Merged Rally to Restore Sanity

Anyone seen any crowd estimates? I've seen 'tens of thousands'. You can't tell a lot from the broadcast.

BTW: Anyone notice the 'chemtrails'?
 
I'm streaming the Rally for about an hour or so now ...

Seriously, what the ****? :confused:
 
Oh wait, Stewart is giving an explanation right now - about what the Rally is all about...

Glenn Beck's site, theblaze.com, has an estimate of 150,000.

Hopefully, the Daily Show's estimate will be "who cares".

Signs from the rally:

"drink tea, don't think tea."

"tea parties are for little girls."

"I support reasonable conclusions based on supported facts."

"civil is sexy."

"I'm for the separation of church and hate."

"Guacamole" (followed by a recipe for guacamole.)

"Teabaggers leave a bad taste in my mouth."

"This sign mocks extremists in a witty and humorous manner."

"I fought Nazis and they don't look like Obama."


"Marry me, Colbert."

"Signs are an impractical medium for civil discourse."


"Everyone Poops"

"Matt Damon."

"Birthers for Hawaii statehood."

"Jews against frivolous Hitler comparisons."

"Somewhat irritated about extreme outrage."

"stark raving reasonable."

"I need tickets."



"Big Signs are for Bullies."
 
Was there for a little while, but couldn't get a good view of the jumbotrons (I have NEVER seen so many people in one place), so headed over to the American Museum of Art for the Norman Rockwell exhibition. A fitting juxtaposition, I think.

an article from, IIRC, CTV News (canadian) put forward the number 250,000.

TAM:)
 
It certainly looked big, but shots across a crowd can be deceptive. It looked bigger than the obvious recent comparison, but it also didn't have the reflecting pool to dear with.

Beck COULD handle this gracefully. Something like:

"Jon Stewart is our modern day Samuel Clemens. It looks like his gathering was a lot of fun, and we could all use more sanity in these times. Now, lets look at the real state of the country..."

I'm guessing he won't go that route.

But I think we all know that we'll hear about another conspiracy theory from him.
