How is Beck a neocon? Do you even know what that means?
BDBoop?...........

I find it amusing also that hazlnut chose the smallest number he could find. He doesn't seem to listen to me, but I have said it several times.....
NBC NEWS said it was 300,000.

Officials do not make crowd estimates because they are unreliable and can be controversial, but event organizers put the number of attendees at 500,000; NBC News said it was closer to 300,000, but by any measure it was a large turnout. The crowd stretched from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument.
That was yesterday. I'm pretty sure NBC was referring to the permit.
No, dear. Anyone with half a brain can look at the aerial picture and tell you that it's more than a measley 87,000.
Criticizing me for "disappearing" from the thread, assumes the thread topic and direction has value.
You assume too much.
guess you've never been to dc.
Look, the numbers will come in and we'll split the difference. But no one is standing behind 300k.
I "assume" nothing. I watch you do it over and over and over. With me, and anyone else who presents you with reasoned arguments you can't refute or questions you can't answer. And the 912 rally figures thread is an excellent example, entirely germane to this. :shrug: You did the exact same thing then, too.
lol!
NBC news
And, no, they didn't say that was what the permit says. It says NBC estimated the crowd at almost 300,000. You distrust NBC?
Show me, Mellie, I just search the NBC site and gave you a link.
Show me where NBC news said that.
Reasoned Arguments -- again, a (possibly) false assumption.
Jeez! You've been holding on to that 9-12 deal for a long time -- almost a year.
Let it go, bud. It wasn't personal.
Tell you what, whatever number you came up with is good enough for me. 6 Million-Billion Patriots!! Feel better?
You calling the New York Times liars?
It's a reasoned argument or it isn't; there's no opinion involved, nor any assumption.
I haven't held on to anything; it's merely an apples-to-apples comparison.
And, here you continue with deflection. Has nothing to do with anything.
And that's about as childish a response as I would expect.
Anyway, as I said, you're clinging to the lowest possible number you can find, a number supplied by a single source, and dismissing any other number given by anyone else (even going so far as to say the NYT "misquoted"). Not sure what else I need to illustrate the point; you're proving it beyond a doubt for me.
Which is a very large crowd. Why people would argue over something like the exact size of the crowd makes no sense to me. It was an impressively large crowd, and I don't think any one is going to deny that, so why get bogged down in anything more?
You're right. No sense in arguing about it.
Of course, dear. The assumption is that you actually made a reasoned argument. There is attempt. There is fail/succeed. And, sometimes, there is delusion.
That fact that you held on to something that happened almost a year ago... well, I guess I should be flattered.
Advice: Don't let me have free rent in your head.
No deflection. Just friendly advice. Don't carry stuff like that around for a year. It's not healthy.
Listen, if my blowing you off a year ago really bothered you, I'm sorry. I'm trying to tell you, name a number and it's good for me.
Not clinging to anything.
Just posting the first and SECOND reasonable numbers I came across.
When you're ready to break it down and do your analysis, let me know, and I promise I won't blow you off.

I am always right. Remember that! :2razz:
Glenn Beck Restoring Honor Rally Attendance Estimated At 78,000 – 96,000
What's funny is that you obviously can't find any legitimate source to back up the 300,000 ++ that's been floating around DP.
Hey, it was a good turnout. However, based on what I've read, if I had traveled even from Baltimore to see that event, I'd been real pissed.
At least at the old Teabagger rallies you had some interesting and funny signs to look at... 'Return to Signage' should be the theme of the next one.
I feel sorry for the parents that drove with their kids through the night to be there. I feel more sorry for their kids.
Still not sure what they restored or honored or even were about... Having America pray to Jesus-God for...return??
It's something the kids will be telling their kids about someday.
