Beck/Palin Rally Update: As of right now, there aren't many people there

Posted by MDH (aka Mdh) Aug 28 '10, 09:11

I went for a run, and hung around down by the mall.

The number is actually a surprise, because I figured a lot more people would show. granted it is still early so they might be on the way.

Lots of racist/ignorant signs, think Obama/Mosque affiliations with Hitler, Terrorists, 9/11. Lots of t-shirts saying how they are a "True American." plenty of these are being worn by indoctrinated little kids, sigh.

There is now a 3rd protest occurring outside of Planned Parenthood. A bunch of anti abortion people are there with signs and holding a prayer vigil. I accidentally kind of ran through this (I thought it was a tour group waiting for cabs from far away, and I got some looks).

90% of license plates I saw (no exaggeration) were Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana, and Colorado.

I am glad we finished our 200-mile bike tour last month (we ended at the Lincoln Memorial) -- nm - landbeck Aug 28, 09:20 2
- This sounds liks fun actually, where all did you go? -- nm - MDH Aug 28, 09:25 1
  - It was awesome. We started in Cumberland Maryland and rode down the C&O Canal tow-path. - landbeck Aug 28, 09:44
Estimates are about 300K. -- nm - nubby Aug 28, 09:20 7
- HAHAHAHAHA. There might be 45K at most when I was there (an hour ago). -- nm - MDH Aug 28, 09:24 6
  - Fox News says 100K... so your number sounds reasonable -- nm - stewie Aug 28, 09:49 5
    - the rule of thumb is that the Park Service always underestimates, and the organizers always overestimate. -- nm - loosilu Aug 28, 09:51 4
      - Park Service doesn't do official estimates anymore, but NBC talked to an "official" at the top of the monument who said 300-325K. -- nm - nubby Aug 28, 09:57 3
        
        what kind of official? -- nm - loosilu Aug 28, 10:55 1
        
        an. (you know as much as i do now) -- nm - nubby Aug 28, 11:11
        
        as if numbers turn lunacy into truth. -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 09:59
Btw, like this wasn't obvious. I have never seen such little diversity of a group of people on the mall. -- nm - MDH Aug 28, 09:16 3
- And I'm sure these same people would have no issue with a group of black people being on the mall with racist/ignorant signs... -- nm - stewie Aug 28, 09:29 2
  - Al Sharpton's rally is pretty much nonexistant at this point, and they didn't have signs. -- nm - MDH Aug 28, 09:33 1
    - *roots for the terrorists* -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 28, 09:36
huh, now I'm actually curious. -- nm - loosilu Aug 28, 09:16
