From yesterday's Tea Party rally on the National Mall, sponsored by Dick Armey's FreedomWorks and other right-wing groups, and inspired by Glenn Beck, participants' posters -- both handmade and professional -- capture the prevailing theme: that America is being destroyed by a foreign leader and his cadre of socialists, communists, fascists, and Nazis.

I'll have more thoughts later in the day about the rally, but for now here are some of the snapshots I took.

From Ryan Grim at HuffPo comes the news that Yosi Sargant, the communications director for the National Endowment for the Arts, was asked to resign after Glenn Beck accused him of promoting Nazi ideas.

Who's next?

This week WorldNetDaily's smear-monger-in-chief, Aaron Klein, set his sights higher than low-level employees like Sargant. He ran an attack piece on Valerie Jarrett, the president's senior adviser, accusing her of Communist ties. It's Beck candy, wrapped up with a big, fat, racist bow.
