Beck Expects 300,000, Sharpton Expects 3,000

UPDATE 8/28:  Beck got his 300,000+ and Sharpton got about 3,000.

A tale of two rallies:

“The National Park Service said Thursday that it has approved the permit for the Aug. 28 Glenn Beck/Sarah Palin rally at the Lincoln Memorial. Park Service spokesman Bill Line said the permit indicates that organizers expect 300,000 people to attend. Line said it is a fixed rally without a march. The rally will go from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The park service is processing a permit request for a counter demonstration and rally by the Rev. Al Sharpton on the same day along Independence Avenue, south of the memorial. Line said the Sharpton rally organizers list 3,000 expected attendees on their permit request.”

Boy would I love to go to that rally at the Lincoln Memorial. That's gonna be something.

By the way, in case you hadn't heard why Rev. Al has his drawers in a wad over this, August 28th is the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech which was held at the same location. Apparently white people aren't allowed to rally on that day at that site.
