I've seen a few episodes of that show. They set up uncomfortable situations to see how people will react, if anyone will step in and say anything.

by a man who was telling him he was in turmoil because he was gay. All but two people sitting near them listening defended the kid. It was great!

and even their teen son was on the kid's side. Interesting. The GOP should recruit more Muslims since they seem to see eye to eye on it!

the GOP was making huge inroads into the Muslim voting block on exactly those 'values' issues. Not so much anymore.

The first group? I was not at all surprised at their reaction. Disappointed, but completely unsurprised.

The rest of the people in that restaurant acquitted themselves brilliantly. I really liked that big guy piping up.
