Beck invited the whole country, and 300 million people stood him up

because they think he's a charlatan.

Just a little perspective.

3. Love that attitude, babe.

Sometimes it's hard not to just give up. I've realized I can't do a thing about what's happening, and it's probably going to result in a bloodbath the likes of which humanity hasn't seen in quite some time. And then, maybe, humanity will learn from its mistakes. Sadly, though, we never do.

Enough of that. Thanks for the day brightener.

4. What was the final number of attendees anyway?

He claims 450K which I am sure is much less
I haven't seen any numbers published yet

5. I saw one report with 87K

which is far too many for my taste, but he does have a national TV audience upon which to draw.

6. And his wasn't the only rally

And he had Sarah to boost his numbers, and it still failed. Oh and then we have tourist, who have no idea who these nuts are running around with tea bags dangling from their head. So really taking a tally of the event was kinda like counting people at the mall. And he did bring in the "Big Guns" Sarah.

7. Beck can do what he does because a lot of people have been brainwashed

by the Koch and Bush crowd but also because Obama does nothing to let ordinary people know that he is on their side. People I know really feel that Obama is on the side of the Federal Reserve and the banks in their effort to destroy ordinary Americans. Obama should have led a much more aggressive program to keep people in their jobs and homes. What has happened since 2008 is unforgivable. I am a Democrat, not a corporatist. Glen Beck's nonsense would not have much of a reception if Obama could for once take the side of ordinary people against the bankers -- just for once at least please, please, please.

Beck and Palin are filling a void left by the likes of Obama, Geithner, Dodd, Alan Simpson, and the whole crew.

Just maybe dangerous.
