8/28 coverage

It's pretty interesting watching the c-span coverage of the 8/28 rally; however Facebook has the video that the rally is showing on the Jumbotrons at the rally. It's nice to keep a window open on the computer and watch the c-span coverage to get an idea of the crowd size and reaction.
  Glenn is going to cry. Oops. There he went.
  Yesterday he said to pray for him that he didn't cry THE WHOLE TIME.
  The place is full, he says, as they are keeping track of numbers. We should have numbers at some point.
  Glenn has direct descendants of Native Americans who greeted the first Europeans. He also has direct descendants of Mayflower passengers. Rabbi Lapin is there too.
  TEXT sowf to #85944 to donate $10 to the college funds of fallen soldiers' children.
  Sarah Palin is introducing military heroes. What amazing stories these men have, all for country.
  The loons over at Media Matters are going nuts, claiming it's all "political." Everything Beck says and does is political; inviting Christian speakers and conservatives to speak or voice Christian ideals and principles makes it off limits and "political," rather than stating the "correct" position of progressive/liberal causes such as abortion and denying prayer at community events. 
  Wow. 
  C.L. Jackson Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist Church, Houston, endorses Glenn Beck and his mission. Is awarded the medal of FAITH. Says he was at the original MLK rally and what an honor it was to be there again today. Called Glenn Beck a son of God. Jackson quit school in the 10th grade but went on to achieve high levels of education because God wouldn't let him stop. Thanks Glenn for inviting him. 
  106 THOUSAND people watching on Facebook.

A READER PHOTO FROM WASHINGTON: Reader Tom K. is at the Glenn Beck event in DC and sends this picture. He writes:

Your namesake’s event is overwhelming in the number of people here. Accents and flags from every corner of the USA but not a single protest sign in sight. If CNN finds an angry protester, that might be the lone one.

The photo attached can’t do justice to the magnitude of the turnout. The only imagery I can conjure is the protest scene in “Forrest Gump” with many more added.

I can’t wait to hear the MSM’s description of the turnout.

Something along the lines of “Scores gathered near the Lincoln Memorial today . . . ” Somebody try to get me an overhead shot.

And concluding with the most stirring song in the world, Amazing Grace.
*FIVE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS RAISED AS THE MONEY POURS IN for the SOWF.*

WOOT!
