3. Sorry, it's not CSI. Only thing we can do is show you those dots, and blow up those dots to make
them even uglier and fatter.

And more white.

4. NBC this morning said "over 200K" at ours...
Edited on Sun Oct-31-10 07:36 AM by Crystal Clarity
and compared it to Beck's 87K. It was just a very brief mention but I was shocked that they said anything at all... let alone the Beck comparison! :wow:

5. Lots of green space showing at Beck's rally. You couldn't even move at Stewart's
It was find a spot a stand for three hours, cuz you weren't movin'. No freaking way Beck had even half the crowd.

7. Really....what's the point??
have you ever won in an argument with a teabagger? Of course not.

Now you're arguing "crowd size"? Come on, I've got to believe you have something you'd more like to be doing than arguing about a mute point with a teabagger.

12. No, it's "mute point"
You know, where the outcome of the argument would be the same even if you're arguing at full volume or no volume. When arguing with a teabagger you might as well just stay mute cause they're never going to get it. :)

14. Good story on CBS
An estimated 215,000 people attended a rally organized by Comedy Central talk show hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert Saturday in Washington, according to a crowd estimate commissioned by CBS News.

The company AirPhotosLive.com based the attendance at the "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" on aerial pictures it took over the rally, which took place on the Mall in Washington. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 10 percent.

CBS News also commissioned AirPhotosLive.com to do a crowd estimate of Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally in August. That rally was estimated to have attracted 87,000 people. Amid criticism from conservatives that the estimate was low, CBS News detailed the methodology behind it here. <snip>
