It’s no secret that Glenn Beck’s show on FOX News has been in a rapid decline in terms of content, viewers and sponsors. Now it looks like the end to Beck’s television show could be in sight: But a funny thing happened on the way from the revolution. Since last August, when he summoned more […]
CBS News hired an outside expert group to estimate the size of the crowd at yesterday’s ‘Rally to Restore Sanity And/Or Fear’. Using aerial photos, the company has estimated the crowd at around 215,000. CBS also used the same company to estimate the size of Beck’s rally in August. Using the same techniques, the company […]
Consider this an open thread. For extra fun, how many hundreds will Fox predict the crowd to be at?
The ick factor has just reached a whole new level: Add this to list of bizarre and unusual campaign trail antics: at last week’s Tea Party Express rally in Phoenix, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio welcomed Sarah Palin with a pair of pink underwear. “I just got done welcoming Sarah Palin to our County.

Moving the few hundred remaining prisoners at Guantanamo should be something conservatives rally behind.

That’s an awful lot more than the 5,000 the AP is estimating the crowd at, or the 3,000 that […]
This display by Chris Matthews and his gushy, gooey love fest over the Palin/Bachmann rally is, well should I say not ethical, moral or professional?
From TPM: The message delivered at today’s tea party protest of the Detroit Auto Show: protecting American jobs beats telling Democrats to “keep their hands off” the economy. A group of Michigan tea partiers successfully shut down a protest of the Detroit Auto Show arranged by the National Tax Payer’s Union today on the grounds […]
And the failure in math from the right begins: After the 9/12 march on Washington, conservatives falsely claimed that over a million people attended, when in reality the closest thing to an official count — numbers given by the Washington DC Fire Department to ABCNews.com — placed the crowd at “approximately 60,000 to 70,000 people.” […]
