Muscatine

Does anybody have a reliable estimate of the crowd Beck had?   I've heard numbers anywhere from 70,000 to a half million.

The total attendance is not as important as the diversity of the crowd: blacks, hispanics, asians, etc., and the message of the rally.    To get a true count one has to count those who not only attended in person, but also those who watched the rally on c-span and on facebook.  Someone who watched it on facebook said that a typical running count was 130,000.  God only knows how many watched it on c-span.  It had to be many more than actually attended.  Did you watch it?  

But, you will only believe what you want to believe,  regardless of the source of the information....so it's kind of pointless to discuss this kind of thing with you.  I've got an idea.  Ask Al Sharpton.  I bet he has a real good idea of the Beck crowd's size!

Beck can outdraw Obama these days. I find that hilarious.   

Al Sharton has a new race designation - he is now Pea Green with envy.
