The other side of the coin.
SOMETHING IN THE AIR

WASHINGTON – Hundreds of thousands of Americans – of many creeds and colors – made what ended up being a pilgrimage of sorts to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., for Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally.
Catholics, other Christians and Jews spoke to WND on site, many celebrating the themes of faith and reliance on God proclaimed from the platform.
As WND reported, Beck proclaimed the purpose of the rally, saying, "It has nothing to do with politics; it has everything to do with God."
Beck, the Fox News TV host and a professed Mormon, urged his fellow Americans to live according to the Christian virtues of faith, hope and charity. He asked everyone to enter into 40 days of deep prayer, an obvious plea to imitate Jesus Christ's 40 days of prayer and fasting in the wilderness.

But where are all those black folks? And the Latinos? Every photo I've seen of that crowd has shown little more than a snow drift. And where exactly do you get the "hundreds of thousands" head count?
I really hate to accuse a fine news organ such as WorldNetDaily of lying, but.... Oh, right.

Why is the racial makeup so important to you? |

From the link in my previous post:
| WASHINGTON – Hundreds of thousands of Americans – of many creeds and colors – made what ended up being a pilgrimage of sorts to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., for Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally. |
And, if you'd opened the link, you'd have seen this illustration:
I know bullshit apologetics when I see it, and what we have here is a lonely peppercorn with a friend in a sea of corn starch. Assuming that it was not staged, of course.
If you saw more racial diversity, other than the ladies who took the stage, please post it.
Oh, and I'm a racist, as well!
Edit: And you really should open 'mooner's link. It's very good.

Excellent article, as is to be expected of Hitchens. Thanks, Dave.
