Why would there be Fear at a comedy rally? Comparing this rally to Beck's really is like comparing Apples & Oranges. This was a couple of comedians throwing a party. People should be laughing and having a good time. Why do Socialists/Progressives think they're the only ones who get that? It was a comedy show for God's sake. GEESH!

And Becks wasn't???

But we live now in hard times, not end times. And we can have animus and not be enemies. But unfortunately, one of our main tools in delineating the two broke. The country's 24-hour politico-pundit- perpetual-panic conflictinator did not cause our problems, but its existence makes solving them that much harder.

Not being able to distinguish between real racists and tea partiers, or real bigots and Juan Williams or Rick Sanchez, is an insult not only to those people, but to the racists themselves who have put in the exhausting effort it takes to hate. Just as the inability to distinguish terrorists from Muslims makes us less safe, not more. ...

It's not amazing that a lot of people will believe bullshit.

good grief, the Obama's speechwriters must of written that crap for him.
lol, WHERE the hell was Stewart during the Bush administration?
Oh that's right, he didn't care about all this back then.
Now the message is, CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG, join hands and sing kumbaya.

 

[Revere]

Looks like Comedy Central has turned the Mall into a Forbidden City and has strictly prohibited video.

I guess we'll have to accept their version of what happened.

Good lord, you're dense too.

For those who are throwing in their two cents without the foggiest notion of what this was, the title was the Rally to Restore Sanity (Stewart) and/or Fear (Colbert).

So for those who actually bothered to watch, there were Team Sanity and Team Fear signs, t-shirts, etc. All part of the joke - which you probably didn't get.

Those who made donations to Sanity will have their money to go the Trust for the National Mall. Those who supported Fear will have their donations go to the Yellow Ribbon Fund. It's a friendly rivalry between the two comedians - and a huge part of the satire involved in the event.

And a good time was had by all.

Could be the largest gathering in history!

Stage set on National Mall for Stewart, Colbert rally - CNN.com

Washington (CNN) -- Comedy Central funnymen Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will hold a rally on the National Mall Saturday, putting a satirical spin on partisan politics three days before midterm elections.

Stewart and Colbert's "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" is scheduled to start at noon.

They announced the rally in September, less than three weeks after conservative talk-show host Glenn Beck hosted a much-publicized "Restoring Honor" rally on the National Mall, urging large crowds to "turn back to God" and return America to the values on which it was founded.

Since then, Stewart's rally has grabbed headlines -- many asking, could the man making a living off mocking politicians actually be stepping into political activism?

The comedian hasn't offered many specifics.

"This is for the people that are too busy, that have jobs and lives, and are tired of their reflection in the media as being a divided country and a country that's ideological and conflicted and fighting. This is for those people," Stewart told CNN's Larry King

partisan politics? Sure stewerts partisan to the democrats. After all he did have obama on his show three days ago.

What TV show wouldn't jump to have a chance to get the president on their show?

I remember Jon asking Bush to be on the show when he was president plenty of times.

Also I've seen them bash democrats plenty of times.

Hey, that crowd was mostly white. That must mean they're racist then.


I wonder if any news reports will report the predominate race of the rally?????
