Editor's notes: Midknight Review has and can demonstrate an attendance estimate to the Glenn Beck rally of 840,000 with another 200,000 watching on home computers and several thousand more watching C-SPAN. Understand that our estimate is the only one give on the Net with a detailed explanation of how we arrived at the number. CBS News estimated the crowd at 87,000 which is just too stupid. NBC admitts to 300,000. Beck speaks of between 500,000 and 600,000 but Midknight Review gives the crowd between 750,000 and 840,000 plus the at home viewing audience. We are sticking to our estimate.

Labor and liberal groups to hold Oct. 2 rally on Mall to counter Beck, Tea Party

The move to conduct a rally is rather moronish. Al Sharpton already had a rally and wound up with some 3,000. We have not seen a full view of the rally (gee, we wonder why). The 3,000 came from the first comments of Sharpton . Since then, he numbers have increased along with with his ego.

What if they give this rally and no one comes ?? Seriously. What if there are only 150,000 in attendance ?? Or, 50,000. What if we find out that the union threatened their people into attending. - jds

Labor leaders, liberal religious leaders and the NAACP will hold a rally on the National Mall on October 2, one month before the fall midterm elections, in an attempt to show they too have political clout and momentum in response to last Saturday’s massive gathering of Tea Party types led by Fox News host Glenn Beck.

“The AFL-CIO is determined that the Tea Party and its corporate backers are not going to get the final word,” said AFL-CIO executive vice president Arlene Holt Baker. “We will expect tens of thousands of union families to come.” “We are fueled by hope and not hate,” Holt Baker said.

The AFL-CIO announced the rally Wednesday as part of an advertising blitz they are launching this coming Labor Day weekend, though AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka declined to say how much the organization is spending on the TV ads. Trumka will be joined by President Obama Monday in Milwaukee at a Labor Day event, and other top AFL-CIO officials will appear at political rallies in California and Ohio. Trumka did say that the TV ad running this weekend is not political, and showed the ad to reporters.

The ad shows pictures of workers, accompanied by upbeat music, and ends with the tag line: “Happy Labor Day America. You have a voice. Make it heard.” Holt Baker said that the Oct. 2 rally would also be apolitical, which is similar to how Beck, who gathered a crowd estimated to be between 100,000 and 300,000, described his event. . . . . .

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

Midknight Review -- new and revised

The Unions are jealous of Beck so they are going to have their own rally -- October 2nd.
