Rally to Restore Sanity

who's going?

my sign is a david bowie reference, hope it makes it to TV!

forever to be remembered as the day the daily show jumped the shark.

Colbert is a creep.

But yeah , im gonna watch the rally on tv.

buuuunch of my friends are going. I personally don't really see the appeal, I guess it's cause I don't really care about politics, I just watch the Daily Show and the Report for teh lulz.

i am watching this now and boy oh boy this is not very good.

Rally to Restore Musical Careers

Rally to Restore Sleep

Rally to Restore my hatred for Kid Rock

second half was pretty good.

yeah i thought all in all it was pretty damn good.

amazed at how big the crowd was

what was it like?

i was hoping to go with my sign that said 'people who practice civil disobedience are whiner faggots' & 'MLK complained too much'

I keep reading about people watching this, but I don't get that channel anymore.

if it (edit: the announcement of where you could tune into the live broadcast) was on comedy central they didn't do a very good job of advertising it, i watch the daily show pretty much every day and didn't know it was being broadcast

i meant the ability to watch it on TV, not the rally itself. I don't recall a single mention of how a viewer could tune into comedy central and watch the rally.... anyways, can i watch it somewhere? links would be appreciated

i watched the beginning. you'd think they would start off funny. i would rather watch their shows.

can someone provide a link to where i can watch the whole thing, sorry i'm not finding it. i like to analyze these type of things

if you can get the 20 minutes before this, you have basically the best parts.

also, cspan is supposedly showing it again at 8pm.

thanks, ill be tuning in. I thought his interview with Obama was pretty good, especially the 'larry summers is doing a heck of a job' part. I've never seen Obama so visibly embarrassed before.

So to someone who has never heard of this before. Could somebody loosly explain the point of this?

lool that guy is pretty fucking sad.

I had a dream (literally last night) that palin, beck and coulter dropped dead and no one could explain it and then i was like but then I was like and then i was like

if i was to pull one major point from this event, s is that it means a person who is a celebrity (whether it be Glenn Beck or Jon Stewart) is able to motivate more people more so than any other activist mobilizing effort (antiwar, etc) in the united states since perhaps the civil rights era.

To be fair, Stewart and Colbert didn't get to where they are now if it wasn't for their comedic activism against the mainstream news and corruption in washington.

i'm not criticizing them, or what they've accomplished. It was more of a blanket criticism of america in general, that this (a famous person telling them to go somewhere) is what it takes to get people off their asses to a rally.
