Of the past 100 years, my favorite President is Calvin Coolidge. Coolidge took office after the death of President Harding.

Why? He should be the example formodern dayconservatives, not Regan. Coolidge cut government spending by 50% and his fiscal policies led to a little era of American History known as "The Roaring Twenties". It was a period of great economic wealth and society moved forward greatly has a whole. The only mistake that he made was not dealing with the country's agricultural problems a little bit more, but either than this he wasa great president.

Taking into account presidents from all of American History...i still don't think that i could choose just one. Washington was great,Lincoln was great,Coolidge was great. We've had a lot of good ones.

Look into ita little bit more, look at the aerial pictures of the event. I can asure you that much more than 87,000 people attended Beck's rally.

NBC news reported 300000. A spokesperson for the National Parks Service reported between 300000 and 325000. Joe Scarborough from MSNBC reported 500000. Although, that last one seems extremely unlikley/impossible.

For everything in my post, look at this link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20100830/cm_yblog_upshot/glenn-beck-rally-sparks-debate-over-crowd-size

Except that if you look at the numbers being thrown out there, they really have no evidence to back them up. People were basing many of these numbers on nothing more than a hunch. Hell Michelle Bachmann threw out over a million. Most of the outlets merely took these inflated numbers at face value something the NYT's and NBC did.

If you look where the 87,000 came from you can see CBS got an independent firm to calculate the numbers from three different angles, the 87,000 is merely the average of the three estimates. They were one of the few people that did an actual scientific calculation on it.

The National Parks Service used to be the agency that counted/estimated crowds that gathered on the mall for things like this, despite the fact the they are not contracted to count these types of crowds any more i would still trust their estimate more than that of CBS. CBS is a very, very liberal news media outlet and this rally was a very very conservative gathering.

Therefore, of course CBS's estimate is going to be so much lower than the estimates of many other news organizations, agencies etc. etc. etc.

um...what?

You can't be serious.

Colbert and Stewart did not have more attendee's than Beck's rally and to say that those who attended Beck's rally were more vocal and were stirred up in a negative way is just stupid. Clearly you don't actually know anything about the rally that Beck had. The rally was not about even about politics or motivating people to become politically active, it was about religion.

Also the estimates for Glenn Beck's attendee's are at least 300000 and some say there may have been much more than that. The Stewart/Colbert Rally attracted in the range of 215000 people.

Are we talking about the Rally to Restore honor?

It wasn't anywhere near 300,000, hell that's more than Martin Luther King Jr's attendance in the same spot.

Beck's show isn't intentionally trying to be funny, he's only comical because of the sewage that comes out of his mouth.

HoolaHoopMan

I think he knows what he is saying is garbage, he isn't uneducated ya know!

Dumb? I don't know, his views on Global warming and evolution would certainly point to him being scientifically illiterate. He's also a conspiracy theorist. I certainly wouldn't call him "smart".

I can't speak for his views on evolution (i have no idea what they are) but I'm guessing that he does not believe in Global Warming. The existence of a great human impact on Global Warming can be easily debated, the fact that Beck would argue against the likes of Al Gore does not, under any circumstance, make him "scientifically illiterate", or an idiot.

As far as being a conspiracy theorist goes...well...i can see where you're coming from.

[QUOTE="Genetic_Code"]I think Glenn Beck should win as he knows how to stir up a crowd more so than Stewart or Colbert.mindstorm
Define "stir up." In a negative light that causes people to do crazy things? Yes. In a positive light that causes people to get along and be civil? Not so much. To say, compare their rallies, Stewart and Colbert had many more attendees but Beck's attendees were . . . more vocal.

um...what?
