Also, the crowd at that rally was basking in its irony-drenched sophistication - see all the smug signs - in counterpoint to those dull-witted Tea Party rubes who, e.g., "don't even know" the difference between a Sikh and a Muslim, etc. That set loves emailing around man-on-the-street videos of ignorant right-wingers, so their meeting the same fate is richly deserved.
