I attended the Tea Party rally in downtown San Diego Saturday and took photos and videos. You can read a more detailed account by local Tea Party leader Dawn Wildman, who spoke at the rally.
I’m guessing about 300 people showed up at the rally, which had intermittent rain.
As usual, what I post here does not necessarily reflect the opinion of my employer, the North County Times.
Here are some videos, followed by photos:

Don't Tread On Me flags were prominent at the event.
Ouch!
COUNTERDEMONSTRATION: All the Tea Party talk of "socialism" was of course complete nonsense.
Peasant with a pitchfork!
Not a likely member of Greenpeace
Richard Rider, the grand old man of local Libertarians and tax-reduction advocates.
"Clean House And The Senate in 2010", reads the bumper sticker, held by talk show host Roger Hedgecock, a keynote speaker.
More to come ….

Don’t those two holding the socialist sign look like a couple of old hippies ?
Recycled hippies! BTW I added some videos of the event.
Thanks, Brad, here is Bryan Bloom’s speech:
