Joe:
 However, a firm hired by CBS News to estimate 
 the crowd put attendees at between 78,000 and 
 96,000...

Since the last time we made an estimate, my 
own technology has improved. Using Google Earth, 
I constructed a polygon that covers the apparent 
area of the crowd, and another that takes in 
just the reflecting pool...

 Re: Glenn Buck

 BTW, you and your left leaning friends need to know that little
boilerplate rant
 of your won't be tolerated anymore. You see when you can't articulate
an
 argument you fall into the SIX HIRB, what is that? Well glad you
asked, when in
 doubt and you simply want to shut down an argument here is what
happens:

 Your personal attack goes something like this, label the following,
choose your
 weapon:


 S-Label as Sexist
 I-Label is Intolerant
 X-label as Xenophobic

 H-Label as Homophobic
 I-Label as Islamophobic
 R-Label as Racist
 B-Label as Bigot

 It's easy to remember SIX HIRB, so just continue your little tantrums,
 attack personally and know that it has lost it's , shall we say
 in Tantric terms- SHAKTI

Glenn

doing
   the bidding of his master Rupert Murdoch who wants to maintain the
   status quo which is really against the interests of his followers
the
   Idiocrats (TeaPartiers).  Such people are a drag on society as

From the Christian Science Monitor:

This from today's Wall Street Journal:

Photos of the Beck event clearly show a big crowd. The weather was great – 
whatever the exact figure, there were a lot of people there. The area along the 
Reflecting Pool stretching out from the Lincoln Memorial was packed. Groups 
were gathered under trees far on either side. Large conglomerations of folks 
gathered all the way to the Washington Monument.

The crowd was big enough to disrupt Washington's subway system, with service 
from at least 12 stops disrupted due to long lines for entry.

Given that context, let's wade into the numbers.

Rally organizers, in applying for their permit, said they expected a crowd of 
up to 300,000. And on Sunday, after the rally, Beck himself said on Fox News 
that the event drew 300,000 people on the low end, and perhaps as many as 
650,000 people on the high end.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R) of Minnesota, at her own rally held on the edges of 
Mr. Beck's event, said, We're not going to let anyone get away with saying 
there were less than a million here today because we were witnesses.

However, a firm hired by CBS News to estimate the crowd put attendees at 
between 78,000 and 96,000. The firm, AirPhotosLive.com, had three estimators go 
over high-resolution aerial photos of the event, and then combined the three 
estimates. (One of the estimators talks about the experience here.)

These kinds of debates over crowd attendance go way back.

We'll close with Joni Mitchell's line: By the time we got to Woodstock, we 
were half a million strong . . . 

Except they probably weren't. Organizer Michael Lang later estimated the 
Woodstock crowd at about 400,000. Only half of those had tickets.
The final tally:
Sky News: 500,000
NBC News: 300,000
D.C. Official: 300,000-325,000
Glenn Beck: 300,000-500,000
ABC News: 100,000+
CBS News: 87,000

Beck believes that non-belief in God (the Biblical God) is UnAmerican.

Also, he hates Woodrow Wilson.
