Over the last 24 hours we've written a lot about the Capitol Hill Tea Party extravaganza.

Make sure to check out TPMDC's photo slideshow from yesterday's events here.

We also took lots of original video throughout the day - from musical protests against communism to tea partiers heckling police as some anti-abortion protesters were arrested and the crowd storming Capitol Hill office buildings.

Watch it all after the jump.


Storming the Capitol:


The anti-abortion arrests as they unfolded - the crowd wondering what happened, then singing "God Bless America" in honor of those arrested and heckling police as one of the men arrested is led to an ambulance.


Musical stylings from tea partiers:


Here's some pro-health care folks staging a "Billionaires" against health care counter protest. They get shouted down by tea partiers and accused in naughty language of being affiliated with Code Pink.

Evan and I shot the videos, and TPM superstars Ben Craw and Andrew Hymas took care of the posting and editing.

What a surprise! Most of the Teabaggers look nearly normal.

Seems like you guys were the only reporters there. The protesters just seem confused, trying to find unity with each other more than anything else. They seem desperate for chanting opportunities. I guess it's the rush from shouting "Shame on you" or "Let them go" or "Down with Pelosi" in unison. They should join a Zoomba class instead.

"Bring back Bush?" That's the best laugh I've had all day!

Are there legitimate and responsible contenders in her district who could validate her party with reasonable adults in a primary next year? Better yet, is there any talent among Democrats in her District who could legitimately challenge her and win?

This loony nonsense has to be retired to pasture. I now live in California. But having been born and raised in Minnesota I am embarrassed.
