To get a million attendees would have been momumental undertaking of enormous cost.

Yup, it cost Beck millions of dollars and tons of airtime just to get 87,000 attendees.

Imagine how much effort it would take to get more than that? You'd have to be a Jon Stewart or Louis Farrakhan.

The Birthers: Still Here, Sort Of
Posted Monday, October 25, 2010 9:07 AM | By David Weigel

A friend points out that Phil Berg's long-delayed "Obama Birth Certificate March on Washington" happened over the weekend, with the man who filed the first lawsuit challenging the president's citizenship gathering a crowd of -- literally! -- dozens of people at the Capitol.

The laughter in SNL's audience was distinctly muted at that joke. Why? I'm encountering liberals all around the country who are despondent about the coming loss of the House and fully expect the Birthers to impeach Obama. They're not crazy; several Republicans who questioned Obama's citizenship on the trail are going to end up in Congress. I think the Republicans are just pandering and avoiding town hall boos. But even as the people who invented the conspiracy fade, they can admire how they've pushed a meme that will be with us, likely, forever.

We are a bit close to the trees on the Birther movement. When I bring it up among friends, I have to give an extended explanation of what I'm talking about. The SNL reference might have been a bit too esoteric.

This really is an esoteric little political arena we've gotten involved in.

Oh yeah, half the people I mention Birtherism to have never heard of it at all. The other half have *heard* of it, but know nothing beyond the basic 'Some conspiracy theorists think Obama was born in Kenya.'

Dr Kate, you asked if they mentioned LTC Terry Lakin yesturday. Before Berg started his speech he asked for all veterans to come up on the stage and give their names, home, and division of the service they were in. After they were finished a young woman got up and said she was representing Terry Lakin. She told everyone that she had some flyers to hand out. People seemed to be aware of Terry because there was some clapping. I later went up to her to get a flyer and I gave her one that I was handing out. So two of us were handing out flyers of Terry.

Attilisdaughter, that is me in the picture but I hope that you all will ignore it and get it out of yur minds because it is a terible picture. I didn’t smile because I thought they were only taking my sign. I think the sun was in my eyes, too. I wish I could have carried more signs. I had ideas for more.

One thing I thought of about the rally. Although there wasn’t a huge turnout a lot of tourists were listening to the speeches. they were interested in what was being said. There were some moving around in our crowd and a lot standing in front of the steps of the capitol. With the loud mike they could hear way over there. These people didn’t just listen for a minute and move on. Most of them stood there and listened for over one and a half hours! Most of them may not have been aware before yesturday of Obama’s ineligibility. All of us who went to the rally knew of course , or we wouldn’t have gone. But Mr Berg reached almost as many people as were at the rally on purpose!

i just wrote a long post about the Berg rally today and it didn’t get posted because of Internet Explorer. I’m having problems with them.
First, Quantum and Papoose, I am very glad that my Italian grandfather quit the catholic Church. he was supposed to have said that he couldn’t afford the cost of purgatory.

I got home a little while ago from the rally. It was good. there were about 200 people there. The program was nice. I got a later start than I wanted to but it didn’t matter because he didn’t start it on time. He said he thought his rally was sabotaged because he took a 7 AM train that was supposed to arrive in DC at 9. It stopped on the tracks for no apparent reason and didn’t arrive until after 11! We were blessed with a gorgeous day, sunny and about 75. After the speeches he had an open mike for people to ask questions. Some obot got up and really blasted him and the rally, saying the attendance was pathetic. He said he sees more people than that at his supermarket. Some patriots were arguing with him and ready to light into him but Mr. Berg very effectively held them back, saying he had his right to free speech, etc. For a minute I thought we were going to have our first ever tea party brawl! I had my sign about the dual citizen issue and it was the only one of the kind there. A lot of people took pictures of it. Berg and everyone on the stage saw it because I made sure they saw it. I had a chance to talk to Mr. Berg and told him what I thought we really need to have is a real Velvet Revolution. He didn’t seem to know what I was talking about. He gave me his card and told me to email him about it. So I will.
I have to hand it to Americans. There were people there from a lot of states, some traveling a long way. One lady drove for over 20 hours from Texas to get there.

So friends, how are we going to get huge crowds to DC to finally get the usurper out of our House? I realize that we are a vast country and distances are just too far for a lot of people. People like Berg are just not well enough known to draw really large crowds. But we have to figure something out, and soon. In my opinion, people on the East coast should be able to get there most of the time. Think of how many people live just on the East coast! Maybe we should have 3 rallies on the same day, an east coast, a mid America one and a west coast one. We should unite as one large geographic area before they divide us into several ones and we can’t get together as one big country.

As always:

STOP THEM COLD!!
ARREST THE CRIMINALS!!

No Nonsense Nancy is the woman in the photo in the WND post. She apologizes for not smiling.

She looks like she could use the services of a good Constitutional Hydrologist. Or some bran muffins.

Ya know, JY, there were all kinds of articles written during the Bush years about Barbara Bush's real father being Aleister Crowley, the black magician. Even Rense got in on the action. While I am mighty tempted to believe it, because I hate the Bush crime family and think that Barbara does look like Crowley, I don't.

I don't believe Sarah, either.

Remember Philly Birther Philip Berg? Us neither. But this video we found on Wonkette reminded us, the Philadelphia 9/11-Truth-Obama-is-Kenyan lawyer guy is still alive and kickin’, in spite of the CIA’s various likely plots against him.

Phil, it looks like you're yesterday's news.

"WE THE PEOPLE can, by way of the largest Rally ever in Washington, DC, have a ‘Peaceful Revolution’ and force Obama to prove he is ‘Constitutionally Eligible’ or resign from office."
.
Kates rally had 3, Mannigs rally had 12, so Berg's rally was biggest so far, this is a growing movement, by the year 2046 it will grow to 2,456 people, then we can remove the usuper. Obama will be gone before 2047 guaranteed!

There seems to be more than 57 people at the Restore Sanity/Fear rally.
