More than 400 organizations - ranging from labor unions to faith, environmental and gay rights groups - partnered for the event, which comes one month after Beck packed the same space with conservatives and tea party-style activists.And here's a photo from one of my commenters, Colin, who notes, "I attended the rally from about 2-3pm, for an even that was supposed to run from noon-4." In other words, a sparsely attended event at what should be the peak hour of the rally:
Organizers claimed they had as many participants as Beck's rally. But Saturday's crowds were less dense and didn't reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck's rally. The National Park Service stopped providing official crowd estimates in the 1990s.
And still, the denizens of the "reality-based community" have their heads in the sand.
