Estimates Vary Of Glenn Beck Rally Attendance
indyposted.com ^ | 8/29/2010 | Rudi Stettner



Estimating attendance at political rallies and demonstrations is a notoriously imprecise science. Glenn Beck’s “Restore America” rally at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial has been variously estimated from 87,000 by the Huffington Post, 300,000 by NBC News and the New York Times and 500,000 by rally organizers. Sky News concurred with rally organizers in estimating attendance at 500,000.

A counter rally led by Al Sharpton was estimated to have drawn several hundred people.

I even heard reports talking about "the controversial protest" I wouldn't call it being controversial if you want to restore America. But then I am not a socialist that wants to CHANGE America into something in direct contradiction to what it was founded on.

National Mall Spotless After 300K Strong Glenn Beck Rally…

Compare that to the supposed Mother Earth-loving libs, who left behind 100 tons of trash after Obama’s inauguration

we waited awhile after the event for the crowd to clear so we could leave,

there was one bottle that was discarded by a guy with spiked hair, and a gum wrapper.. was because a person walking behind them picked it up an left it at a trash bin..

the bins were overflowing... all ten of them.. yep.. that's all, we counted five on our side.. so we doubled the number... Confused

the parking areas were all closed off... buses were not allowed to drop off anywhere near the event,..

and the park police had at least thirty horses in trailers,.. in 90 degree heat..


agitators with vulgar signs walked thru and threw insults .. Must have been Angusbored with his sidekick shamapooie, over all they were mostly just ignored... (kinda like on here)

but other then a few folk who passed out from the heat.. I did not see any trouble...

as for the count???


many in the crowd sat under the trees or on the lawns outside of this picture...

this only shows the power of mass media not beck.

Someone once said, “When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” Though Beck talks of God and stopping injustice, he advocates the hazardous and bloody neocon foreign policies that have killed countless innocents, made America more hated around the world, and further weakened our national security. Indeed, Glenn Beck’s establishment backed rise as a “patriot leader” is simply plan B for shepherding the patriot movement back to the fake left/right machine, and channeling public outrage at Obama’s actions as President into a form that can be manipulated and controlled…the same way Obama did for liberals who opposed the actions of George W. Bush.

Manipulating the people of a country that have been the victims of psyops over and over again, and who are looking for leaders to believe in, is not only self-serving, but mean. Because Beck has the showmanship and organizational backing to pull off his deception he has decided to take his thirty pieces of silver and proudly display them as “Godly”.

Some are falling for it. Many others are not.

The only accidentally true statement Glenn Beck uttered during his speech at the rally is something he said when talking about World War 2 and the memorial in DC– “You cannot coexist with evil”.
