Special "Restoring More Honor" Edition
Frances Martel at Mediaite:
"For a high-profile speaker, Sarah Palin got one of the more difficult jobs one can get at a rally: warming up the early morning crowd. That said, when the crowd is thousands of Tea Party-affiliated Americans enthusiastic about restoring their nation’s honor, it’s not so difficult to get them fired up. Palin dedicated her speech to the troops, honored several American soldiers, and thanked the greatest Americans, both large and small in legacy, for their contributions."Breitbart.tv:
"The... speech delivered by the former Vice Presidential nominee... brought many in the throng to tears."Daniel Halper at The Weekly Standard Blog:
"Palin heartily thanked 'America’s finest, our men and women in the military.' She called the military 'a force for good' in this world. 'And that is nothing to apologize for,' Palin said, in what was probably the most political moment of her speech, as it was presumably a veiled shot at Obama for what many perceive as a worldwide apology tour taken by the president."Constitution Club:
"Hard on the heels of Sarah Palin’s stellar speech... at [Saturday’s] D.C. rally, Feministas [are] bemoaning the left’s lack of a similar charismatic female leader."Waking America Up Blog:
"Any attempts to lie and downplay this event are not attacks on Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin. These are attacks on each and every one of us. The press is telling us that honor doesn’t matter. Community doesn’t matter. Your belief in God doesn’t matter. Your voice doesn’t matter. Erasing the numbers is the press telling us that we don’t matter. We do matter. Wake up."Jillian Bandes at Townhall.com:
"Sarah Palin was a headlining speaker, and Beck played up her credentials as a mother instead of as a conservative political force... Palin, along with a host of other speakers, largely upheld Beck's initial mantra of faith, hope, and honor."A Shot and a Beer:
"Sarah Palin introduced members of the Military, who had sacrificed friends, comrades, shipmates, and limbs, to point out those who put Honor above their own needs, or even their own survival. All day, it was the same story; we are Americans, we are one Family, we should work together, trust in God (with no demand on whose God we should trust in), and help to bring us all up. No hate, absolutely zero so-called 'racism,' and no politics. And, by the way, absolutely no trash left laying on the National Mall when it was over."Nile Gardiner at the Telegraph:
"Boosted by the presence of charismatic former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, the 'Restoring Honor' event organised by talk show host Glenn Beck was a huge success, and a tremendous demonstration of the power of conservatism in America today."andysully at Blue Collar Corner:
"Glenn Beck’s rally was not a race issue or a political playground where rhetoric was thrown around like childish insults. This rally was a genuine attempt to bridge the gap on all differences. The Liberal Media’s attempt to prevent that is almost as oppressive as supporting segregation 47 years earlier. MSNBC reported 'Beck and tea party champion Sarah Palin appealed Saturday to a vast, predominately white crowd.' I’m sorry, wasn’t there something mentioned about all of God’s children? But, who knows more than God besides the Liberal Media?"The Washington Post:
"The crowd erupted when Beck introduced Palin, a tea party heroine and a former Republican vice presidential candidate."Jason A. Vigorito at The Ridgewood Blog:
"Sarah Palin — speaking as a soldier’s mother — best stated... every... rallier’s reason for attending the Restoring Honor Rally: we don’t want to fundamentally transform America, we want to RESTORE America... Have you ever cheered alongside 300,000+ people? Have you ever sung with 300,000+ people?? Have you ever prayed with 300,000+ people??? Have you ever even been in a crowd that large?! To hear that many people say the Pledge of Allegiance, led by a Boy Scout, together; to sing the National Anthem in unison; to hold hands with strangers and sing 'Amazing Grace' to bagpipes. You’re struck with awe."Idiots For Obama:
"It appears that Al Sharpton's 'Reclaiming the Dream' rally focussed more on Sarah Palin and Glenn beck than it [did] on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King."Hugh Hewitt at the Washington Examiner:
"Minimum estimate of Saturday's crowd on the Mall: 300,000 Maximum estimate: One million people. Meaning of the crowd: An enormous upheaval in the emotions of average Americans is coursing through the country, with a certain significance for November's elections. It will have a lasting, profound impact on America's political direction. Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin provided an occasion to glimpse this undeniable phenomenon... The people on the Mall and the millions more who watched the gathering with satisfaction rather than fear are quite simply sick of the left, and of its vast sneer toward the traditions, values and, yes, faith of the American middle class."The Daily Beast:
"Sarah Palin was met by a roaring crowd as she spoke at Glenn Beck’s 'Restoring Honor' rally on the National Mall Saturday."Jeannie DeAngelis at American Thinker blog:
"Americans gathering to peacefully pray, exercise freedom of speech and laud the greatness of our nation [were] depicted by Chris Matthews as 'Little right-wing boys and little right-wing girls joining hands and singing praise for Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin.' Matthews' tingly hero worship [of Obama] explains the MSNBC commentator projecting juvenile idolatry on hundreds of thousands of peacefully assembled Americans who were doing anything but worshiping Beck and Palin... The left cultivates division and then complains about a racial divide. Liberals stir up strife and then claim that minorities avoid gatherings like the 'Restoring Honor' event, which was attended by hundreds of thousands of people who, regardless of race, treasure the values Martin Luther King espoused."- JP
