Much more so than anything Glenn Beck could throw together.

It shows more than anything the Tea Party rhetoric only appeals to a limited group of Americans.

The comparison photo shows exactly what was amazing me during the rally. You can see how the crowd stretched really far back in the streets. It was nuts!

Uh, I guess some of you don't realize Stewart was spoofing you?

Stewart "lampooned extreme conservatives and extreme liberals who thrive in the 24/7 cable news freak show."

Nonononono. That's not the real comparison. The real comparison is

Gateway Pundit: Beck crowd versus Stewart crowd photo comparison (http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/10/beck-crowd-versus-stewart-crowd-photo-comparison/ - broken link)

And remember folks, because gateway pundit does: "At least 500,000 showed up at Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally."

My sister was there, she said most of the time toward the northwest side of the center. She loved the wave too - goosebumps when it was sent back
