Glenn Beck first packed an estimated 5000 followers into Safeco Field, and by now is receiving the key to the city of Mt. Vernon.
I walked around the Safeco Field and finally encountered Beck's lineup of followers, and some protesters across the street.
I headed up through the parking garage, and then back downtown where I encountered religous fanatics and cults.
Before I even got to any of this, I met a homeless artist under a bridge.
Between the Beck fans (not the musician) wandering around before & after the "event," the cruise ship tourists around the Pike Market, those crazy "Duck" vehicles that give tours, and the pot smoking bunch on Westlake Mall, Seattle was a bit crazy today.
Exhibit A: Glen Beck crowd
Exhibit B - The First Amendment Rights of their Vehicles
Exhibit C: The Protesters on the "Left"

Sweetie, There is always Canada.

New Rule: when Democrats and other assorted liberals picket a conservative rally like this, we must all have fun and laugh a lot, and look a lot more inviting and warm than the sourpusses coming to see Beck. Of course we're serious about our cause, but the right response to these wackos is just what we learned in Footloose: when confronted by those with sticks up their holier than thou asses, it is ALWAYS best to dance.

Slugbug, great stuff. Some of your best yet.
Are the Glenn Beck fans saying they want to move to Canada because Obama is president? Aren't they worried about universal healthcare in Canada? Wouldn't some right wing South American Country fit their agenda better?

Great photo album!
Agreed about South America rather than Canada, kayakbiker.

I feel like I live in a schizophrenic state! One of the most liberal, yet fringed by utter locos!

Slugbug, once you join KarenDC in that Nova Scotia fishing town, you know I'm joining both of you too. :)
