Will media report this tonight, or just gush and fawn over the huge crowd
again?
While you ponder, here's what was reported by Spiegel Online moments ago
(h/t Hot Air and Gateway):
++ Pop Concert for Obama Fans ++
6:33 p.m.: The tens of thousands of Obama fans are being entertained as
they await the senator. The reggae musician Patrice kicked things off,
followed by the rock band Reamonn.
I'm sure this will be part of ALL media reports concerning this
speech...not!

Oh you are so right. I have often stood in line for 3 hours and
listened to lectures on dental hygiene to hear my favorite
musicians.Don't we all?

Watch only FOX news!
Even rock concerts don;t get that big. That was a record crowd of people
for a gathering in Germany, estimated by the U.S. embassy there to be as
large as half a million. And Obama spoke last. He was the headliner. The
crowd broke into chants of "Obama! Obama! Obama!" when he took the stage.
Oh, and this was a country that said the Iraq invasion would be a mistake.
They've certainly been right more than the U.S. has lately.
You poor neocons can't stand it that Obama is a global rock star inciting
unbelievable excitement and hope while your own candidate is a pathetic bore
who only incites pity and snoozes. If it's so damn easy to get that many
people to attend your speech by having an opening rock band, then why
doesn't McSame do it? I mean, if he knows any living rock bands that
is...or if he even knows what rock and roll is.

Bitch slapping down your lies is so easy to do with the INternet these days.
The American rock icon put on a stirring concert in front of a
record-breaking crowd of 160,000 in East Berlin 20 years ago - on July 19,
1988. That was 16 months before the Wall collapsed and at a moment when
Communist East Germany was in the throes of change - Mikhail Gorbachev's
"perestroika" reforms had been let out of the bottle in the Soviet Union but
hardline East German Communist leaders wanted little to do with those
reforms.

The concert aspect of the speech may be downplayed, but Obama's very
own web site has it:

And if the media DIDN'T report it, how did you find out? Are you
parroting something Rush brought up?
And if the Berlin crowd were there ONLY for the music, why didn't the
crowd disperse when Obama appeared?

================
Newsbusters is not the mainstream media.
Why didnt SeeBS NBC ABC CNN PMSNBC report the concert that happened before
Obama crashed it?
Old Man McSame says that Americans don't care about jobs, health insurance or
the environment, they care about pandering to the wealthy elite, Bush style
big government, massive borrowing and spending and want more war and more
Bush. They want a crotchety old white guy who is so feeble that he needs to
hold his microphone with both hands.
That's why Fox News predicts a landslide for Old Man McSame in November.
The wealthy right wing elitists want old man McSame so he can be like Bush
and dole out corporate welfare, over priced no-bid military contracts, bail
outs and also borrow money from the Communist Chinese and the Muslim Saudis
to subsidize more tax cuts for the wealthy and big business, who end up
exporting their labor to China anyway. Republican corporate socialism is
the only way that so-called capitalist American business and their economy
can survive these days.
free grub after [yawn] speech
Seems fitting for the Messiah.
What is a "cemetary ", inbred? HOw can McCain draw a crowd there when none
exists?
You lose again maggot face.
---Yup, Obama becomes more persidential by the day, while Grampy
sputters ....clearly entering his dotage....
Babs, a half million is more than 160 thousand. You soooooo stupid.
Holy fucking hell. Exactly when did you become so completely fucking
ignorant of reality that you actually just tried to dispute a claim that
200,000 people is the largest gathering in Germany's history with the
counter that there were 160,000 people in a gathering in Germany? And you
call that a "bitch slappng" retort? This is just so goddamned ridiculous I
can't help but pity you and your equally clueless brethen. Come back to
Earth, neocons. You're floating away...
The neo-Con-Artists are not very Creative.
I saw the speech on tv, and it appeared that almost EVERYONE was
watching Obama as he spoke. I didn't hear any reggae music or rock
concert while he was speaking and everyone was listening.
My post was of a concert 20 years ago with ticket prices sky high as
Springsteen concerts are the most expensive.
Of course you can get 200,000 people to show up for a free concert and food
for the Singers and Obama 20 years later
.DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Thats because both the Concerts were before Obama you stupid inbred
fucking imbecile. Concert goers were already there you buffoon./
When you're dealing with Babs you have to realize she has her own reality
that comes from drinking large quantities of wine that she buys by the
box at WalMart. She's an overlarge slug of a women who lives in a roach
infested trailer in the swamps of the Mississippi bayou who drinks
herself into oblivion on a daily basis.
Poor widdle racist. You just can't stand the fact that our next
president will be a black man. Not an old, old white man. Well,
tough luck, racist. You repug hitched your wagon to the racism star
when Johnson got the civil rights act passed. You thought you were
safe for ever but now the old racists are dying.
Well, good riddance. I'm sure Hell will be full to the brim. So what
are you going to do? Get used to loosing.
When LOsing an argument with facts, Liberals always pull out the race
card.Even Hillary & Billary could not escape the race card by liberal maggot
slike you this election year.
Wen Jesse jackson cals Blacks Niggers, is he a racits you fucking skank
eating maggot faced inbred?
If they were there for the music only then why didn't they leave
before Obama spoke? You're such a stupid fucking cunt, you
just keep making more of an ass of yourself.

Obama will 'whip' you guys back into shape.
Getting rusty with ye oldde McCain, are we?
Why would they leave before Obama's bribers handed out the free grub after
the speech for?
really? So wy are his poll numbers falling by the day?
No Poll Bounce from Obama's Tour Abroad
Thursday, July 24, 2008 5:57 PM
Obama, the sampling shows, is hanging on to just a thin head-to-head lead
over Republican challenger Sen. John McCain, 41 percent to 40 percent.
Interestingly enough, those numbers are down from the 45 percent to 41
percent edge he had over McCain just a month ago.
Gee i thought you were going to tell us why Jackson is not a racist for
using the Nigger word to describe his black followers.
Thanks for debunking the leftists lies that Half a Million people attended
the Obama concert crashing event.
---When was the last time Grampy addressed a crowd of 200k of anybody?
Obama shows he's exceptionally capable in foreign affairs, Grampy stews
and gums because Obama didn't fall on his face like he and his lapdogs
expected.
---Hopefully, his SS will start rounding up conservatives after election
day....
Why does Hussein have to go to socalist countries to get crowds of
socialists to faint swoon and scream for the Obamamarxist?

Isn't 160,000 less that 200,000? Springsteen is a major leaguer - the
opening acts for Obama were small potatoes. The crowd shouted for
Obama and came because of Obama according to all reports - the
applause for the opening rock bands was polite. Why not use this cite:
Pink Floyd and Roger Waters had an audience of 250,000 for The Wall at
the Berlin Wall. That said, Obama is only a candidate - Pink Floyd and
Springsteen are superstars.
WB Yeats
---Well, gosh, wasn't that what Grampy's handlers wanted him to do, so
he'd "fall on his face?" Backfired big time, didn't it?
Why is Obama so proud to have the workd see 200,000 Socalist all drooling
over Obama's marxist prpoganda he spewed. Ever wonder why Socilaists swoon
and faint over another country's Socialist candiate?
Your quote : " Er, and you think SEVENTY-FIVE FUCKING THOUSAND PEOPLE
showed up to hear ".
My Quote : "Thanks for debunking the leftists lies that Half a Million
people attended the concert"
I see you are so fucking stupid you cant even remember what the fuck you
said , nor comprehend simple deductive reasoning statements like mine, you
fucking pile of rotten cunt cheese.

No. Even the Brits saw it as laughable publicity stunt and mocked the
Messiah appropriately.

From The Times
July 25, 2008
He ventured forth to bring light to the world
The anointed one's pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action - and
a blessing to all his faithful followers
Gerard Baker
And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the
Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the
shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the
wilderness.
The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family,
offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an
African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of
righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a
little blow.
When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of
Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet
Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard
and said among themselves: "Verily, who is this Child that he opens our
hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?"
In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary,
wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of
Working Class Whites.
And so it was, in the fullness of time, before the harvest month of the
appointed year, the Child ventured forth - for the first time - to bring the
light unto all the world.
He travelled fleet of foot and light of camel, with a small retinue that
consisted only of his loyal disciples from the tribe of the Media. He
ventured first to the land of the Hindu Kush, where the
Taleban had harboured the viper of al-Qaeda in their bosom, raining terror
on all the world.
And the Child spake and the tribes of Nato immediately loosed the Caveats
that had previously bound them. And in the great battle that ensued the
forces of the light were triumphant. For as long as the
Child stood with his arms raised aloft, the enemy suffered great blows and
the threat of terror was no more.
From there he went forth to Mesopotamia where he was received by the great
ruler al-Maliki, and al-Maliki spake unto him and blessed his Sixteen Month
Troop Withdrawal Plan even as the imperial warrior Petraeus tried to destroy
it.
And lo, in Mesopotamia, a miracle occurred. Even though the Great Surge of
Armour that the evil Bush had ordered had been a terrible mistake, a waste
of vital military resources and doomed to end in disaster, the Child's very
presence suddenly brought forth a great victory for the forces of the light.
And the Persians, who saw all this and were greatly fearful, longed to speak
with the Child and saw that the Child was the bringer of peace. At the
mention of his name they quickly laid aside their intrigues and beat their
uranium swords into civil nuclear energy ploughshares.
From there the Child went up to the city of Jerusalem, and entered through
the gate seated on an ass. The crowds of network anchors who had followed
him from afar cheered "Hosanna" and waved great palm fronds and strewed them
at his feet.
In Jerusalem and in surrounding Palestine, the Child spake to the Hebrews
and the Arabs, as the Scripture had foretold. And in an instant, the lion
lay down with the lamb, and the Israelites and Ishmaelites ended their long
enmity and lived for ever after in peace.
As word spread throughout the land about the Child's wondrous works, peoples
from all over flocked to hear him; Hittites and Abbasids; Obamacons and
McCainiacs; Cameroonians and Blairites.
And they told of strange and wondrous things that greeted the news of the
Child's journey. Around the world, global temperatures began to decline, and
the ocean levels fell and the great warming was over.
The Great Prophet Algore of Nobel and Oscar, who many had believed was the
anointed one, smiled and told his followers that the Child was the one
generations had been waiting for.
And there were other wonderful signs. In the city of the Street at the Wall,
spreads on interbank interest rates dropped like manna from Heaven and rates
on credit default swaps fell to the ground as dead birds from the almond
tree, and the people who had lived in foreclosure were able to borrow again.
Black gold gushed from the ground at prices well below $140 per barrel. In
hospitals across the land the sick were cured even though they were
uninsured. And all because the Child had pronounced it.
And this is the testimony of one who speaks the truth and bears witness to
the truth so that you might believe. And he knows it is the truth for he saw
it all on CNN and the BBC and in the pages of The New York Times.
Then the Child ventured forth from Israel and Palestine and stepped onto the
shores of the Old Continent. In the land of Queen Angela of Merkel, vast
multitudes gathered to hear his voice, and he preached to them at length.
But when he had finished speaking his disciples told him the crowd was
hungry, for they had had nothing to eat all the hours they had waited for
him.
And so the Child told his disciples to fetch some food but all they had was
five loaves and a couple of frankfurters. So he took the bread and the
frankfurters and blessed them and told his disciples to feed the multitudes.
And when all had eaten their fill, the scraps filled twelve baskets.
Thence he travelled west to Mount Sarkozy. Even the beauteous Princess Carla
of the tribe of the Bruni was struck by awe and she was great in love with
the Child, but he was tempted not.
On the Seventh Day he walked across the Channel of the Angles to the ancient
land of the hooligans. There he was welcomed with open arms by the once
great prophet Blair and his successor, Gordon the Leper, and his successor,
David the Golden One.
And suddenly, with the men appeared the archangel Gabriel and the whole host
of the heavenly choir, ranks of cherubim and seraphim, all praising God and
singing: "Yes, We Can."
Lets see. 160,000 paying an arm & Leg for Springsteen tickets, or 200K 20
years later for free concerts.
Gee.
Did those people leave when the music was over?
No. They stayed for the real reason they were there.
A free concert by a local band who never draws even 1000. Are you saying
they were the reason for the crowd?
You might wish to check on the cost of the Springsteen - it was in
East Berlin and didn't cost that much. The Pink Floyd which drew more
folks was free. The group that opened for Obama usually draws about a
thousand in a good venue. Whatever else you might thing about Obama,
he knows how to draw a crowd.

I guess the Germans like to wave American flags when reggae bands play.
I didn't know Jamaican music was so popular in Germany?
Don't a lot of political rallies start with concerts? I don't think
that is unusual.
I hear they are considered enemy combatants.
