TPM's Ryan J. Reilly has you covered. From the best in Beck fans' patriotic duds to the true villains in the federal government (according to one rally attendee) to how much Beck's fans love MLK, Ryan was there.
And check back tomorrow for more video and photos from today's event. You don't want to miss it.

Look at this article and note the emails that Brett Schundler shared with reporters in New Jersey after he got canned by Gov. Christie (R-NJ). Christie may have a hard time explaining his comments from earlier in the week, in the face of those emails.

A business that rents missiles and old military jets for publicity events seeks volunteers on craigslist to help cart two missiles it's donating for anti-"Ground Zero Mosque" events.
Yep, hard to know where to start.

When whackadoo xenophobia crosses wires with cultural illiteracy the results can be, if not tragic, then at least pretty comical.
Meet Circuit Judge Elijah Williams of Florida. He's a veteran family court judge down in Broward County Florida and he faced a primary election on Tuesday. But a few weeks ago an group of bloggers began suggesting that Williams had not been straight with voters about being a Muslim.

We're revamping two parts of Talking Points Memo today -- comments and the login process. In the past few months, some of you have experienced trouble registering on TPM and logging in to comment. Most frustrating, some of you were getting kicked out of the system after having composed long comments and losing your work (it happened a couple times to ourselves). We realized bug batches weren't going to do the trick, so we rebuilt the two systems from scratch. More about the changes after the jump.

It's hard straddling the fence without getting splinters in your ... britches.
So discovered Gov. Charlie Crist -- the fence-straddler extraordinaire of the 2010 -- this afternoon when he very clearly said in a broadcast interview he would have voted for ObamaCare had he been in the Senate. That's completely at odds with Crist's position on health care reform up to now, and he quickly issued a statement to clarify that he would not have voted for it.

Back in the day Brett Schundler was the rising star of the NJ GOP, making his mark as the uber-conservative Mayor heavily Democratic Jersey City. He made his name in the 'cut every benefit cut every everything' wing of the party.
But today when Gov. Christie (R) asked him for his resignation as state Ed Commissioner result of errors and misrepresentations from Schundler in a matter costing the state $400 million in federal "Race to the Top" money he asked if he could be fired instead so he could collect unemployment benefits.

This is just a quick heads up that we're going to be rolling out some changes later today in how you can log in to the site to comment on articles. More details in a post to follow. But basically it will allow us to create a more 'robust' login 'experience' (i.e., it will consistently work) as well as help us to crack down on the evil scourge of comment spam. Finally, it will also allow you to login to TPM using other 'identities' or 'logins' you have from other major sites. And for the translation of that: that means you can login with your gmail account, your Twitter account, Facebook, etc. As we'll detail in post later today we've built the new system with your privacy, control and ease of use as our top concerns. More details to follow.
