Stewart and Colbert Plan Competing D.C. Rallies
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.'"
I think parent should be modded down.
Tom made a good point. Archangel doesn't make a good point.
PS: I don't reply to ACs.
My point is, the audiences of these shows are mostly young liberal and uninformed.
Yes, yes, and demonstrably false. When polls were done a couple years ago, people that watched The Daily Show were more politically informed than people that got their news primarily from other cable channels. People who don't understand what Stewart and Colbert are making fun of probably won't find them funny and won't watch their shows.
On a world-wide scale, Obama is moderate Right. The United States has no viable Left-wing party, if you use a global calibration of "Left" and "Right".
Yes, relative to the GOP, the Democrats are to the "left" - much like how relative to the north pole, Greenland is to the south. That doesn't mean it's not one of the most northern landmasses.
Compared to the rest of the world, Obama is moderate right.
