Here are a few pictures posted by folks over at the Daily Kos of Glenn Beck’s “I Have A Scheme” Rally.
Here’s a shot of the crowd on the Washington Mall. CBS reported that the crowd was approximately 87,000 in size (plus or minus 9,000, according to their crowd estimate methodology).
An estimated 87,000 attended. The wingnuts will probably claim a zillion people attended (as we've seen, math isn't right-winger's strong point).
When Barack Obama gave his acceptance speech before a similar number of people in Denver in August 2008, Beck commented that it reminded him of something that would have taken place in Nuremburg (old Glenn is obsessed with Nazi analogies). Using what passes for Beck’s logic, how should we characterize his rally?
There was lots of empty rhetoric at the rally praising Martin Luther King Jr. Not surprisingly, not every wingnut got the message to pretend to admire King.
The sign reads "The Bold Truth MLK Was Pro Communist." Well, at least he spelled it correctly.
Much of the rhetoric at the rally was devoted to praising and honoring the military. Apparently, that means to the wingnuts in attendance using the World War Two Memorial’s fountain as a wadding pool and the monuments as bleacher stands.
No commentary is necessary here.
Or here, either.
