Glenn Beck claims a minimum of 500,000 or 450,000 depending on your source.
80,000 seems to be the correct number via 'private company review' and people I know that went to the rally.
At least we know Republican saviors lie too.

Lets go conservatively.

Re: Beck Rally
Beck is not a "republican" and the rally was not political....and you seem to be the only one who cares about how many folks showed up....scary ain't it.....?

I know several people who went. They admitted they didn't count the crowd.Hawklore wrote: and people I know that went to the rally.
Re: Beck Rally
The count was similar to the "million man march" but with 1% of the trash left behind.
And 1% of the police required to keep the peace!

My fave quote: "A self-described "disenchanted former Republican," he said he was miffed at both parties. "I say we just vote them all out,"
