9-12 project is what I'm assuming I'm looking at.

It was put together by Glenn Beck....if you want to strike out against radicals you have to make sure your leader isn't more fucked up than those that you are railing against. Beck's (ex) sponsors seem to understand this....how many major ones have pulled advertising during his show now even though they still advertise at other times on Fox? 33 or so last I had heard.

The problem right now with the Republican party is that they lack a likable leader who is both conservative and sane

[Bassplayer]

What was this from?

[DaveH]

You might want to have your facts straight before posting. The March on Washington was organized by Freedomworks, which is headed by Dick Armey and Steve Forbes.

So now that we cleared that up... why do you suppose this huge rally didn't get any major coverage by the left-stream media? If Cindy Sheehan would have organized 25 people and farted in front of the Whitehouse when Bush was in office, every single media outlet would have been there discussing the texture and aroma of the fart.

Oh...I got the idea that it was organized by Beck was when you go to 912project.com the title of the page is "Glenn Beck - The 912 Project"

[DaveH]

The 912 Project (Becks) is something completely different. The March on America was not affiliated with the 912 Project.

Ahh...ok, I wasn't around to watch the news/whatever this weekend as I was driving across the state. I did catch a peak of foxnews showing a rally in Washington DC and it had the title of 912project on it....so I just assumed it was the same.

[Trafik Jamz]

Best sign I've seen so far from that rally.

Yes, he is winning the Cablenews Race....but Cable News from BOTH sides of the aisle are nothing but entertainment shows at best.

Hmmm and yet the democrats have a radical as a leader......... yep, Id rather stick to the leaderless party where i can think for myself, and not have to follow the messiah

ohhh and fxt.....

[DaveH]

Any thoughts on this? Seems like quite a few people on this site haven't even heard about it. I would have thought a rally of this size would have been news. I just heard a interview with ABC News anchor Charlie Gibson, and he said he hasn't heard of it. Yeah right.

It's all over left wing talk radio. Mostly arguing that there is no way that there were the 1.7 million people that Beck claims there were there and is more than likely closer to the 60 - 70,000 people that the fire department estimates were in attendance (since they likely know the maximum occupancy of the area, etc, etc, and they say you couldn't pack more than 150,000 in there if you tried).

I'll give you that even if it is only 70,000 people, that is still a large number and should be given at least some coverage.

Yes, the Republicans are easily winning the "Cable News Race" but just because they are winning doesn't mean they are always right. You could have the most factual person in the world on a tv show, but if he is not entertaining, he is not going to get ratings. If he is not controversial he is not going to get ratings. If that is a liberal comment, so be it, but it is also truth. Also remember that not everyone who watches those shows agrees with them. I watch Beck because I think he is funny and love watching him dig himself into bigger and bigger holes and get exposed for the hack he is. I also watch to get the other side from more sensible guys like O'Reilly, whom I agree with quite a bit.

BECK: Oh, he is — you know, this might come as a surprise to a lot of listeners or viewers, but I am — I blend in the rap crowd.

you guys better rethink your glen beck affair after that one. you wouldnt want us to think that its ok for white people to be interested in african american culture or anything

BECK: I'm going to come clean with you, Bill. I have no idea who the hell this guy even is.

oh, nm. glen beck has no idea who Jay-z is. all IS right in the world after all.

[DaveH]

You are proving my point, nobody listens to left wing talk radio. :icon_albino:

FYI, please check facts again. Beck has not made a claim on the attendance, he specifically said he wasn't going to. Where do you get this crap? Left wing radio?
