Personally, I wish Beck and Palin would take their mindless followers and establish their own little theocracy in some other country and leave the U.S. to real, thinking Americans who understand morality and religion have NOTHING to do with each other.
I don't think you can have morality without religion, but then I was really excited today at the effect Beck was having on that crowd.
How many people do you think were there? Why were they there?
Officials do not make crowd estimates because they are unreliable and can be controversial, but event organizers put the number of attendees at 500,000; NBC News said it was closer to 300,000, but by any measure it was a large turnout. The crowd stretched from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument.
Big surprise that the event organizers estimated 500,000 LOL! How did NBC arrive at their number?
its a political rally period regardless if they arent talking about politics
Ahh no.. wrong as always. Individuals are allowed to gather and exercise their first amendment rights.. And this includes public figures. No one is stopping the left from attending.. Thats your choice.. Dont blame the right because the left is unwilling to take a position and oppose big government.. I guess when you need big government, you would be crazy to oppose it right?

I would guess they arrived at it like I did - compare photos of previous events that had a documented number of attendees and voilĂ ! A number nowhere near the CBS head count.
Why? Are you referring to traffic? People do live in Washington.
So your ignoring the fact that Washington as pretty much closed this week because politicians are all out of town, as a justification for "traffic" on the very day there is a protest rally.. haha.. oooh the humor

and please what does supporting our troops have to do with MLK jr not a damn thing
Yeah, 300K, 500K, why those numbers are small.. With numbers that small, why are we even discussing the protest that didnt take place right? I mean if it was such a failure, then someone needs to tell me why it was on every tv channel...
