Noting that they began planning their rally in April, organizers said they were not responding to a march organized by Glenn Beck, which drew enormous crowds to the front of the Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28. But they acknowledged that their hope was to draw an even larger crowd to Saturday’s event.The term socialist nuts, however, not so relative. It appears to be dead-on accurate in fact:
Significant areas of the National Mall that had been filled during Mr. Beck’s rally were empty.
