Why did the march only attract 25 thousand?

There are tons of freepers out there, they had Faux News promoting it 24/7, Beck was in full form the past four weeks, and they could only get 25 thousand to march against him.

Surly Beck must be shattered? The crowd was at the very low end of expecatations, in all seriousness what went wrong and how will Beck spin this??

I was just so surprised at how small the crowd was.

I was also so surprised to see the suck up job the Washington post did for the march.

25 thousand people for a march with this march publicity, that is really bad.

What will beck and faux do now? His tears and acting like a clown anit working?

What will his next step be?

3. Estimates have varied, I think 60-70k is about right...but that's still quite low

I find it kinda heartening actually.

2. It's Obama's fault

No idea how, but I bet that's their excuse.

5. Despite all the free passes these freaks receive from

M$Greedia, they're a fringe element of ignorant racists in the main. Rational people continue to avoid them like the plague.

6. Two Million - remember that number

That was FreedomWerkz and Crybaby Beck's target number - they failed to deliver.
