Unfortunately, the crazies get stronger and stronger every day

Bravo to Jon Stewart for this.

I hope like hell it turns out to be a rousing success.

Anyone want to take bets on how little Faux News will cover this?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

"The "Government Doesn't Suck March" to Stewart's "Sanity" rally is scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the North end of the National Air and Space Museum."​

Oh I think FOX will cover it Yank.

I also think they will cover it a lot more honestly than MSNBC covered the Beck rally.

Guess we'll have to wait to see won't we??

 

[blu]

the turnout is going to be epic

 

[Revere]

A Comedy Central host sets the bar for "sanity?"

 

[Claudette]

There are some out there that think Stewart is a newsman not a comedian.

Gotta wonder at some folks doncha??

 

[Avatar4321]

Good luck to their demonstration.

Not sure how listening to Jon Stewart is a return to sanity... but good luck anyway.

The OP is the first person I have seen say they want to take the country back FROM other people. Hmmm. Are these 'crazy' (and, by 'crazy', the OP appears to mean anyone he disagrees with) not Americans? Does anyone have the right to take something back from someone? Did that person own it in the first place?

These questions lead me to believe the OP is a bit of an idiot.

Should be a boon for DC liquor stores.

"President Barack Obama's election led many political pundits to predict the popularity of American satirist Jon Stewart would wane. After all, mocking Republicans was his bread and butter.

But two years later with the nation just days away from an election expected to shift the balance of power in Washington, Stewart and his Comedy Central stable mate Stephen Colbert are growing ever more successful.

Stewart topped a poll of the "most influential men" of the year conducted by AskMen.com, ahead of Microsoft's Bill Gates and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Obama came 21st.

The web site called his show "our youths' most trusted source of information and its host the most trusted man in America.""

 

[rightwinger]

I think we will need to bring out the fire hoses if too many sane people show up in the same spot

 

[uscitizen]

Umm Colbert is joining Jon. It is a joint gathering.
BYOJ though.

btw it has Oprah's backing.

 

[blu]

it started as a joke against glenn becks rally and now its a real event that will have multiple times the number of people and will be broadcast world wide

 

[uscitizen]

I doubt that the turnout will be as great. More of Jons fans are still working, not old enough to be on SS/retirement.

....Which would explain it being scheduled for a Saturday.​

 

[masquerade]

Rally to Restore Sanity Announcement.
Rational people will gather on the National Mall in D.C. to spread a timeless message: Take It Down a Notch for America.

Seems to me that the "crazies" would be the ones taking their political cues from comedians on television, and they certainly have no business taking control of anything . . . except their remotes.
