There’s not really much you can say about this claim, beyond “suuuuure.” Ed Schultz, who attracts just over a quarter of Glenn Beck’s viewership (700,000 vs. 2.6 million viewers), claimed he could out-rally the Fox News host, whose “Restoring Honor” event attracted an estimated 300,000 people to the National Mall on Saturday. “I guarantee you, I could do more than 300,000!” claimed the man who just last week found out he didn’t make the cut for an MSNBC promo. “It ain’t a big deal!” Schultz also claimed that the crowd size at Beck’s rally has absolutely no bearing on Democrats’ prospects in November. Wishful thinking on both counts, it seems. Audio and transcript via Brian Maloney at the Radio Equalizer: Hold it right there! Before we get to her answer, I could get every union head in this country, I could organize every progressive group in this country, the main bloggers. This could be The Ed March. Folks, 300,000 people on the heels of six months’ promotion, that ain’t no big shakes! This is no sign that there’s going to be any big turn of events when it comes to the ballot box and there will be no Democrats in the congress. This is no tea leaf about, “well gosh, they’re coming in November.” Six months’ promotion, NBC News says 300,000 people. I bet I could do that! I bet I could do that with this radio show and my TV show and six months’ production, six months’ promotion, if I had the budget I could equal that march. I know I could! I know I could! I know that I could get Leo Gerard, i could get the Service Employees International Union, I could get AFSCME, I could get all these–I guarantee you, I could do more than 300,000! It ain’t a big deal!
