UPDATE 1530 ET: More photos by Stacy:

Andrew Breitbart talks to some of those black Tea Party activists the MSM say don’t exist.

Dave Weigel of Slate and Michael Moynihan of Reason magazine say, “We’re the media your mother warned you about.”

Sarah D. is another lovestruck Stephen Kruiser groupie.

UPDATE: Tito “The Builder” Munoz video.

Welcome, Instapundit readers!

[updated @1316] America’s youth speaks!

CAPITOL HILL–First strike crowd pan, at 11 AM, with a couple of hours to the rally.

Stacy is pacing about, muttering, erroneously in my opinion, that Beck’s Restoring Honor rally was ill-conceived and will hurt attendance. Rather a narrow view, that. The light mist falling is supposed to taper off around noon.

DaTechGuy just arrived, and reports a throng at the Washington Monument.

The good news about the Tea Parties is that there is no central coordination. The bad news about the Tea Parties is that the entropic influence of Erik Telford cannot be stopped.


Back at you at noon. Rain is abating, by the power of my pink Hawaiian print. The crowd down at the Washington monument is supposed to commence marching here. I predict a crowd size similar to the Kill the Bill Rally a couple of centuries ago in March.

    Apparently Mr. Johnson wasn’t at Wing Nut’s rally, I WAS and there were several hundred thousands in attendance. If you’re gonna spout at least have the facts.

    The 350,000 in attendance at the Beck rally probably ate into the 100,000 that turned up for the 9/12 event.

    The turn out to Glean gathering was 600,000 people. The gathering Glean has; was massage of hope. The hope that this great country was built on with our hard working hands; of our true pioneers grass roots.
    TV, and government tells us we know nothing, and God is nothing .Shame on the Government and TV dictating to us {like a dictator} as thou we are dumb.As though we do not understand our God freedoms right ..Do not understand the true meaning morals and values.To see us gather together shows us we still have hoped, strength. TV, and government is afraid of this kind of conservative gatherings.They want to have control over us and have big Government.
    I guess my ancestors die in vain all their hard work for our freedom, fore the future generation was in vain. To be spite on if we don’t say anything. If we allow big government to control us we just hide our heads then; I guess, we are cowards, and deserve what comes our way.
