• Counter-protesters, take note. While Beck has pushed hard to not make the rally a rage-fueled event, a couple moments have cropped up. One counter-protester, Ben Thielen, carried a sign that said, “It’s because of the 1st Amendment that Glenn Beck can spew his filth on the steps.” After showing off the sign, he was accosted by one woman, who started yelling “No signs!” at him and left him with some (probably overstated) red marks. “She just came up to me and said, ‘No signs!’ and clawed me like a wild animal,” he said. Meanwhile, a bunch of “Don’t tread on me” flags were waved around. source
