I don't have the tv on - how many tens of followers are at the Nürnberg oops I mean Beck Rally?

1. Apparently no one can find a picture of the crowd

Maybe the one taking the pictures is the follower in the crowd?

I'd like to know how many also.

2. Aerial view:

3. Beck claimed 500 thousand....lol.

5. Is the Park Service giving any numbers?

because that really isn't very big. i was thinking it would be twice as big as that. i mean, there are lots more Freepers than that within a Metro ride of the mall.

8. I see a lot of patches of green on those lawns

9. Judging from that pic

I'd guess around 80-100k. Hard to tell how many are under the trees on the right but they are spread really thin on the left side. No way it's anywhere near 500k.

4. Where is the National Park Service estimate?

?

[Fumesucker]

6. The NPS doesn't do crowd estimates any more..

Apparently they got tired of being dragged into political fights over crowd size estimates.

7. That means we really don't know.

I wouldn't put it past FAUX to generate fake aerial photos.

10. CBS evening news

Just reported their "tally" at 87k
