No, of course I didn't attend it.
But others did, and I read what they had to say.
AOL's Politics Daily called it "a high-production variety show" which studiously avoided political content. At the tail end, Stewart told the tens of thousands of attendees not how important it was to vote, not how valuable involvement in the political process is, but that we need to be nice to people we disagree with.
How sweet!
Apparently, the only political content was a visit from Eleanor Holmes Norton, who is the non-voting representative from Washington, DC to Congress. She was there to curry support for DC voting rights in Congress.
I'd have thought that a Tea Party point . . . you know, taxation without representation and all?

This was not a rally to ridicule people of faith. Or people of activism or to look down our noses at the heartland, or passionate argument or to suggest that times are not difficult and that we have nothing to fear. They are and we do. But we live now in hard times, not end times. And we can have animus and not be enemies."
