Erik Hayden Aug 31, 2010
"I confess, if Beck wasn't a libertarian, I would find his populism terrifying. But his basic message, flaws notwithstanding, is that our constitutional heritage largely defines us as a people, regardless of race, religion or creed. Is that so insulting to Martin Luther King Jr.'s memory?"

--Jonah Goldberg, in The Los Angeles Times on Glenn Beck's incessantly debated "Restoring Honor" event this past Saturday.
