"60,000 in Florida to see Sarah Palin"??? Did I hear that right on Morning Joe?

[renie408]

I could have sworn I heard Joe say that there were 60,000 trying to get in to see Sarah Palin. Did he mean 6,000? He said his mother was crying because she couldn't get tickets. Then he said that they had to move the rally into the civic center, but he said that had a capacity of 10,000. I am assuming I heard him wrong, but it is bugging me.

1. Except for yesterday, I stopped listening to the Schmo

he is a tool of the Reich-wing, simple.

4. Lately they have been kind of anti-GOP, but this morning it was a Repuke orgy.

I only STARTED to switch between them and CNN about ten days ago. Up until this morning, they were actually taking some pretty nasty shots at both McCain and Palin. Then this morning it was like they had some kind of 'return to the fold' thing going on.

17. They were attacking the GOP before 7 a.m. After that, they went back to pumping them up

Morning Joe and Co. change their POV's so frequently I can only presume that the producer rolls a die or consults a magic eight ball during commericals to see which POV will be expressed for each upcoming segment.

2. Didn't hear it but McPain's been lying about the number in attendance

They claim 20K but the venue only holds 10K and it was half empty. They grouped all the people on one side to make it look full.

6. Debbie Wasserman Schultz says she knows the areas Palin is going

to and its all hard core Republican.

She isn't trying to convert anybody, she is simply solidifying her base and regaining her shattered confidence after she realized how clueless she is.

10. Saw that and posted the video from last night's show...a few posts down... : )

16. Nice...

Its good to know what the strategy is.

3. Rachel should expose his misstatements

5. You heard it right. I caught it too but surely he is wrong and

should be called out on it.

7. Yesterday in Clearwater: 5,000

According to Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/wtMostRead/idUSTRE49602520081007?sp=true

<snip>
"I am just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way you and I see America," Palin said of Obama at a rally of 5,000 supporters in Florida's heavily Republican city of Clearwater."

8. They thought she was that funny lady on SNL

9. Rachel Maddow had on her show last night...

Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D - FL) who stated that in an "act of desperation", the McCain camp (around 7:00 in the video) is playing it safe by sending Palin to the most conservative/Republican communities.

Interesting video about McCain cutting on Medicare...Enjoy, if possible...lol! ;)

11. Saturday in Lady Lakes: 25-30,000

According to Miami Herald: http://www.miamiherald.com/979/story/696050.html

<snip>
"But Palin drew thousands more than the estimated 20,000 people that turned out for Bush. A fire rescue official estimated the crowd at 25,000 to 30,000, while the Republican Party of Florida pegged the audience at twice that size."

12. Is Palin wearing the same white suit...

she wore yesterday? Or have I gone bananas. I normally don't care about this, I just want to make sure that all the traveling and jet-lag and flight-anxiety meds I've taken haven't totally wrecked my brain.

[CitizenPatriot]

13. I read they GAVE tickets away

and still half the people didn't show up

for whatever that is worth

I hardly think there are that many stupid Floridians who want to see their medicaid erased by these white supremists / extremists.

sorry, I am all done being pleasant about those two monsters.

[Hutzpa]

14. Yup! he said it, 60,000

lying prick, the Republicans has to tell a lie and they sneak it in when
they think you're not listening.

Same thing happened yesterday on Tweety's show, this black Republican
strategist claimed that Obama said something outrageous, can't remember
the exact phrase, anyway Tweety called him out on it and he looked like
a complete idiot blinking all over the place.....:rofl:

15. It's a Monty Python sketch.

Husband: Yes, we'd like a bed, a double bed, and I wondered if you'd got one for about fifty pounds.

Mr Verity: Oh no, I'm afraid not, sir. Our cheapest bed is eight hundred pounds, sir.

Husband & Wife: Eight hundred pounds?

Mr Lambert: Excuse me, sir, but before I go, I ought to have told you that Mr Verity does tend to exaggerate. Every figure he gives you will be ten times too high.

Husband: I see.

Mr Lambert: Otherwise he's perfectly all right.

Husband: I see. Er... your cheapest double bed then is eighty pounds?

Mr Verity: Eight hundred pounds, yes, sir.

Husband: I see.

18. If they were talking about Jacksonville. She is here this morning.

The rally is at the Landing downtown. I'm not sure if it would even hold 6000, much less 60000.

It started at 7:00am. It was not moved to the 14,000 seat arena.

[opihimoimoi]

19. I Wuz there...it was more like 350 tops.....had more security than citizens...

Nah...jus joking....

Come, we go count empty beer bottles.....

[L0oniX]

20. I guess going to a freak show gives them idiots something to do.

[mucifer]

21. There actually were 60 million people there.

Stop your liberal propaganda!
