Tens of thousands show up for 10-2-10 ONE NATION WORKING TOGETHER Rally. Remember that? It was huge. CSPAN broadcast the entire 4+ hour event.*

Not surprisingly, one of the key speakers was wearing a Confederate General's Hat, to which
Ian G. responds:
I love the Confederate imagery. Nothing says “freedom” and “patriotism” like honoring those who started a war that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans because they lost a free and fair election and were afraid they would no longer be able to keep other human beings as farm equipment.
There are some witty people in this country.
But not so many in the Tea Party.
