Yes, Glenn Beck’s Rally Was Officially Bigger Than The One Nation Rally

» 131 comments

Rally numbers are the new sports statistics! According to every major media outlet yesterday’s big tent One Nation rally did not manage to draw as many people to the National Mall as Glenn Beck‘s 8/28 Restoring Honor rally despite the fact they had media powerhouse Ed Schultz as a featured speaker! From the New York Times:

Noting that they began planning their rally in April, organizers said they were not responding to a march organized by Glenn Beck, which drew enormous crowds to the front of the Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28. But they acknowledged that their hope was to draw an even larger crowd to Saturday’s event. Significant areas of the National Mall that had been filled during Mr. Beck’s rally were empty. In a broadcast on Thursday, Mr. Beck criticized the liberals’ march, saying his supporters paid their own way to drive to Washington, while labor unions chartered hundreds of buses to ferry demonstrators to Saturday’s rally. Mr. Beck’s rally resembled a religious revival, but Saturday’s event was overwhelmingly a political and policy pep rally, although it largely avoided partisan language.

And from the AP: “Organizers claimed they had as many participants as Beck’s rally. But Saturday’s crowds were less dense and didn’t reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck’s rally. The National Park Service stopped providing official crowd estimates in the 1990s.”

You get the point. Beck’s rally was bigger, quite a feat considering all the so-called “communist” support the One Nation rally received! Perhaps the secret socialists are not quite as fearsome a force as some people have led the public to believe.

Another thing. Beck’s supporters may also be more tidy. Much was made following the 8/28 rally about how clean attendees had left the National Mall. So perhaps you will not be surprised to hear that yesterday’s rally goers allegedly left it a total mess. Video ‘proof’ pulled from YouTube below (I was at Beck’s rally but not at this one, so can’t confirm the difference on this point).

One more thing. A number of sites have posted galleries of the signs at yesterday’s rally (see here and here) and generally speaking they are of standard political/union fair. However, I’m pretty sure if CSPAN had caught anyone on the Mall at the 8/28 rally waving a sign equivalent to the ‘Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are racist’ sign that popped up on yesterday’s coverage we would have been reading and hearing condemning coverage about it on the MSM nearly every day since.

Other than that I guess all there is to say is over to you Jon Stewart!

    Really??? You mean Joe Madison is a lying piece of crap??? I just can’t believe it. You better count again. They would never come out and just bold face lie like that….. http://www.mediaite.com/online/one-nation-working-together-rally-claims-bigger-numbers-than-restoring-honor/

    Just noticed the animated gif has the wrong date, it’s 8/28 not 9/12

  • LibertySister

    Does anyone even think they would be clean. Come on!!! this is the liberals we are talking about… Some of them dont take showers for weeks so you think they would pick up there mess!!!

  • JimBob

    The “Media Powerhouse, Mr ED” could have at least asked them
    to clean up their damn mess!
    I have an idea their kitchens look the same way.
    That is just who libs are!!!!

    Over the years I have observed lib talking heads on TV. They can never tell the truth. They will lie when presented with overwhelming evidence. It makes them look stupid. Just look at some of the people on this site. They knew Beck drew more that 250,000 people on 8/28 yet they would claim less than 100,000. Now the photos clearly show Beck had more than the loons that showed up yesterday and yet they will again proclaim that is not true. That is why they hide behind phony names.

    People at the rally gave out a lot of literature. It’s a little different then telling people to pull out their cell phones and donate money to Glenn Beck.

    Yes! And by looking at some of the after Rally Videos & pictures we see where most of it ended up.

    Hmmmm…they were planning it in April but didn’t get around to registering their domain name until June 23? The discussion on Facebook seem to indicate that there wasn’t much of anything planned as recently as 2 months ago.

    The organizers are lying.

    Beck is misleading in the quote in the post.

    At Beck’s rally, one Koch-linked group bused people in; see #4:

    http://24ahead.com/n/10184

    Also, the night before his event, Beck visited a gathering put on by Armey’s group. His group is a successor to a group started with Koch money. Armey supports very “business-friendly” immig. policies, something that leads to increased spending that teapartiers have to pay for and reduced power for the teapartiers. The Kochs fund groups that also support “business-friendly” immig. policies.

    And, all of that means that the teapartiers are following people whose policies would increase their spending and reduce their power. Which, if you think about it, is pretty dumb.

    Yes. One of those things puts lots of money in the hands of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation to take care of the kids left behind by American heroes who gave their lives in the service of our country and the other leaves a dirty socialist mess all over the Mall, which the US taxpayer gets to pay to have cleaned up.

  • Big_F-ing_Deal

    I will concede Beck’s rally was 10 times the size and that Liberals are messier than conservatives. No use denying it, the proof is in the videos. I also don’t think the rally was planned before Beck’s rally.

    I’m not a kool-aid drinker, I can face the truth when I see it. And it doesn’t effect me on a personal level like it does most of you guys.

    I’m sure Woodstock was a lot messier than the Nuremberg Rally.

  • felixw

    They should get RRK to do the headcount. He will come up with whatever number fits the liberal talking point of the day. But someone else will need to the actual counting for him. Once he runs out of fingers, the actual numbers start getting hazy.

  • felixw

    400 progressive organization stage a rally and they can’t match Beck’s draw. The photos showed that Beck drew a much, much larger crowd. Goes to show you that truth still has a bigger audience than fiction.

  • http://www.heartland.org/environmentandclimate-news.org/ClimateConference4 Just Tex

    If the trashy mess weren’t so sad (but typical of the Left) this would be hilarious.

    I’m pretty sure I had more people in my backyard last night for beer & BBQ.

    And everyone completely cleaned up after themselves, before they went home. I wonder why? Oh yeah, now I remember. I didn’t invite any self absorbed, fully self serving, Leftist to the party. And conservatives always take pride in being self sufficient. That’s why alright…

  • Hardrada

    Those union bosses were busy, ordering all those members to attend the rally must have been exhausting. Question is: Did the union guys receive time and a half or just straight pay?

    I was actually there
    My husband and I were actually at the rally, for three hours, along with thousands of others, many sitting under the canopies of trees out of the sun. We folks of color don’t worship the rays and thus, were seated/standing/smiling, under the trees. May I offer this: the rally was one of HOPE NOT HATE which did me, and countless others, a world of good. We Obama supporters don’t need to disparage others or fill our hearts with disgust at “underlings” and/or rant about returning to the founders (and we all understand the code there). The speakers were inspiring, none needing to refer to talking points prepared in advance by the likes of dickarmey, the koch brothers, and/or fox… My husband is a retired military officer, and I am a college professor. We do represent the sanity of the left, proudly, and we are inspired to vote. As I hope we all are. Remember: we were actually at the rally.

    We white folks get our asses burnt in the rays and like to stay out of them too, especially on hot days while in a crowd. Under all of the trees on the site on 8/28 it was packed with people elbow to elbow. I was there. It looked like this.

    It would’ve been nice if all of it went to charity and I would respect Beck for doing that, but I’m afraid a lot of it went to his bank account. He and the Koch brothers had to be reimbursed somehow for all those buses they had to pay for to get people there. And it’s good tax right off too. Once you start down the dark side forever it will dominate your destiny.

    It’s hardly surprising that Beck had a bigger crowd. He and Fakes “News” pimped his rally relentlessly on-air for weeks. The supposedly-liberal MSNBC didn’t do nearly as much on-air promoting of the One Nation event – and didn’t compromise its journalistic integrity as Fox did long ago.

    There were few mentions prior to the One Nation event on the supposedly “liberal media” that deluded right-wingers rant and rage about. We, in fact, have a conservative-leaning CORPORATE media, concerned with profit and little else.

    Another matter that Glynnis and the right-wingers completely overlook is the age cohort of the attendees of the two events. The Fox/Beck demographic skews heavily toward the senior crowd – retirees and pensioners who are less constrained by career and family obligations than younger people and can more readily attend distant events. The One Nation crowd looked much younger than the “God’s waiting room” contingent at Beck’s event. There were many kids at One Nation and virtually none at Beck’s (which spared them the inevitable nightmares).

    Beck’s event was devised primarily as self-promotion. There was no intent, initially, to gather donations for charity. The charity was used to obscure the crass commercialism and neocon politics of the event.

    Beck made $30+ million last year. He’ll doubtless do better THIS year, thanks to his day-long commercial at a revered national shrine. Maybe NEXT year he’ll try to get the Lincoln Monument renamed after HIM.

    What did the One Nation event try to “sell”? The same things Rev. Dr. King did so many years ago; unity among peoples and nations, equality and basic human dignity for all.

    Boy, they’ve got nerve.

    You forgot one important thing! Beck’s rally didn’t allow people with signs they were afraid some people may bring in some racists signs and it would give the impression that the teabaggers there were racists. Beck is now telling people not to dress up in costumes because he doesn’t want people coming in looking like African tribesmen, slave owners, Hitler or Stalin because its going to give out the wrong impression.

    Organizers of Saturday’s “One Nation Working Together” rally at the Lincoln Memorial are proud of their diversity. Before the event, they predicted it would be the “most diverse march in history.” It turned out they were right. Looking around the rally, there were Teamsters Local 311, Service Employees International Union Local 1199, Communications Workers of America Local 2336, American Federation of Teachers Local 1, United Auto Workers Amalgamated Local 171, Transport Workers Union Local 100, and representatives of many, many other unions. That’s a lot of diversity…

    Organizers will deny that the march was a total union job, compared to the more grassroots character of tea party gatherings. And it’s true that union allies like the NAACP also played a big part in staging “One Nation Working Together.” But it’s safe to say the rally would have been nothing without labor’s money and organizing strength.

    My friend was a recovered Republican and he almost said the same thing. He was just getting tired of all the hate and fear and felt his partly had left him. I guess he would of been considered a moderate Republican. The bashing of Obama everyday got to him and he felt he was trying to do good, but felt it just wasn’t justified and made him sick.

    You posters sound like high school guys in the football locker room comparing organs. “Mine was bigger,” “No, Mine was bigger.” The fact is, Americans are engaged for this election, and that is a good thing. It would be better if both sides were a bit more comfortable telling the truth…Beck and Palin still want to question every move the President makes, and condemn everything, even if it is something they promote (like small business tax relief.) I doubt that the right even knows this law was signed this week. And the left spends way too much time on O’Donnell’s nutty statements. Let her sink herself. The voters of Delaware are smart enough to figure her out. She’s run this race before, and lost.
    I also hate the smears on both sides. Liberals are neither lazy, messy, nor out for a free ride. Please. I have been working for 44 years. My children both have spouses, college degrees, and jobs. We own our home, and owe less than $20,000 on it. When he retires in three years, it will be paid off and we will be debt free. We are responsible, caring people. I can’t explain the trash on the mall unless there were not enough trash containers in place….could that be the reason? I NEVER litter, and would have carried my own trash away with me…I have seen people of all political persuasions throw lit cigarettes from cars, not pick up their dog’s droppings, etc. So please stop labeling behavior as one political party or the other. We are all people.

  • Latin2

    Thanks Glynnis, nice blog.

    I have noticed that after the majority of Tea Party rallies they clean up and pick up everything they bring. They never leave a bunch of litter.

    Also MSNBC’s Ed Schultz has been bragging that he could bring in more people than Glenn Beck. He said that he is better connected and could get hundreds of thousands of people to show up…more than Beck could.

    SO WHAT HAPPENED?

    Just like Beck, Ed Schultz has a show on cable news and claims he is ‘in’ with many Labor Unions and Leftist Bloggers.

    So that makes TWO TIMES that Ed failed to bring in major crowds. The 1st time was when he was the main speaker at Rev. Sharpton’s rally held on the same and at the same location as Becks. Schultz SPOKE AT BOTH RALLIES.

    So Is Ed going to be at the Stewart/Colbert rally…you know three times is the charm…LOL

    Other than a few Part timers to help clean up that mess, these clowns made on the Mall. How many jobs will be created?
    Who’s Honor was restored? Did they alter in anyway the shellacking they are going to get on Nov 2 ?
    Beck raised 5 and a half million dollars for a very worthwile Veterans Cause Special Operations Warriors Foundation. AND they cleaned up their Damn mess before leaving.

    He said he was a subcontractor for the city and while the gentleman didn’t wish to be named, he probably wouldn’t mind being called ‘Hercules.’ When approached by TheDC, Hercules was immediately and noticeably grumpy.

    Hercules said he had been cleaning up the area around the Memorial since 6 a.m. and expected to be there for “at least” 12 hours.

    “They should have planned more,” he said. “There should have been a clean-up crew.”

    Hercules said he also helped clean-up after Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally and as a result he was in good position to judge the cleanliness of the respective rally protesters. Not only was the “Restoring Honor” rally tidier, according to Hercules, but the “One Nation” rally downright dirty.

    “I was at the other one too,” he said. “So I’ve seen both. I know the difference.”

    “This group” just didn’t get it, he continued. “Let’s just say: I’m in a bad mood.

Last Friday Beck harped on a government report and lamented how this Administration is taking us toward global governance (when anarchy is so much better). Problem is, no one on the show bothered mentioning that the document was published before Obama took office.
