1. So about 20,000 people.
What happened to the millions that Beck promised?

8. As Bill Maher said last night
Many of them will get confused and drive to Washington State rather than D.C.

15. Think they'd freak out if a bunch of FEMA buses surrounded them?
They'd be sure Obama was coming to take them to the camps.

It'd be sort of fun to do if there were so many nuts with guns in that group (I doubt many left their's at home)

6. We had way more than that on the 5th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq
when the protesters shut down K Street.

So which street have the wingnuts shut down?

9. CNN reports
That they are 3/4 filling whatever area they are in (I'm not that familiar with DC)

And they are experiencing more people than they expected.

10. So CNN says more than 2,000,000????
