Stewart and Colbert Plan Competing D.C. Rallies

Posted by samzenpus on from the power-of-the-internet dept.

Lev13than writes "In a direct retort to Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have announced competing rallies on October 30th. Stewart plans to host a 'Rally To Restore Sanity' on Oct. 30 on the National Mall in D.C. for the Americans he says are too busy living normal, rational lives to attend other political demonstrations. Colbert, meantime, will shepherd his fans in a 'March To Keep Fear Alive.' 'Damn your reasonableness!' Colbert said. 'Now is not the time to take it down a notch. Now is the time for all good men to freak out for freedom!' Stewart, meanwhile, has promised to provide attendees with signs featuring slogans such as 'I Disagree With You But I'm Pretty Sure You're Not Hitler' and 'I'm Afraid of Spiders.'"

    Try not to take the "I'm afraid of Spiders" thing too seriously".

    Never forget that Air America was a dismal failure.

    It starred Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr, what did you expect?

    I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your sense of humor. Was it a natural progression of loss or did you have to hand it in voluntarily when joining the republican party.
