rollingrock; Out of all the beckerheads who post on this board, I get the biggest kick out of you because no matter how many facts get in your way....your default excuse is that you know better than all the stats and evidence put together, which continually proves you wrong.

I was there. It was 500,000 +... That's
a fact.


According to CBS News, the count of people at the Lincoln Memorial today was 87,000. They cite AirPhotosLive.com in saying that there is a margin of error of 9,000, so 96,000 could have shown up. The rally permit was for a crowd of 300,000, so there was some room for people to move around in.

Then there's always this one which is a classic. Although the WHO shows that the US ranks 37th in healthcare outcomes...you say that because you work in a hospital that simply can not be true.

If you think there was 1/2 a million what would you thing these crowds were for Obama's ignauguraton







Now look at how close those patriotic people were compared to your sparse gathering. Heck during the summer about 40,000 people visit that mall every Saturday.

Oh and can you please find one intelligent person that was interviewed during that gathering as all I can see are ignorant little people.

"It was 500,000+" - Of course it was just as Glenn Beck really, really did perform a "miracle" as he promised, you just don't know what it was.

Sanity Rally Attendance OBLITERATES Glenn Beck Turnout..



Rally To Restore Sanity Attendance Estimated In Hundreds Of Thousands

The Rally to Restore Sanity has come to a close, and crowd estimates are beginning to trickle in. It is clear that a huge number of people attended the event (see photos from the rally here), but the calculations vary among sources.

According to CBS News, 215,000 people showed up for the rally on Saturday. By comparison, CBS estimated that 87,000 -- just 40% of the Sanity Rally estimation -- attended Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally in August.

Canada's CTV, meanwhile, wrote that 250,000 people were estimated to have partaken in the Rally to Restore Sanity.

Earlier on Saturday, Brian Stelter tweeted that the Parks Service approximated that "well over 200,000" attended Saturday's rally.

For full coverage of the rally, check out HuffPost's comprehensive live blog of the event, including videos, photos and more.

I bet the beckerhead rally wasn't anywhere near this festive. Nothing like seeing young, happy faces instead of old, crazed white people. Liberals just do it better!!!
