According to the Wall Street Journal (and the AP): "Barack Obama attracted 100,000 people at a Saturday rally here, his biggest crowd ever at a U.S. event."

As much as I would love to go to a Barack rally, this looks absolutely miserable to me. I mean, those people in the middle-- what are they doing?! Can they even hear?

After seeing Spinal Tap somewhere around 1990 quit going to any event at which I could not spit on the performer if I so chose.

Now I've never spit on a performer, lobbed a few empty beer cans maybe, heckled Robyn Hitchcock once, (you have not heard Freebird until you've heard it sung by a nasal English songwriter with 3/4 of Mission of Burma backing him up. 10 minutes in we were begging for forgiveness) but never spit on a performer even though many deserved much worse. I just reserve my ability to do so.

Oh, yeah.

I can easily understand why some folks wouldn't want to go to an event like this. Makes perfect sense. I was just speculating on why folks go in spite of it.

Better than a Palin rally,

Better than a Palin rally, though, where the crush of the crowd might trap you next to a burning cross.

Wow!!!

that looks amazingly similar to some of the film footage of Hitler's speeches. Can you say deja vu?

...if it was a Palin rally, right????

Yea, your right. Ha ha. Looks just like the Nuremberg rally save for the swastikas, the endless military ranks of Aryans, and oh yea, Hitler. Moving On...

The Hitler comparisons are desperate and sad

This also looks like a hot 4th of July at Coney Island. Nothing TERRIBLY sinister.
