Ed Schultz's Delusion

Beck Rally

One Nation Rally

Now, I left the "One Nation" Rally about a half hour or so before it ended, mainly because I bored and there wasn't anyone else around. 

I honestly think that 175,000 is probably an accurate number, the problem is that many of the people that came to town, used it as a sightseeing tour.  They went to the rally briefly, but then they went around to the museums and other sights.  People were not really all that interested in what the speakers had to say.  Not that I blame them, I wasn't either. 

8/28 Crowd V. 10/2 Crowd See for yourself.

I had a few readers and facebook friends that requested that I go down to the One Nation Rally today in DC.  To be honest I really didn't want to, but decided I needed to see for myself and not depend on other people or biased news reports. 

I did get there late, maybe an hour or so.  I also took the train in instead of driving like I did with Beck.  There is no metro station close by to the Lincoln Memorial so I had a bit of a walk.  As I got closer to the memorial Trumpka was being introduced.  He told the crowd that they had arial pictures that will prove that the crowd was larger than the Beck rally. 

Now, I got to the Beck rally about 4 hours before it started and I arrived at this one about an hour late.  I sat in almost exactly the same place.
