Is it just me or do the people in the crowd

[wellstone dem]

(not the ones on stage) look disappointed.

1. They came for red meat...

and all they got was some peas and a few carrots.

[miscsoc]

2. also notably ugly

i'm no oil painting myself but my god that's a lot of ugly to see in one place

[RagAss]

8. Yes indeed.....pimples in a Rhinos ass come to mind.

[MadMaddie]

3. Yes I agree with you.

I think they were hoping for a Hitleresque fiery speech to tell them to pick up their guns......they probably spent their welfare checks, social security checks, unemployment checks or last bit of money to attend this event. I don't feel sorry for haters.

Beck is a Snake Oil Salesman....no different from the 1800's just with technology.

[Brickbat]

4. Wait...was that all? Is it done?

[Chipper Chat]

6. No, now he's asking for money!

[hatrack]

7. Well there's a surprise!

:rofl:

[RamboLiberal]

5. Most look bored as hell

He sure didn't get them fired up. Before the piper came out when he started the fake tears one guy in crowd was laughing.

This was one boring rally and mostly boring speakers who had no coherent message.

9. here's a picture of a guy who must be disappointed

24. How hard is it to look up the hammer and sickle online?

I mean really.

[Andy823]

10. Well...

They were promised a "miracle" and what did they get? The got the worlds biggest hypocrite talking about "honesty", not "hating" others, "uniting" the country, and this from a man who has done his best to spread hate, lie, and divide the country! I wonder how many of them were bussed in from the other two events sponsored by republican groups? This was just Beck trying to gather his "flock", bilk them for money, and compare himself to the likes of Lincoln, Moses, Martin Luther King, and Jesus! It was a scam to get money and boost this morons ego!

11. K&R!

[AsahinaKimi]

12. Just wondering did

Sarah Palin show up or did she quit this too?

[wellstone dem]

13. I'm told she was there

but I missed her speech. I mean, I didn't hear her speech, I didn't miss it, was glad not to hear it.

[blogslut]

16. I heard it

All you missed was a rambling segment of nothing. You could tell she told to lay off the hate speech snark bits. Girlfriend was lost without her lightning rod.

[Raschel]

18. They have nothing without the hate. It's all that unites them.

[UTUSN]

14. Yip, they didn't come for what they were seeing on the stage

The C-SPAN cameras pans of the crowd showed them all being DISAPPOINTED and bored, the tall bearded White dudes in ballcaps (their prized demographic) STARING DOWN AT THEIR FEET while all the minorities on the stage were doing their rousing things. What little arm waving there was was really embarrassing. The OLD White ones in wheelchairs and lawnchairs stared stonily ahead.

[kentuck]

15. Yep.

:-)

[rustydog]

17. Come on! They had to listen to Beck and Palin butcher the

English language. Even the dumbest tea bagger had to be bored. Did she invent any new words today.

[inna]

19. can someone tell me what the heck is going on?

I see all these Beck references all over DU, and I don't even have cable tv and missed the whole story completely. Is it about some fox-sponsored teabagger rally taking place somewhere, or what exactly is going on?... :shrug:

[Hissyspit]

20. Today's Beck-emceed "Reclaim Honor" rally at Lincoln Memorial on anniversary of MLK

"I Have A Dream" speech.

Disgusting appropriation framing opportunistic con job. Sarah Palin said "I hope Martin Luther King is looking on proud," or something to that effect.

Offense to the max.

[inna]

22. OMFG, how dares he. What a travesty.

It's almost a mockery; MLK would be spinning in his grave if he had any idea...

23. They were hoping for some order to storm the white house and congress...
