Sounds like a mob protest to me.
Too bad the mainstream media doesn't think the fact that hundreds of thousands (most likely millions) of Americans joined together on Saturday, September 12th to protest the big government spending was newsworthy. Republicans, Democrats and Independents joined together to show that "We're not going to take it anymore."
Unfortunately, I was unable to make it to D.C. this weekend and can only rely on bloggers that were there for accounts of the events. (Because WHO would rely on the media?!?!?)
Here are some good posts I have come across about Saturday's events: Infowars.com, Massive Corporate Media Coverup of Real Numbers at D.C. Rally Powerlineblog.com, CNN, "Making it up" as usual Lookingattheleft.com, Conservative Woodstock Rocks the Capital Moderateinthe middle.com, Media credibility plunges to new low
Nevermind that there were events throughout the country (see below for report on protest in Los Angeles) for those that couldn't make it to D.C. Check out Fort Worth in the rain, courtesy of Durangotexas.blogspot.
Hmmm...Off to scour through more blogs and other non-traditional media to find coverage of what actually happened on September 12, 2009 in America. When the sleeping giant officially woke up.
I would be SHOCKED if this doesn't become a historical moment in our nation's politics. The mainstream media can keep this as quiet as it wants, but because the people in D.C. and cities throughout the nation that were there in the streets that day are ordinary citizens and friends and colleagues with the fence teeters--we may just see a swing. A huge swing. I know I'd be curious. Spread the word. It's getting louder and more clear every day.

I got this link (great pictures from stblogustine) from one of my favorite visiting spots, ALa. (h/t ALa for the pictures below!)

I also posted those pictures, and yes the numbers are probably small as compared to the number of protestors nationwide.
50,000 at the most, get it? NOT millions. Thank God, that would be really scary to think there were that many creepy people out there!
Photographic analysis concludes the number of people was around 1.8 million.
Photographic analysis, yea right, I know people that live in D.C., so that's a big fat right wing lie!
OK you got me. BTW, I heard there were almost 50,000 people at Obama's inauguration, including a few whites.
