Earlier today, I told some of my right wing friends that this One Nation Rally was tame compared to the Tea Parties.

I was dead wrong.

Killgore has just touched the tip of the ice berg. The photos depict an ocean of bad craziness from Truthers, to actual Socialists, ANSWER, Bush haters, and foreign policy know-nothings.

There are a few differences worth noting. Today’s rally had no signs threatening violence. It’s a common theme at Tea Parties. There were a few Dem politicians but most of them stayed away. Dem politicians don’t have to answer to Al Sharpton or Harry Belafonte. Republicans must do what Beck and Rush want or else.
Although there were radicals at today’s rally I didn’t see any militants. The Oathkeepers and militias are common at Tea Parties.
Today’s rally was radical and stupid but the Tea Parties are more extreme and potentially a source of violence/terrorism.
