Please explain why you are personally attacking someone.

Is it because you hate free speech when it disagrees with you?

He is an entertainer, but when he has the courage to report on issues nobody else will, all I see is cowardly people just belittle him or personally attack him instead of debate or refute his evidence.

Are all liberals this tolerant and open minded?

Exactly. Reporting what I saw. If it had been millions stretching back to the Washington Monument or Lincoln Memorial, I would have posted "wow, it was huge!"

I saw the photos from around noon from traffic cams that showed large crowds, so I was curious to go see it for myself. It's less than 10 miles away, why not?

I wish they would all march into the White House an overthrow the current administration. Dems have no guns, they're pretty defenceless.
I agree. Notice, Obama left town! That wimp. What a coward. He's still out there trying to sell the horse manure his party is pushing.

I was talking about Glenn Beck, I don't know why people listen to him.
As a self proclaimed atheist, wouldn't the rest of your post lack any basis or merit?

So does this make Beck official a cult figure? A god to his loyal followers?

Nobody with any credibility (that would rule out Michelle Malkin, for instance) is estimating either millions or hundreds of thousands. Not even close. The Fire Department estimated 60-70K. The Park Police thought 30K was generous. Best that could be claimed would be about 3% the size of the inauguration, which of course occurred on a bitter cold day with all roads into the District closed. The pictures tell the story, though. From the all-day traffic-cams and the wide-angle shots of the crowd on the west lawn, if there were actually 60-70K here, they were never all in one place at one time.

Glenn Beck claimed that the levees in New Orleans were allowed to fail to cover up ACORN corruption.

That's nutcase territory.

Complete fabrication. The Park Police don't give estimates anymore - why are you lying?
