Comparison DC Mall Pictures - Glenn Beck's Tea-Bagger Protest vs Obama's Inauguration

[Maple]

Hey Elvis I would think you could find a picture with more people in it right? So why not show us a picture where the Teag Baggers have anywhere NEAR the inaguration?

We will see, but yeah, when you look at the pictures some are saying it was the largest rally in many of years and the good news is that all those conservatives ceaned up after themselves, something the libs let other people do, surprising when you consider that it's the libs i.e. progressives that are supposed to be the big environmentalists. The protestors left it clean and picked up and carried out their own trash.

BTW the pictures are all over this board, I posted some earlier.

"BeckPalinHannityLimbaugh!!!11!" - AutoZona

Where was Beck, Palin, Hannity or Limbaugh during this 9/12 cluster. By the way, Michelle Malkin said there were two million people there....lol

Two million! LOL.

Oh and no Beck. He was a key person for this....and he wasnt even there....why not? LOL

 

[Zona]

By the way, where was Beck during this grand get together of Real mericans...?

He had to work.

Yup...on Saturday...the day a rally he had a lot ot do with took place. Yup, he had to work. I agree with ya.

 

[Zona]

Read it and weep libs, the count is coming out.

Up to two million march on US Capitol to protest Obama's 'socialist'*... - White House

Psssstt....it was 70 thousand, tops.

You were close though...you were only off by 1,930,000 people. Close enough.

Hey Elvis I would think you could find a picture with more people in it right? So why not show us a picture where the Teag Baggers have anywhere NEAR the inaguration?

I heard a woman on the radio today say it was as many as the inaguration. Seriously...she said that. Wow.

 

[fiddystorms]

MSNBC is reporting Hundreds of thousands attended.

Wow, I can't believe it... this is awesome... NeoCOMMs are losing their minds! They are petrified at this movement! I was there. There were at least a mil and a half. The sea of people was unbelievable. Next year we're going to invite Guiness Book of World Records to record it. We'll all raise a glass in celebration with the worlds largest toast.

I still can't get over how desperate they are to cast doubt on this thing. They do this all the time and end up digging a bigger hole for themselves as they've done all summer long. They defended Van Jones to the end.

I must've missed something Zona... why was Beck supposed to be there? Why would we need him there? That's what separates us, we don't need a leader to follow, you are pasrt of a collective that needs a leader. We went as individuals to protest your collectives wants.

Also, MSNBC is reporting Hundreds of thousands attended. Ouch, Sorry Zona.

PS, NAZI = National Socialist Party. Socialism is a left wing movement.

I wonder how many teaslaggers would have showed up if it were 10 degrees outside, because that's what it was for the inauguration. If it had been a balmy 74, then 10 million people easy would have shown up to Obama's inauguration.

Only 10 million?

You libs really settle for so little.

This really has you obsessed.

You know how to use a radio?

Seriously? Wow...

Impressive for you, AutoZona....

 

[RadiomanATL]

No, they do not.

1) The inauguration was planned for months.
2) The inauguration was a first time in history kind of event
3) The inauguration was promoted, hyped and talked about, rightfully so, all over the media leading up to the event.

The protests yesterday had none of these factors in play.

If you leave out these facts from your equation, your interpretation will be faulty, and not at all logical.

The two do not compare. At all.

For the record, this event was in planning since March.

OK, maybe it was. I consider myself a relatively plugged in kinda guy, as are yourself and the vast majority of people here. I didn't hear about until the day of the event. And I didn't see any posts here regarding it until the day of the event. *Shrug* There may have been posts here about it prior to it, not saying that they weren't. But I didn't see them.

This is also a first time in history kind of event considering the circumstances.

A protest in Washington. LOL. No way that is a first kind in history kind of event.

This protest was also promoted, hyped, and talked about all over the media.

Maybe it was. I dunno. But again, I didn't hear about it. And hyped (again, rightfully so) as much as the inaugural? No way.

 

[RadiomanATL]

Anyone trying to compare the two events, in any way, is a moron.

And that includes you Marco.

I don't think he's comparing the events... I think he's just pointing out what a big crowd looks like so that it's clear that certain parties are overinflating yesterday's numbers.

Yeaaaahhhh....about that. Better read a little more into the thread. He was trying to compare the two, as were a few other posters.

 

[RadiomanATL]

Yes, radio, they do compare, and you are wrong. The facts and the logical interpretation therein prove it.

No, they do not.

DevNell,

I have now read through all of the posts that have occurred since I have last signed on on this thread. I didn't see a reply from you attempting to point out where I may be wrong in my reasoning. I did receive your neg-rep though. Thank you for that. But instead of calling me another nutjob for my above post in the neg-rep PM, perhaps you should attempt to logically show me where I may be incorrect in saying that the inaugural and the protest were not the same in scope, size or historical importance?

I look forward to your reply.

You are exactly right... the two events are not to be compared and have no relation to each other. One was a national event, the other was a protest movement. One was a government sponsored event, the other was not. One was covered on every news station and watched in schools and public offices, the other was not. I am not saying that both do not have significance to our nation because they do, but they are not in the same class of events and therefore are not comparable.

The fact that anyone would say that the inaguration is proof of Obama's supporting #'s and then compare them to the Tea Party event is dense and dumb. I dislike Obama, but I watched the event and probably would have been there. I have and will never support Obama, but I would have been there if I could.... not support him, but witness the event... they are totally different.

Excerpt:
Teabagger-birther-handjobs claim that ABC News had reported crowd size as 1 million to 1.5 million people. Problem is, ABC never said that:At no time did ABC News, or its affiliates, report a number anywhere near as large. ABCNews.com reported an approximate figure of 60,000 to 70,000 protesters, attributed to the D.C., fire department. In its reports, ABC News Radio described the crowd as "tens of thousands." Here's the picture Michelle Malkin's been spreading about Saturday's Obama protest:

Here's a live shot, according to Osbornink.com

Looks to me like nobody showed up.

Really? You were there, I would have liked to have been there, I have attended some of my local tea parties but that looked huge, the libs are still trying to downplay it. Sure looked like it was fun though. What's your guesstimate on the crowd size?

 

[Maple]

I don't know, but those conservatives from all over the country can wear their coats, boots and hats too. I would have done it.

No, they do not.

The reason you are clueless about these events is that you have not watched FOX news and have been left unaware of this movement. ABC, NBC, CBS and MSNBC don't want you to know these things so they don't report on it. Charlie Gibson, remember him, major network news anchor that interviewed Sarah Palin, you know, the guy that was doing everything he could to intimidate her. He was asked about ACORN on a radio program yesterday and stated laughingly, that he knew nothing about it. Watch Fox and you will get the news from both sides of the spectrum, they have several liberals and several conservatives, plus independents. You get it all on Fox, you won't get anything from the others and you will be left clueless again.

I went to a tea party protest in Feb, we were protesting the bailuts, the stimulus bill and the national debt, on April 14th and 15th, they happened all over the country. You would have seen this had you been tuned into the right channel.
