Racists, homophobes, and bigots turn out in DC

Glenn Beck comments on the crowd estimates
Quote:"Hello, America. I have just gotten word from the media that there is over a thousand people here today," Beck said, with a hint of sarcasm. He later said he had heard the crowd was between 300,000 and 500,000, "and if that's coming from the media, God only knows."
Rest assured that when the Sunday Morning Talking head shows come on there will be nary a mention of this anti-Obama throng of humanity.

Did Beck's 500,00 include or subtract the media covering his event?

I have no objection to the event, but comparing Beck to MLK's speech is too much.

Looks like CBS was right, that does look like about 87K.

Pretty much. One man is fighting for equality amongst men and civil rights and the other is a meglomaniac sociopath claiming to return America back to God. Scary.
I would say there was probably 100-150k at the rally from the photos.
