Big Fail. Overhead Photo Shows Embarrassingly Small Turnout at One Nation Rally
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, October 3, 2010, 10:58 AM
The wacky dishonest left wants you to believe that their crowd yesterday matched the Glenn Beck rally last month.
Well, here’s an overhead shot from yesterday’s astroturfed One Nation rally posted at the left-wing Huffington Post.
And, here is a crowd shot from Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally in late August.
So who are you going to believe? The leftist media or your lying eyes?
Verum Serum has the animated gif.

Man, no wonder the left hates the truth.
It shows how pathetic they and their causes really are.

#2,
That comment about truth and the left applies with equal force to Islam. The more truthful information is given to Americans and non-Muslim Europeans the more the Muslims howl. Islam cannot withstand the scrutiny of truth, logic, or common sense. Muslims understand this which explains the OIC efforts to censor on a UN/worldwide scale the truth and Islam.

There were untold dozens upon dozens at the Progressives “Marxist” rally!

This is just an optical illusion, they were all cleverly hidden behind the trees, an monuments. There was at least 20 million there all shouting “Obama isn’t a Socialist, we are”
Chisum commented:
I suppose if you follow the premise that one socialist/communist is worth five conservatives their claims might make some sense.
melanerpes commented:
I particularly appreciate the fact that both shots are from precisely the same angle (apparently from atop the Washington Monument, for any photoshop conspiracy theorists out there).
Jay Tea commented:
Let’s head off the first objection the left will raise. What time was the photo taken? And is that consistent with the shadows shown in the photo of Commiepalooza?

EPIC FAIL
Elmo commented:
Give it a little time Jim, and MSM will be reporting the first pic, as Beck’s rally. And the second jpeg …. as the One Nation (commie circle jerk) rally.
And no … I’m not joking
Militant Conservative commented:
This is what the left hates to see. THEY are the petulant children. Here come the ADULTS to clean up the mess you kids have made. We’re also going to blister your butts for screwing up the country. Libs are just plain ignorant of how the world works. powder is dry.
eddie commented:
Thank you for the overhead side by side shots. Hope that’s the lefts’s turnout for the election too lol.
jainphx commented:
Hey I mean it took at least 20 million to leave the amount of garbage strewn around that they did. Plus all the hot air that came from the speakers mouths that caused global warming all the way to Australia. Belafonte alone caused the glaciers to start melting at the poles.
Randy commented:
We can set back and ‘crow’ about their lies and deceptions all day long – and it proves nothing substantial.
The TRUTH is that is these lying a$$holes are the ones running this country AND they were given the keys of power by the lazy misinformed population of the United States – that’s you and me brother!
How many mothers and fathers set down and really explain what freedom and liberty are? One in fifty? One in seventy? NO, wait, they learn that in the public schools! Heh, and we wonder why American sovereignty and patriotism is an endangered species? The liberal progressives run the schools, the abortion clinics, the libraries, the media, etc.
Everyone complains about the unions, but most people I know would jump at the chance to get a union job and the wages thereof. This ‘us’ ‘them’ mentality isn’t workable because ‘them’ is ‘us’ – unless Americans decide they would rather live their lives according to principle rather than chasing after material comfort/security. When this country can get a 75% voter turnout, then liberty and freedom might have a chance. Right now, most people just yawn and click for a channel change.
gus commented:
As many of you may have noticed, I make no effort to be polite to LIBTARDS. I will not forget the rape of my country.
Anyone stupid enough to vote for Obama, Pelosi or Reid is my enemy.
neomom commented:
Lessee – if that 8/28 photo prompted CBS to find “analysis” that there were only 87,000 there…
Then, the 10/2 photo obviously shows that 175,000 they are reporting.
hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Speaking for yourself son, My son is at a private Military College. He got the scholarship himself. I most certainly did not “give” the keys to the current group in power. fought them every step of the way.
powder is dry.
Conservative Ken commented:
No matter how few actually attended. These people are having their way in Washington right now, and are ignoring the (not so silent) majority.
Throw the Liberal Dem’s and Rhino’s out. They are the ones who let socialist fools like these rob the taxpayer storehouse.
I can’t believe I actually helped pay for that fiasco.
Valerie commented:
I will say one thing about the union people that were bussed in: from the clearance shots that we saw earlier, taken less than a half-hour after the scheduled end and before the last speaker was finished, it’s clear that the union people left as soon as they could get away.
People paid or otherwise coerced to attend a meeting will still vote in privacy.
gus commented:
Randy. I’m not sure I understood your post.
Principles?? Liberty is the principle we are standing up for.
If I want material comforts and gold plated cadillacs it is up to me to achieve so as to get that which I want.
Wipe your nose son. I’ll do as I choose.
a former democrat commented:
I don’t the DNC has clue what the LSM and the internet did.
They dont reliase people no longer need the LSM’s filter to get the news, they can find it themselves on the internet, with no bias, no filters.
and so when the LSM lies or misleads then the mistrust in the LSM only grows more.
gayle commented:
All this is well and good, but the real test comes on Nov 2, election day.
Will those who say they want limited government, abiding by the Constitution as it is written not as it is imagined, come out and vote for candidates who say they will obey their Article VI oaths?
Reaganite Republican commented:
You sure that’s the right day?
LOLOL!
Auntie Em commented:
In a word, and a word that the liberal maroons have have all of their pathetic lives…FAIL.

I’m sorry.
Paddy commented:
The scum of America were on display yesterday. They trashed the Mall. Conversely, Glen Beck’s rally, ten times as many people, left the Mall cleaner than it was before they arrived. This fact alone shows which group are the real Americans.
Chippy commented:
I wonder how much of our wasted stimulus/bailout money was used for this abject failure?
Noah commented:
Had they had more obama stash there would have been a better turn out.
Sarah Morenon commented:
When was the picture taken of yesterday’s rally? Of course, if it was taken at 11 AM, before it started, it would look like that. I suggest to you all that you search for more photos, maybe taken at 2 P.M, and compare the images. I saw with my own eyes that both sides were filled. You too can find the truth, if you look for it.
tarpon commented:
It’s clear why the epic fail, no Americans showed up.

hah, looks there were more people 5 & 1/2 hours after the 10:00 am to 1:00 pm Restoring Honor Rally than at any time via the One Nation Rally pix..
oh btw, i believe the ON Rally lucked out with the
weather in comparison to the RH Rally, go figure..
if they are so proud of what their rally supposedly accomplished (btw,
anyone know what that was??), why do they not have documention of
it??

Sure thing, Sarah. Of course, in opposition to what is seen in the photos and with no proof supporting your claim, you wrote that “I saw with my own eyes that both sides were filled.” Yeah, you’re all about the truth. Just because you want something to be true doesn’t mean that it is, even if you claim to have seen in with your own eyes. Even the left-leaning AP wrote in their story about yesterday’s rally that the “crowds were less dense and didn’t reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck’s rally.”
Perhaps you should accept the inconvenient truth about yesterday’s rally instead of telling us to find your version of the “truth” that simply doesn’t exist. Your use of wishful thinking in place of truth is weak and intellectually dishonest, as are your accusations against people here that we’re lying or being intentionally misleading. Unlike you, we’re basing our opinions on the available documented facts and evidence. Your use of projection is pathetic but not unexpected.
BTW, the photo of yesterday’s rally was taken at 12:04, which was during the actual event. To see for yourself, go to http://tinyurl.com/23e9yum then click on “Actions” and select “View Exif info,” you will from the camera data that the picture was taken at 12:04 p.m. on October 2, 2010. Of course, I’m sure tens of thousands of more people showed up by 2:00, right? If you have aerial photos indicating this, why don’t you post links to them instead of telling us to go look for them.

I know a liar plant when I hear one.
America is not a socialist country no matter how hard your trying to make it such.
The America I know is voting against socalism in November. I know lots of conservative Democrats here in Georgia, they do not like the direction the dem’s are going right now. You’ve lost them. The TPM however appeals to them as they are patriots to America not a party. powder is dry.

It’s always a delight to converse with a self-righteous ignorant prick, such as yourself Mr. My-$hit-Don’t Stink.
There’s over 300 million people is this nation Mr. Holier-Than-Thou. Your son is a private Military College – GOOD for him. Seriously, but what about the other 250,000 of his age group – are you going to just tell them to piss off? I don’t care how motivated, intelligent or capable your son is, we need a freedom loving motivated consensus – not a turd in the punch bowl. Instead of bragging about (and living through your sons accomplishments), why not go run for office at your local school board.
Also, if I’ve said something to offend you in this response, I’m sure you’re a big enough man to forgive me! /sarc.
agesilaus commented:
The shot you have of the Beck rally is really the earlier Tea Party rally with one million plus attendees. All of whom picked up their own trash.
Gman commented:
Maybe its because Ed Schultz wasn’t there
donh commented:
OMG that is so lame….Ordering everyone to stand in single file so propagandists can do some trick photogtraphy. I was in my car saturday in Maine. One of the most beautiful indian summer days. No weather excuse for people not to turn out in DC. I could hear on the radio reports the crowd noise sounded thin. News headline was “thousands” later I heard “tens of thousands” …still 1/10th the turn out for Beck….and every one was likely PAID $40 per hour to attend.

Kevin W. commented:
Florida and Alabama played at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa last night. The attendance was 101,000 people. By the looks of the above photos, it looks like not even half that many people showed up at the One Nation rally.
They are so dumb, they think they’re fooling people by wrapping themselves around the American flag, and talking about how great America is, yet they belch out the Socialist-Marxist-Communist views that they’re trying to reshape America into.
Anyone else notice how they never said one good word about any of our Founding Fathers.
Shocking huh?
Robert commented:
Judging by the shadow at the War Memorial, the picture was taken around noon.

Sarah,
While I agree with you about questioning everything, the pic of the rally yesterday came from the Huffington Post…about as liberal a blog as you can get…so I doubt they ‘d want to show a pic that wasn’t the most beneficial to their cause. Face it…the rally yesterday was a complete failure.

Hey Randy, you classless jerk, maybe when your drunk stepfather wakes from his stupor he can explain to you that the orange tint on your genitals came from the cheetos you eat when you blog. To make up for disparaging one of the more intelligent well spoken people at this site, take a base ball bat and hit yourself in the head till you are unconscious. This may improve your intelligence and make you an honor student in a preschool. You ignorant Troll.
I can’t wait for John Stewarts rally. They should call that the fool at the pool.
Scott commented:
Gee, look at the west lawn in comparison. Those few people in that area, I don’t even think they are attending the rally. I think they’re playing frisbee golf!
Folks, if the “rallies” by John Stewart and Stephen Colbert draw more people (a very real possibility), the embarassment for the liberals will be too much for them to handle. Hopefully none of them will do something drastic. If they do, they’ll just blame Glenn Beck.
jainphx commented:
Randy— Why did you bring a knife to a gun fight. You bit off a little more than you can chew. MC has been here with cogent posts for a long while now, you on the other hand?
Veryconcerned commented:
MSLSD I mean MSNBC said Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally had 65,000 people attend. They claimed the One Nation under commies rally had 75,000-125,000.
Can anyone piece the main stream liberal state run biased so-called media together now or do they need more clues?
Jeff Martin commented:
The Progressives and the liberal media will claim that the picture of the Obama rally was taken either early or very late in the day. But if you look at the position of the shadows and given that the view is from the East looking West, it would appear that the picture was taken shortly before noon. You can draw your own conclusions.
Gary commented:
I’m afraid even camera time stamps don’t solve anything — how do we know if they had their time set accurately, or even the correct time zone?
What’s more important than crowd numbers is the vast disparity in positive vs. negative messages at the two events, and the moods of the crowds. One group was bussed in, and the other gladly spent their own money. One group left the site spotless, the other trashed it. The country got a great opportunity to compare side by side these two different worldviews, and decide which one they would rather have in charge.

Joshua commented:
What is the name of the area on the left (south) side of the photos, which is virtually empty in the One Nation rally photo but completely full in the Beck rally photo?
Granted, the area on either side of the reflecting pool was much less full at the One Nation rally, but the big difference looks like it is going to come from the area to the left (south) of the trees.
RM commented:
The left is so diluted they are starting to believe their own lies. Sad really.
LizardLips commented:
Ok, will give that one to Beck’s crowd, but we left a lot more trash on the ground, damn it!
scott commented:
The Union/Socialist Rally photo was taken at 12 noon at the start of the rally. The Beck rally photo was taken at 10am at its start. Time stamps are embedded in the photo properties.
Note: The Beck rally size continued to grow as there were traffic jams getting into the city and the metro was back-up as well -
The Union rally was at it’s MAX at 12 noon and only got smaller as people left because normal people who came left when they saw that it was a Union rally with over a dozen Socialist and Communist groups attending. This was not a family event, it was full of hate and dispicable behavior. They left the entire mall and WW2 memorial TRASHED ! SHAME
scott commented:
Liberals want to claim that the 10/2 rally photo was taken too early, LMAo
Don’t you think that if they had a SINGLE PHOTO showing a larger crowd that they wouldn’t post it ? This was the crowd at it’s MAX.
Before the event ended, the last 1.5 hr – there were less than a thousand people remaining.
joseph commented:
can you post a picture from the one nation march after it got started so we can actually see the difference? Why post a pictuture of one in full swing and the other one before it started?
