In the competitive world of Washington protests, crowd size is often a matter of dispute. Organizers usually boast of huge crowds, while police and the news media offer much smaller estimates.
So supporters of Saturday’s “tea party” protests against President Barack Obama were quick to highlight their big turnout. To bolster countless claims on blogs and Facebook, many posted a photograph that showed a gargantuan crowd sprawling from Capitol Hill down the National Mall to the Washington Monument.
But it turns out the photo is more than 10 years old, apparently taken during a 1997 Promise Keepers rally.

Glenn Beck is a puppet on a string, and he is playing his part very well as the 'good cop', and appealing to the right wingers who are loyal to the constitution, in the hope that they will take up arms to try and take their country back...

I watch his show about three or four times a week. In reality, Beck has repeatedly asked his viewers to NEVER engage in any type of violent action on behalf of their political views. Like you, he realizes that it would be disastrous and that the powers that be would use it to stomp out any dissent.

The thing with Glenn beck is that he's not consistent.. he basicly rubbished Ron Paul during his presidential campaign, and he was also supportive of the Government bailout bill which was just daylight robbery from the US tax payers.. these facts plus other information I have learnt lead me to believe that Mr.Beck is not sincere, and most likely has an agenda.

Clearly a stunt by liberal media to make the people that actually care about this country look like we're losing ground. The clear fact is we are gaining it go people go. "Don't tread on me Washington.

While individuals claim that the whole tea party nonsense is a grass root movement it is a planned, organized event and has nothing grass root about it. The GOP and some of their most conservative right wing corporate supporters are behind it and they have a very tortured history with the truth.

Uhhh. My views are not what you would call "consistant" either. They are subject to change based on new information or somebody convincing me of their viewpoint. As a matter of fact the one thing that tells me that Glenn Beck isn't being controlled or manipulated is the "inconsistancy" of his views. If he was being controlled or pushing an agenda you would think that he would be a little more consistant.
By the way I agree with Beck on Ron Paul.
