Oh, Pffffft.

The rally was MASSIVE, an inescapable and apparently very painful fact. Oh, it wasn't just around the Lincoln Mem. The vast crowd went from the LM ALL THE WAY to the WM.

What silly little games the Left likes to play with counting the crowds at conservative events, and I called it too. I knew they'd try their best to minimize the number, but obviously THAT didn't work, cause we can see with our very own eyes how large the crowd was.

Oh, there is zero chance of me lifting a finger to research stuff for you.

So for the ticketed area, under any circumstance 240,000. One of the articles I read about this said Beck must have had some requirement for there to be three feet between people. It wasn't packed tight, in other words.

Here is a good article:

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/glenn-b...s-the-crowd/2/

Maximum: 215,000 people
90 percent 200,000
75 percent 163,000
50 percent 108,000
CBS News Estimate 87,000
40 percent 86,000

Oh, just feast your eyes on the video and then compare that shot of supposedly 2 million with the same shot from yesterday.

Omg, hilarious!

If that was 2 million, you can double it for the rally yesterday.

Yeah, don't believe what your own eyes show you. They were packed in there pretty good, but do yourself a favor, look at the video of obama Inaugural.

You will be shocked.
