I did and it was majority young white hippie-wannabes. No multi-cultural diversity AT ALL. Liberals are big on trying to prove they're not really racist so it's surprising when one of their Pied Pipers has a rally and the only ones who show up are Tea Partiers.

This rally was put together by comedians, Stewart and Colbert did not want this to be a political rally, hence the humorous signs.

Supporters for the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear raised money for educational charities through DonorsChoose.org where Colbert is on the Board of Directors. In the first 24 hours, they raised over $100,000 and increased that to over that next few days to $250,000. Stewart promoted the Trust for the National Mall and urged supporters of the rally to donate. As of yesterday they'd donated over $117,000 and the link has not been up on his site for very long. A nice side bar to the rally!

Every one of them, as well as the Asians and blacks and Hispanics there, looked like they vote

He probably saw the Glenn Beck or Fox censored photos and called that good enough to pass his erroneous judgment.

I believe you were watching the Beck rally instead. The rally today that I say had plenty of diversity.

What are the distinguishing physical characteristics of a voter?

Are you trying to pass that "we are tax poor" photo off as one taken today at the Restore Sanity rally? LOL Here's some actually taken today.

As for Cat Stevens you need to educate yourself about what was really said and his denials of how it was distorted and blown out of context. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_Ste...Salman_Rushdie
