Listening to some of the people talk (not the speakers, spectators), many of them are completely out of their mind. It basically felt like I walked into a Fox News convention. People regurgitating the same baseless crap that you hear on Hannity or Beck on any average night.

A couple gems:
"Communist censorship like they have in China will come to America. You open a NYTimes here and it's 60 pages, in China it's about 7."

"We're all going to be working for Mexicans some day."

"Sarah Palin for President 2012!!"

The majority of people that I saw in attendance were probably over 50 and male. I noticed maybe 5 people that were a race other than white. At least half the people had "Don't Tread on Me" flags and I would bet $100 that most of them didn't have a clue the meaning of the flags.
you should have done what you always do and walk around telling everyone else how ignorant and uninformed they are

so...which was it?

"Who went? I'm sure you aren't all internet whiners and at least a handful of you guys were there support the causes many of you preach so strongly about... I was."

or

"I had a meeting in Downtown Crossing. Figured I'd check out what all the commotion is about.


were you there to support limited government and low taxes and adherence to the Constitution...or to count how many non-whites showed up because you happened to be in the area on business?
