Empty seats at Obama rallies? Na...

Oh wait, I do see a few there...

A couple there...

Maybe, in the nose bleeds, there are some seats...

This has to be photoshopped, right?

Look at all those empty seats in the upper bowl of UCLA's Pauley Pavilion.

Clearly only 10,000 there...pfft, I laugh at your 10,000!

I see ground, obviously a failure.

I bet there are more potatoes than people in Idaho, so this doesn't impress me.

Wait, is that really 20,000 strong for Obama? Can't be, I was just told this is a media creation. :)

1. Just remember.

You didn't see what you thought you saw.

And if you did see it, well it was not real anyway.

6. You have to squint to see most of them. A magnifying glass would help.

3. It's just incredible that in 1 day, he had nearly 53-55K people turn out to see him.

Amazing.

4. No, there were empty seats. It's clear.

_______________x (insert name of Hillbot here) says so.

7. Look, stop calling Hillary supporters

Hillbots. For Pete's sake. Or shills. Or braindead. Or idiots. F'in' idiots, even. And I know both sides use these terms and worse. What is accomplished yelling at each other like a crowd of squabbling kids?

13. Well, you disagree, obviously, but Hillbots is an appropriate term.

It refers to Clinton supporters who spend all their time posting information supporting their candidate or opposing other candidates, whether that information is accurate or not. And I suspect that some of them may in fact be on Hillary's payroll.

And what I hope to accomplish in using the term is to expose them and maybe even embarrass them so that they will stop.

5. Incredible.

Who would ever have thought that a presidential candidate could draw crowds like that?

11. here's what you do:

You look at the average size of an individual in any given picture of a rally. The smaller, the more people. If you have some kind of GOP event, and you can onlysee maybe 24 people in the shot, that means that they didn't dare to pull back any further or else the empty spaces would show! :rofl:
