the pic in front of the one nation website looks like an old BW i-have-a-dream pic. don't think they were trying to decive anyone because it is appropriate.


the huffpost full slide show is actually pretty cool. here it is.

37. here's the side-by-side on that:

[lovemyblackberry]

39. that doesn't look too good...

[Hannah Bell]

40. depends....i have no idea when the first photo was taken, but know the second was taken

at the peak of the beck rally, around noon.

i also notice the front of the 'working together' rally is way more crowded than the beck rally. the crowd there would easily fill the blanks along the reflecting pool.

the only thing that looks much different to me is the side portion.

[lovemyblackberry]

41. that side portion is big.. :(
