I just brewed my first batch of homebrew ever and I think I may have screwed up. I made a copycat of Abita Turbo Dog (all grain), which is a brown ale. I dont think I aerated the wort enough. I poured the wort into the primary fermentor (bucket). I then pitched the yeast (white labs irish ale pitchable liguid) and stirred for maybe 1 minute. It has been in the primary fermentor since 4:30 PM. Will it be ok or should I try to aerate some more? Any advice would be appreciated.

you should be okay -- you might want to do a starter next time for your liquid yeast.

But, even if they're a little stressed, if your temps are good, you should be okay.
 
You should be okay. Since I've gone all grain, simply pouring the 5 gallons of wort into the primary has been more than enough aeration for me.
