Orange County Tax Day Tea Party

Well, I'm back from the Orange County Tax Day Tea Party, held at Plaza of the Flags, at the Santa Ana Civic Center.

The Orange County Register has a report, "
Activists Blast Government at Anti-Tax Protests."

Here's a few photos:

This is the best crowd shot I could get. The Register piece says "hundreds" of protester attended the event, but I'm betting the number was closer to a couple of thousand:

This is Andrew Breitbart and his father-in-law, Hollywood actor Orson Bean. Breitbart headlined the list of speakers. He railed against the liberal press (the "Democratic Media Industrial Complex"), and suggested that most of tonight's network news coverage would focus on Janet Napolitano's DHS report that puts nearly half of the American electorate on "a waiting list for far right-wing domestic terrorism":

Jim Gilchrist, the Minuteman founder, was cruising around the rally:

And here's yours truly, Americaneocon. My youngest son colored the sign last night, and my oldest son took the picture:

Man of the House!

I'll post more photos later, as well as more details on the event.
