The CBS number for Beck was of course bogus, considering others were told by the PS estimated it @ 325,000 and NBC said at least 200K.

This photo on the right;

IS THE SAME from CBS here;

Political Hotsheet - CBS News

The white columns in the foreground, the speakers/screens going through the crowd are in the same place, same size, picture of the stage IS THE SAME, based on the other structures around it, especially the large white structure on the right of the stage and you CAN indeed see the whitish columns and overhead on the stage.

However, this schematic is completely bogus;

Compared to the one in this pic;

DO notice the round structured building on the right in the CBS pic - right about where the crowd ENDS/tapers off. On the bogus schematic here;

The real relative sizes of the Stewart/Colbert's rally and Glen Beck's rally (image) via reddit.com

you will see the round structure is about halfway on the schematic, whereas the company that did the "count" has the crowd going back all the way to Hwy 1.

Completely bogus, made up garbage, but what can one expect from a liberal outfit like CBS?

It's the ying to our yang. Taking Stewart v. Colbert's characters into consideration the dueling thread is not only ironic, but downright hilarious.

Considering the rally was about restoring sanity, yeah it is pretty hilarious. How many pages comparing crowd sizes? I mean I've seen less testosterone type arguments from drunken college football players outside a strip club.

So who is peeing the highest on the fence post, anyone taking score? I see your Muhammad and raise you a blue eyed Jesus and 12 apostles. there, take that and put in your pipe!

Me too, I'm not sure if the guy even looked at his own photo. I took about ten seconds and scanned it and saw all kinds of people. These guys crack me up.

Meson claims he is, and I'm willing to accept that after checking Wiki and seeing it also says the same thing.

Metro says 825,437 Metrorail trips were taken on Saturday, compared to average Saturday ridership of about 350,000. Metro says Saturday's ridership surpassed the 1991 Desert Storm rally, when 786,358 trips were taken.

(vs 510,000 on the Glenn Beck Rally Saturday)

For September 12 2009, there were 437,624 riders. That doesn't come close to Inauguration Day's 1.12 million riders, or even the 631,000 riders for July 4.
Great information! Thanks for sharing although I'll bet a few neo-cons here will says it's bogus.

Who cares who had how many at either rally? Both had a lot of attendees. One however, was full of clowns.

Regardless, what matters is who shows up to vote on Tuesday. And from the looks of things, it wont be all the useful idiots who attend a rally held by clowns.

The two pictures above are very different..different times of day and look at how the building in one is squashed into a pinhead rather then a dome to make the total area look smaller. Another fail.

The pictures are the same, the one included with Beck's rally is just a little blurry and you CAN tell the schematic used by the CBS "estimator" is bogus, since the crowd basically stops right around that round structure on the right, whereas the schematic has the crowd going way, way, back to Hwy 1 - totally bogus and anyone with eyes can see it.

Of course, and they already are. Stewart kicked the crap out of Beck's rally not just in attendance, but intelligence and anyone with half a brain can see that.
