The Push For Colbert's "Restoring Truthiness" Rally

Posted by samzenpus on from the giving-truth-the-bump dept.

jamie writes "A grassroots campaign has begun to get Stephen Colbert to hold a rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to counter Glenn Beck's recent 'Restoring Honor' event. The would-be rally has been dubbed 'Restoring Truthiness' and was inspired by a recent post on Reddit, where a young woman wondered if the only way to point out the absurdity of the Tea Party's rally would be if Colbert mirrored it with his own Colbert Nation.'"

    They don't have any ideas worth acknowledging and dealing with. We all have a limited amount of time and attention, there is no sense wasting a limited resource on trivial things.

    when satirists like John Stewart and Stephen Colbert on a comedy channel are considered more reliable, trustworthy, and objective in their reporting

    Yeah? "Considered" by whom? You're just as big of a fool as Stewart, Colbert, Beck, and O'Reilly if you really believe that anyone spouting political opinions on TV is "reliable" or "trustworthy".

    You forgot the Libertarians who want to return us to a period of politcs between 1790-1890.
