Stop reading his transcripts to the radio show and find some way to see or hear the TV show. I never listen to the radio show unless I am on the road at the proper time of day because I don't care for it or to read its transcripts. I get his daily transcripts to see what he will be talking about that evening on TV. Try it sometime, you might like it.
Have YOU listened to Thom Hartmann or Ed Schultz YET?

I know the Beck rally was in a large area, but maybe you noticed the enormous pool in the middle of it. There's nobody in that pool. If the pool area was a lawn, and it too was full of people, then you'd easily have 500,000+.

I'd say Beck's crowd was in the 300,000 range. In most of the close up photos of the crowd, the crowd is spread out rather than shoulder to shoulder like is common at a concert. 300,000 is an impressive number, which anyone would have to admit regardless of political leanings.
In most of the pictures I saw at the time of Woodstock people were spread out lying around smoking and drinking ( wonder what in both cases) and sure as hell weren't like at that opening or closing so I just didn't know. Well, actually I did but they were also spread out, too.

Were you here when Woodstock took place?

Hey, any newspapers show those Galivanting Geese of God flying over...the ones spreading Beck's "message"..all over the ground...????
For some reason all of the goose crap near our city lake in the fall while hundreds of geese are feeding on crops in the area is mostly at the lake and not on the ground in town where they fly over to get to their fields. I have never been crapped on by a goose. Can't say the same thing about pigeons though.

I have been looking closer since all this crap started and there sure are lots of people standing in the shade of those trees. Of course, not one of them is as smart as you think you are, as you said.

I have done that but only once each. There is so little coming out of their mouths that I want in my ears. At least I tried them.

That sounds likely. They were certainly smoking something other than tobacco.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I can honestly say I have heard him cry, I have heard him say things that were so over the top insane that they made me laugh, and I have heard him lie through his teeth. But I have thankfully never heard him scream.

Because he is insane.

I already know that.

Why join him in his insanity by doing something over and over again and expecting a different outcome?

These are two of the most "honorable" guys in the media. They are so in the corner of the average American. Thom Hartmann has more historical knowledge than Beck could ever dream to know. Hartmann is not only brilliant, but a really nice and fair guy. Hartmann is like the anti-Beck in "honesty, integrity and values.

In aereal photos of the Woodstock audience, you can only see tiny spaces that aren't occupied by people. The entire area was very densely packed, as you can see for yourself by looking at photos taken from above, or from the stage, or from any number of vantage points.

In aereal photos of "the Beck triumph" you can see large areas of grass. The audience in some areas appears to be very dense, such as the area alongside of the pool. But in most areas the density is much lower, and that is what leads me to believe the audience is in the 300,000 range.


I was born a few years after Woodstock. Not sure what that has to do with anything.
