They were cordoned off separately in a nearby area, but drew little attention as they gave out small American flags behind a banner that read "POW-MIA."

In this case it would appear that Glenn Beck's show is getting the sack. Here's hoping he's next though with Faux News I don't imagine that'll be happening anytime soon. At least not with him being a proper verbal whore for Rupert Murdoch.
