I was pleasantly surprised by one aspect of yesterday’s Restore Honor rally on the Mall. It came from a surprising source, the Washington Post. It is Anna Uhls superb video coverage of the event. Link here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/video/2010/08/28/VI2010082803627.html?hpid=artslot
She covers it from the perspective of David Meister, a 40 something father and his 12 year old son Adam who took a ten hour “red eye” bus from New Richmond, Ohio to participate. David expresses his concern that President Obama is taking us down the wrong path and to turn things around he would have to change his policies 180 degrees. He adds that as America’s first African American President, he has the opportunity to become one of the greatest. But thinks he won’t and will be a one term....
There is no snarkiness and no mention of Al Sharpton’s counter rally. It simply treats the sincerity of David Meister and his son with the dignity it deserves.
Two thumbs up for Anna Uhls.

Where’s the video?
The coverage in the LA Crimes was on page 14 ... thousands gather ...
Nice video. I saw a lot of people with children — not teenagers, very young children. Good on those parents.
Thanks.
You’re right, it is a good video... I think Beck has made a profound impression on the MSM. Maybe there are some good guys/gals left in the the MSM machinery somewhere. If so, I think Glenn Beck has them reconsidering their actions.
I found it. I live outside of New Richmond and wanted to see what my neighbors thought. It was awesome.
Very nice and very suprising from the compost.
thanks for posting
btt
Don’t get all warm and fuzzy about the Post just yet.

I think it is more that Breitbart's counter offerings is making spinning the news by omission more damaging to their bottom line.
Thank you for brings that video to our attention. It was terrific!
The Wapo did a lousy job of reporting it in their Sunday edition. And they used the worst possible picture of Beck. He looks like he’s in an agonizing grimace.
The man in the video is so genuine and good as were all the patriots in attendance. The decency in these people is so visible and so lacking with the leftists.
