Rally To Restore Sanity Attendance Outdoes Glenn Beck Rally
Rally To Restore Sanity Draws 200,000; Outdoes Glenn Beck Rally
Jon Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity” on Saturday started out as a spoof of Glenn Beck’s “Rally to Restore Honor,” but the parody proved bigger than the real thing.
CBS News reports Stewart’s event drew 215,000 people to the National Mall in Washington, based on a crowd estimate from AirPhotosLive.com.
The same company, which examines aerial photos of crowds to gauge attendance, estimated between 78,000 and 96,000 people attended Beck’s rally in August.
