Some Glenn Beck fan complained about this story, saying that the empty room was actually packed. Heres what John Hudak reported about that: Yet, for some time, the message didnt just fall on deaf ears—there were few sets of ears in the room. Suddenly, that changed. In fact, as I tweeted the above photo, I had a response from someone who snapped a picture of a much fuller room. That picture was accurate and so was mine. That picture showed a nearly full ballroom, while my picture showed an empty one. So what was the difference? The difference was that the diversity panel ran over its time. People began filling in—in droves. Why the change of heart? The diversity panel ran late and into the time slot for NRA executive Wayne LaPierre to address CPAC in the same room. Theres reality and theres right-wing reality, and never the twain shall meet.
