The talk sensation looked more like a televangelist at his “Restoring Honor” rally this weekend, but his preaching about unity only proved his biggest adversary is himself.

TV commentator Glenn Beck addresses thousands of supporters at his Restoring Honor rally on the U.S. National Mall in Washington, August 28, 2010. Beck's rally, advertised as a "non-political event that pays tribute to America's service personnel and other upstanding citizens who embody our nation's founding principles of integrity, truth and honor," has generated controversy for being held on the same day and location as Martin Luther King's 1963 'I Have a Dream' speech.
