A Walk On The Ugly Side, Huffpo's Take On Restoring Honor Rally

Huffpo was not kind in its assessment of the Glenn Beck Restoring Honor Rally participants. The interviewer and editor of this video seemed to be trying to find awkward footage in order to make people look foolish. And even so, most of the interviewees did fine. Not "creepy" as one Huffpo commenter found them. I think the majority of Huffpo commenters are "creepy". So there.
While the speaker list was diverse, the overwhelmingly white crowd expressed paranoid and conspiratorial fears of multiculturalism -- that atheists or black liberation theologists or radical Muslims or "free-loading" Latinos were going to ruin our country. There was the constant suggestion that white Christians and their way of life are somehow under assault, and that the attendees of this rally were here to put an end to it and return the country to what it used to be.
