$10 bucks says it was Regent University...

You'll have to forgive Glenn. Because he has lost so many advertisers lately, he has now taken to the bottle and is seeing double.

Well, if university looked at it.

A University looked at a picture, eh? The picture that was 10 years old, taken from a Promise Keepers rally:

Is Fox now so awful that Beck can make up huge whoppers and no one notices???

{Rhetorical question, of course).

Local papers around DC put the crowd at around 35,000. There was also a triathalon downtown that day. Beck was probably counting the athletes as his.

I'm supposed to trust some unnamed liberal university to count how many teabaggers showed up in Washington? Ha! Those leftist eggheads are probably sitting around debating how many teabaggers can dance on the head of pin.

My gut tells me there were at least 3 trillion people at that event. Now some liberal egghead will now doubt come along and tell me, "Well the latest United States Census Bureau estimate on the population of the entire Earth is only 6.784 billion." To which I say who are you going to trust some faceless Washington bureaucrat who wants to pull the plug on Grandma, or my gut? Case closed.

MSNBC's Davis Shuster tweeted on Saturday that he's covered many protests and rallies in Washington over the years and that the crowd only reached 3rd street. For comparision he said that the inaugral crowd was all the way bac to 17th street. I've also seen a photo of Saturday's march which they claimed went all the way back to the Washington Monument but, you can clearly see that it did not. There was nothing but, grass behind these people. I suspect that fox won't show those photos.

I'm just thrilled that they were able to track down the origins of the photo the wingers were passing aroud as ther's was actually the Promise Keepers rally. The sun was shining very bright that day but, Saturday was very dark and clowdy. I think it may have even drizzled a few times. Nice try losers. 6 months of plugging this event on fox news and they barely reached 50-60,000? The best part about this is that it shows fox news that while they reach a lot of these loons, they still can't motivate even 100,000 people after 6 months. Take a good look fox! This is how the elections will play out. Your side screams like idiots in tiny protest and our side comes out, wins elections and smacks down these cooks....AGAIN!

Is it just me or does "Fox and Friends" sound like the name of a children's show for the spawn of the right wing fringe?

I say about 340 million people...

I must of been there, I just can't recall. In fact EVERY US citizen was tea bagging on sat.

What's sad is they just repeat blatant LIES... with a straight face. That's part of the stradegy.

It was probably Denial State U

Re: headline saying that Beck was channeling Sagan

Sagan was looking for signs of intelligent life among the billions upon billions of celestial bodies; Beck is looking for signs of intelligent life, too, among the "1.7 million" not-so-celestial bodies.

Obviously Beck is exaggerating but the fact remains that th 29%ers are fully mobilized, which is a lot better than we can say about progressives (IMHO).

Obviously, the fact that Beck, FreedomSucks, etc. are spinning this so hard with the Beltway media shows that they understand what a bust the whole event was.

The DC police and fire department may not be willing to count heads, and CNN and the New York Times may not know how, but I can assure you that every Congresscritter on the Hill is quite good at it.

60,000 at the polls is not 1.7 million. It's getting your ass stomped. Again.

Ah yes, university, my old alma mater. I have nothing but fond memories of university: hanging out on quad, pledging fraternity, and watching football team play rival football team at stadium.

It was hard to estimate DC Tea Party crowd size with so many walker-wielding Medicare recipients protesting government healthcare.
