CPAC is the epicenter of patriotism this week. And everywhere you look, attendees are hardcore about exuding their pride in the country by wearing every piece of bizarre American flag clothing they can find. Even CNN’s Dana Bash got in on the fun. Except we think she did so unintentionally.

Enjoy.

8. Say hello to Grizzly Joe. He writes a blog, OccupiedWallStreet.com. As he explained, “I do Jihad, anti-liberalism as a I call it.” He lives in the “northeast region” of the U.S. but because of threats won’t say more. “I keep it a little vague,” he says. “I get some threats on Twitter.”
