2. 3,000 - 5,000
But the news will show a tight-angle shot and say park estimates were 30,000 - 50,000.

3. Do you want the estimate for what corporate media will say turned out?
Or the estimate for the actual number?

4. 100's of thousands
FOX will surly tell us that for weeks. Well, they will tell those who tune in to FOX. Not us of course.


:rofl:

I say less than 10,000

5. 50% will be "curious" Liberals.

And others with nothing else to do on a Saturday.

Front rows will be the rabid sign carriers and weepers.

19. What's the difference between a teabagger
and a porta potty?

















There is none, they're both full of S#!T

10. Have no clue but
because of a local rabid Beck fan I do know they (local tea potty express/patriots) say there are 11 full buses leaving from the tri-state area here, MD,PA, DE. I'm thinking they must be paying people's way and providing a free bus ride to get them there. So even if there are a lot of people there many will only be there because they got a free ticket and ride.

If you look closely, you'll see Glenn, Sarah, Michelle...

What fun! :eyes:

13. I Predict That Beck Will REPORT..............
..........that 60 Billion people showed up. Yes, I know that's about 10 times the total number of people on Earth, but do you think Idiot Boy knows that?

3,000 people will actually show, but Faux will report it as some number slightly bigger than the number of people who showed up to Obama's inauguration.

17. I'm going to say 20,000 - 25,000
Just from some googling I've done on how many buses are filled from various areas. Hope I'm high in the estimate not low.

Who knows. We have enough deluded bigoted fools in this country.

26. I suspect it will be the lowest attended "rally" with the highest
attention span of "mainstream" media. . .probably wall-to-wall coverage that the media doesn't provide events with 100k participants.

And the pundits will go on and on and on about how amazing and important it is. . .

There will be camera angles of such magnitude, we'll never understand why only 7 people showed up in DC to protest the invasion of Iraq.:shrug:

29. It looked thin
I was accidentally exposed to the fascist media while visiting my parents.
It looked like hundreds rather than thousands.
Only an aerial photograph lets us properly count bodies.
A few simultaneous low angle shots would help, but the aerial is a must.
Naturally it will be announced as millions by the fascist media.

35. If GOD was really on Glenn's side as advertised, I wonder why...
the heat and humidity were so brutal? Glenn looked kind of green around the gills. Like he was about to fall out any minute. And I kept expecting Sarah's water to break again. I believe Glenn might be a fair weather Fuhrer? Maybe it was the old scratch that was on Glenn's side? Maybe the old scratch is really who Glenn chats with?

37. I don't know
But it was pretty hot here today. I would have gone to the other rally but had an appointment.

As someone else said upthread, who'd want to stand around with a bunch of losers in that kind of weather? Earlier in the week, weather was actually kinda nice. Today, not so much. I think the Beckmeister's tears weren't so much inspired by emotion as by sweat.

41. NYT guesses 300-500K, but WaPo & even Faux web-news only say "thousands"
Edited on Sat Aug-28-10 09:53 PM by UTUSN
But the GOOD news for us Dems is that that audience was TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED in what they saw up there on the stage. The C-SPAN cameras pans of the crowd showed them all being DISAPPOINTED and bored, the tall bearded White dudes in ballcaps (their prized demographic) STARING DOWN AT THEIR FEET while all the minorities on the stage were doing their rousing things. What little arm waving there was was really embarrassing. The OLD White ones in wheelchairs and lawnchairs stared stonily ahead.
