Crowd estimates, early reports from Beck's 'restoring honor' rally (with updates) - National conservative | Examiner.com

In a demonstration of the overwhelming support of mainstream America for conservative principles, Glenn Beck's 'Restoring Honor' rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. is drawing 'hundreds of thousands,' according to McClatchy Newspapers.

Early reports indicate that so large is the crowd that attendees were having difficulty hearing the speakers. A quick scan of mainstream news outlets that have done actual estimates this morning indicates that attendance at this point is between 300,000 and 500,000 people.

I am just so dang happy that we have such a fine American like LG to tell us all what we think and who we should listen to.

I don't have anything against Beck. I don't care for him either, but just cause Justin Beiber has tens of millions of fans doesn't mean her music is any good or that she is any more talented than the garage band playing down the street to a crowd of none.

I don't disagree but the size of the crowd is one indicator of the political mood in the country. If people weren't so dissatisfied with the current admin and Congress, there's no way the guy gets 10 grand at an event.

It is nothing more than a sign of discontent. It's been ignored since last Summer when it started bubbling up but the one thing I do agree with Beck on is that people are generally fed up and are looking to real change

I take it the thug cowards at the New Black Panther Party didn't show up to confront Beck. Zulu Shabazz talked a lot of crap, but in the end, I guess he and his fellow travelers will stick to intimidating voters in Philadelphia.

Is that why you are the board's leading advocate for the ground zero victory mosque??

Since you purport to know about islam than anyone else, answer me this; when the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center was created on September 11, 2001, was that before, during or after the muslim jihadist attacks???

Abdul-Malik the 53-year-old former Muslim chaplain at Howard University became the director of outreach at Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Virginia and compared the Israeli separation barrier to South African apartheid and advocated divestiture from Israel and a moratorium on entertainers who perform in Israel. He accused the Israeli government of engaging in a scorched earth policy.

Abdul-Malik supported Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (aka H. Rap Brown), former chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (and close coordinator with Ayrers' weatherman orgainzation) and later the militant Justice Minister of the Black Panther Party who was convicted on March 9, 2002, of murdering Ricky Leon Kinchen, a Fulton County, Georgia, sheriff’s deputy, and wounding another officer in a gunbattle at his store.

Abdul-Malik said he suspected Al-Amin was framed, and that “Somebody has a vendetta against people like H. Rap Brown, because he stood up during a period of great repression in this country and said it mattered to him.”

In November 2003 Abdul-Malik spoke up in defense of the recently arrested of Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi, founder of the American Muslim Council, who was indicted on charges of engaging in illegal financial transactions with Libya, Al-Amoudi’s supporters maintained he was a respected member of the community. However, in 2004 al-Amoudi pled guilty to financial and conspiracy charges, and was sentenced to 23 year years in jail.

In November 2009 Abdul-Malik responded to former Dar al-Hijrah Imam Anwar al-Awlaki’s support of the Fort Hood shooter by saying:“Al-Awlaqi ... supported the crime that Hasan committed and said that the US Muslims who opposed the crime have betrayed the Muslim ummah (the community of Muslims worldwide) and are hypocrites. I answer him by saying that he has thus separated himself from the Muslim community in the United States. The holy Koran teaches us that we as US Muslims should enrich the society we live in with humanitarian services, wisdom, teaching God’s beautiful verses about love, mercy, and compassion to all mankind.”

Try to convince me that Abdul Malik and Dar Al-Hijrah didn't know what was coming down on 9/11!!!

Being ignorant is forgivable, so is being stupid, but knowingly being a traitor and advocating for the enemy is a different thing altogether.

The size of Beck&#8217;s rally on the Mallhttp://davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com/2010/08/29/the-size-of-becks-rally-on-the-mall/

More from today&#8217;s Playbook, here&#8217;s two sources with two fairly different sets of numbers:
&#8211;CBS News commissioned aerial photos and put the crowd at 87,000:&#8220;AirPhotosLive.com based the attendance on aerial pictures it took over the rally, which stretched from in front of the Lincoln Memorial along the Reflecting Pool to the Washington Monument. &#8230; AirPhotosLive.com gave its estimate a margin of error of 9,000, meaning between 78,000 and 96,000 people attended the rally. The photos used to make the estimate were taken at noon Saturday, which is when the company estimated was the rally&#8217;s high point.&#8221;
&#8211;Beck has his own photos, telling Chris Wallace: &#8220;We&#8217;ll have aerial photography here shortly on the numbers, but I can tell you that it was in the hundreds of thousands. &#8230; [L]et&#8217;s be on the low end, 300,000, and it may be as it may be as high as 650,000. But there were hundreds of thousands.&#8221;

Let the debate begin.
