Basically it was communists having a really fun time, as they do.
and as you can see the whole crowd was copiously and efficiently chemtrailed from above.

So is SD on the left?
Although the specific numbers are hard to determine, did the span of the crowd compare with Beck's rally, iyo?
Not sure why it matters though

Daily Show producers estimate the total attendance to be somewhere between 50 and 500 million people.

I guess it's more of a personal inquiry, a barometer, if you will, as an attempt for me to gauge the social perspective proportions of our country and their stances. I will concur though, other factors of the event outweigh that tidbit of info, just curious.
Where can we get one of those ATS hats? Did you guys see any other ATS emblems anywhere?

There are terrorists, and racists, and Stalinists, and theocrats, but those are titles that must be earned! You must have the resume! Not being able to distinguish between real racists and Tea Party-ers, or real bigots and Juan Williams or Rick Sanchez is an insult--not only to those people, but to the racists themselves, who have put in the exhausting effort it takes to hate. Just as the inability to distinguish terrorists from Muslims makes us less safe, not more.
The press is our immune system. If it overreacts to everything, we actually get sicker--and, perhaps, eczema. And yet... I feel good. Strangely, calmly, good. Because the image of Americans that is reflected back to us by our political and media process is false. It is us, through a funhouse mirror--and not the good kind that makes you look slim in the waist, and maybe taller, but the kind where you have a giant forehead, and an ass shaped like a month-old pumpkin, and one eyeball.
So why would we work together? Why would you reach across the aisle, to a pumpkin-assed forehead eyeball monster? If the picture of us were true, of course our inability to solve problems would actually be quite sane and reasonable--why would you work with Marxists actively subverting our Constitution, and homophobes who see no one's humanity but their own?
We hear every damned day about how fragile our country is, on the brink of catastrophe, torn by polarizing hate, and how it's a shame that we can't work together to get things done. The truth is, we do! We work together to get things done every damned day! The only place we don't is here (in Washington) or on cable TV!
But Americans don't live here, or on cable TV. Where we live, our values and principles form the foundation that sustains us while we get things done--not the barriers that prevent us from getting things done.

Beck estimates according to arial photography..87k
Rally to Restore Sanity, And/Or Fear!...215k
Both rallies were good days for America.
Freedom of speech. Freedom to express yourself in a nonviolent manner.
People coming together to help America in the best way they know how.
No one getting hurt. No crimes committed. No racism or violence.
