The RALLY TO RESTORE SANITY (and the MARCH TO KEEP FEAR ALIVE!)
 

Oh man, blessed be their cotton socks:




And to the dumb mooks already saying Glenn fucking Beck's rally was "real" while these will be just "spoof" or whatever, I'll say the same thing Jon said to Larry King: "We're a comedy show. What's your excuse?"

[Sorry if this was already posted.]

My roommate is flying from Seattle to DC just for this event. No hotel. Then flying back the next day.

Nutcase. ;)

I'd absolutely do it (it would be a seriously longer trip, actually) if I had the dough. Gonna have to just torrent the fuck out of it on the Interwebs. They have 'em for computers now.

Who are these mooks claiming it was a spoof?
Spoof:

Now if the comparison was to a Nuremberg Rally, then they'd be on to something.
Oh by the way this whole Teabag thing is a front for the 3rd richest men in the world, the Koch Brothers:

Interesting stuff. The Tea Baggers are the type of people that are holding America back from better things. In other words they are ignorant.

cynicism aside... this is the ultimate cynicism... so i dont know how one is supposed to be sincere??!?!?!?!

excellent!

these 'rallies' are just corporate advertisements.

Its pathetic that this is the level of political sophistication of the so-called 'left' these days.

He said while posting Prison Planet shit.

these 'rallies' are just corporate advertisements.?

Huh? Please explain.

I'd love to go. Colbert and Stewart are huge political influences on the people.

I think this is rather cool, but I'm not going.

I support it but can't afford it.

Wanna live it but just acquit it

Same here. I'd go but I am broke.

how much has the metro fare gone up? surely not as high as a $2.99 red baron pizza, much less on weekends, no?

or...

do you live in manasshole, or somewhere remote like that?

I'm on the west coast dude. Can't afford the plane ticket.
But I fucking love Red Baron! Best cheap pizza available.

Just got an e-mail from Wilco HQ - Jeff Tweedy's gonna be there. Hopefully he'll perform something like "The Ruling Class".

so son you better turn around
yeah christ is on his way across town
he was getting tired of hanging around

Apparently Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam) performed, thats the same Cat Stevens who thinks capital punishment is the appropriate penalty for blasphemy.

I dont think you can set yourself up as a group against Religious Fanaticism and then put a guy on who says those things.

rally for ultra ultra ultra soft liberals to make it publicly known they have no problems with anything now bush has been replaced by a nicer celebrity and they promise to keep their head down and stick to watching the daily show and eating junk food and being loveably ironic about things like they've always done.

oh and btw if you protest things like wars and austerity measures you're a fucking nutjob, you would be better using your indoor voice to get your message across, not that we'll listen since we're busy on the sofa pampering ourselves with ice cream and comedy central.

this could have been an oppurtunity for the left to organise in movements with clear agendas behind vocal leaders, to consolidate and network and decide once and for all to stop rolling over on its back and letting fox news and the tea partiers get away with it. start getting militant and angry and fighting back against the tea party candidates insane and backwards agenda. instead they just rallied around feelgood liberalism and confirmed their commitment to impotent humour and dreaming of being celebrities. they'll end up at home depressed and alone in front of the tv again. what a waste... and its not like they don't have the numbers, 215,000, that dwarfs becks get down on your knees and beg to god who speaks through my dementia rally.

i should clarify my problem with stewart is that his brand of politics is anti intellectual, anti thought, anti organisational and has only ever served the smooth running of the neo con agenda. im not against taking the piss, and im not against everything he does. but if all you are prepared to do is crack wise like a good little hedonist who knows his place, if you aren't prepared to actually fight the fuck back and get show no mercy to the right who most certainly are showing no mercy to you, then you are weakening opposition, not strengthening it.

you said he was performing music, not giving a speech on his beliefs.
