MORE HATERS vs LOVERS? ANGER WINS OVER LOGIC?

On Saturday October, 2nd, the One Nation Rally took place in Washington D.C. at the National Mall. The rally was formed by democrats looking to rival the rally held by conservative Glenn Beck. There are no official One Nation Rally attendance numbers that have been released, and more than likely there won’t be any.

However, crowd estimates by a non-partisan satellite company said there was approximately 87,000 people in attendance at the event. The One Nation Rally organizers put the number closer to 200,000 but most people that were there probably would not agree with these totals.

The Glenn Beck Rally which was held on August 28th, by Beck’s estimates had close to 500,000 people in attendance. This number appears to obviously be inaccurate. However, from talking to people that were on hand at both rallies, the Glenn Beck Rally was a lot more crowded. We don’t even know for sure what the numbers were at either rally, and probably won’t ever find out. It is quite obvious that conservatives will say that Beck’s rally had a larger crowd, while liberals will more than likely side with the crowds at the One Nation Rally.

Does it really matter?
