A pilot flew a lone message of dissent against Barack Obama's tax plans as a sea of people turned out to support the Democratic presidential hopeful at an open-air rally here on Saturday.
The pilot's small plane trailed a banner reading: "RAISING TAXES IS NOT PATRIOTIC." That referred to a call Thursday from Obama's running mate Joseph Biden for richer Americans to pay more in taxes for the national good.
The sign was the only discordant note as the enormous crowd gave a rapturous welcome to Obama in a park in Jacksonville, northeastern Florida. There were at least 12,000 people inside the park, according to the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, with another 6,000-8,000 in an overflow area outside.
