Rally To Restore Sanity Attendance

Rally To Restore Sanity Attendance. The Jon Stewart Rally to Restore Sanity attendance is somewhere between 150,000 to 250,000 according to various reports surfacing. CBS says that the attendance is pegged at around 215,000 - although the Restoring Honor rally held in August was claimed to have about 87,000 participants.

The Rally To Restore Sanity/March to Keep Fear Alive were created by Comedy central TV show hosts Stephen Colbert an Jon Stewart. The two have become unlikely political figures over the past couple of years in the midst of various scandals and high profile news events.

For instance, Stephen Colbert testified before Congress for illegal immigration debates. Jon Stewart was thrust in the limelight when Rick Sanchez was fired after calling Stewart a bigot.

Jon Stewart even calle the president "dude" before the mid-term elections when Obama showed up on his "The Daily Show" while filming in DC.

Glenn Beck Rally Attendance Again Disputed?

Glenn Beck's rally attendance again disputed? In the wake of the Jon Stewart "Restoring Sanity" rally which began as a satire event after Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally and turned into a political call to action once again, Beck's rally attendance is in the news.

CBS had reported that Beck's attendance was at 87,000 whereas other estimates had a much higher figure - some as high as 500,000.

Once again, Beck's attendance is called in to light. Stewart's rally according to CBS brought in 215,000. Does this indicate that the Comedy Central rally turnout was greater than that staged by the popular Fox News personality?

Not necessarily. We won't ever know the exact count of people who were present at the event. Furthermore, does it really even matter? What matters is that people were inspired. They were inspired by the Beck rally and were once again inspired by the Jon Stewart rally.

One Nation Rally Attendance and Glenn Beck Rally Attendance Crowd Comparison

The One Nation rally attendance and Glenn Beck Rally attendance is the latest in the political back-and-forth between the Liberals and the Tea Party movement.  While Beck’s rally was really a “non-political” event, the One Nation rally was distinctly political in nature. 


There were some estimates of Glenn Beck’s rally that point to a crowd of approximately 87,000 people.  However, Beck seems to think that about 500,000 people were there. 


The One Nation rally attendance estimates peg a crowd of around 200,000.  Of course, no one will give an official number to the attendance due to the highly charged political environment.  


The Glenn Beck Rally was a rally to restore honor.  It was a non political charity event, which benefited a charity which helps our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Despite claims that it wasn’t politically motivated, the rally featured Tea Party faces such as Beck himself and Sarah Palin. 


The One Nation rally was a group of hundreds of liberal organizations, labor unions, and the American 99ers Union.  They are demanding the changes they voted for such as higher minimum wages, unemployment extensions, and easier access to labor unions. 


At the end of the month, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are staging dueling rallies.  The Rally to Restore Sanity and the March to Keep Fear Alive are the true Anti-Beck crowds. Although Stewart is respectful of Beck his audience may not hold the same views. The true testament of which group is larger will be the Stewart/Colbert rally attendance. 


Without knowing the true Glenn Beck rally attendance figures and the One Nation rally attendance totals, we can’t say which was greater.  However, click here for rally attendance photos from both Glenn Beck and One Nation and let us know which you feel was a bigger crowd.

One Nation Rally Attendance Bigger than Glenn Beck Rally? [PHOTO]

The One Nation Rally which transpired on Saturday is the talk of the political circles. After the Glenn Beck rally, it only made sense that the liberal demographic would stage their very own event. However, it appears as if the attendance figures for the one nation rally are actually far less than Glenn Beck's rally attendance.

Now, there will be people that argue until they are blue in the face. However look at the photograph here - one of the photos were taken at Beck's rally and the other was taken at this weekend's One Nation rally. Tell me which crowd appear larger?

However, no one is releasing totals on the attendance of the One Nation rally. One non-partisan satellite imagery company issued an estimate of 87,000 for Beck's rally attendance, although he claims more like 500,000 attended. The One Nation organizers claim that 175,000 to 200,000 came to their rally.

The politics are heated, and therefore we won't have a concrete total from the rally. Whose rally was better, Beck's or One Nation? It all depends on who you ask.

What attendance do you think was better - one Nation or Glenn Beck?

Glenn Beck Rally Attendance Controversy Explained

Glenn Beck's rally attendance controversy continues, and CBS news explained yesterday how the 87,000 crowd estimate came to be. Those who actually went to the Glenn Beck rally believe that far more people came than the 87,000 reported by the news agency.

The article points out that although the photos and videos look like hundreds of thousand of people were present, looking at the photos and videos alone doesn't take into consideration how tightly packed those in attendance were.  That means that a rather large crowd can look small and vice versa. 

Still yet, Beck and others say there were hundreds of thousands of people present.  Beck is in the position where it's expected to over exaggerate how many people were at the rally. However the disparity in the numbers is alarming.

What's the cause? Are the "scientific" estimates correct? If so, does Beck want to make the crowd sound larger?? Are the estimates of people who attended correct? If so, does that mean that the current administration has something to worry about?

Glenn Beck Rally Attendance Controversy and Divide Grows

Glenn Beck’s rally attendance remains debatable, and the divide over the accurate attendance figures continues to grow. At first, the totals reported were around 87,000.  People in Washington DC say that that total was vastly understated.

Some people say that there were around 300,000.  I’ve even saw claims that there were an upwards of a million people present in DC for the rally.

While a million sounds to be a bit much, and 87,000 seems to be a bit low everyone waits for a credible answer.  This is one controversy that may never be solved, and if not the message was not lost and if anything, the message was portrayed to many more people as they read about what the fuss is about.

The rally continues to be a slam-dunk for Glenn Beck and Company, much to the chagrin of his adversaries. He may be hated by the left, but he’s well embraced by many conservatives.

Still yet, one has to admit that the Fox News host’s methods are sometimes on the side of unorthodox. However, he’s passionate about his message, stands up for what he believes in, and doesn’t back down to pressure.  For that, he’s well deserved of respect regardless if 87,000 or 500,000 people showed up for his rally.

Glenn Beck Rally Attendance and a Controversial Discussion

Glenn Beck's rally attendance discussions remain heated.  How many people attended Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally?  If you listen to CBS News, they say that 87,000 people attended.  If you read the comments on bulletin boards all across the Internet, hundreds of thousands of people attended.


The non-political event was held at the National Mall, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.  There was a call to return back to the values of our Founding Fathers- to remain the Christian nation we once were. Speakers such as Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and Alveda King entertained the crowds 


Al Sharpton had a parallel rally called "Restoring the Dream."  Sharpton had sharp criticism over Beck's choice of date and venue, as it was the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech. 


The photos and videos of the rally show much more than 87,000 people.  Many are curious how CBS came up with that number.   Still yet, Glenn Beck's rally attendance remains a hot topic, and I am very curious as to what the Fox News commentator will say about it on his TV show later on today.

Glenn Beck Rally Attendance are Remaining Controversial

Glenn Beck's rally attendance is remaining controversial. How many people attended the Glenn Beck rally yesterday?

Estimates range from 87,000 to over 500,000 so there's a significant gap somewhere in there. Politics as usual is playing a part in the controversy, and many say that the estimates from CBS news are accurate as stated at 87,000.

Others are calling BS, claiming hundreds of thousands were at the rally.

Despite the numbers the rally was a success. Anything Beck does remains a controversy, and therefore comes with it publicity. There was millions of dollars raised for the cause, and many of our readers have reported being inspired by what speakers such as Beck, Palin, and Alveda King had to say.

From the photos and the videos of the event, it appears as if there were much more than just 87,000 present. If you were at the rally, how many do you think were there?
