Jon Stewart to Rally for Sanity. Good Luck With That!

Ain’t it grand when the country’s best court jester heads to DC to show that Emperor Beck is buck neck-id?

Jon Stewart is my hero.

When the politicians and the serious media are a complete joke (albeit a sick one with real consequences), it’s appropriate that 2 comedians should lead the majority of us moderates.
.
Bravo Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Bravo. And I hope you actually get a million (or more!) to your rally, to show Washington that WE are the people, not these nutty Tea Partiers or crazy left-wing loons.

I watched this last night, and oh, my, god. If it wasn’t for John Stewart and the rest of them, I think we would THEN be headed for a horrible path down the line.

We need people like him who are outspoken against putting fear tactics in the media. I am just really glad he is around to shoot down that loon Glen Beck ( Who isn’t even a real reporter ).

This is awesome, I’m so going to wear my Tea Partier Halloween costume. You know, American flag pants, American flag hat, American flag in your hand, and bright yellow “WATERBOARD OBAMA” T-shirt.

I will be there to promote my 9/12 project, which aims to restore the sense of fear and suspicion our nation felt on September 12, 1857. Religious extremists massacred over 100 people in the preceding days. Never forget the Mountain Meadows massacre!

Finally! someone who speaks for moderate America.

Thank you Jon, for giving us all -frustrated with the right’s loud, ignorant rants- a voice. If you are for real I will be there. You will hear what I will have to say. You betcha!

This is 100% true and happening. Shame on you Time for not giving credit where credit is due.

http://www.REDDIT.com readers had a vision for a Colbert “Restoring Truthiness” rally. To capture his attention and demonstrate the seriousness of the campaign Redditers have donated a staggering $250k (and counting) in less than one week to DonorsChoose.org. DonorsChoose.org is a highly rated non-profit of which Colbert is a board member. In response to this massive internet campaign, Steven Colbert has teamed with Jon Stewart to create this awesome event.

Stewart is a fraud.

I used to admire John Stewart. He helped elect Obama. He seemed to push for the Truth. Obama brought in more of Bush and even worse. Obama renames troops, but changes nothing. Obama continues rendition, torture, mass murder and Guantanamo. Bush and now even more so, Obama are great deceivers, obliterators of Truth.

What Stewart has done with this is prove he is a fraud. He has done nothing but coverup 9/11 and joke about th 60 to 83 percent of Americans that now know the Truth of 9/11. He has a show where people are told not just to laugh but to scream at the top of their lungs so no one has a chance to even think about what he says. What he said in this statement was that he is trying to stir up what he falsely calls the 70 to 80 percent of people to help the psychopaths promote the lies of 9/11. To pit on American against the other.

We must wake up to the sad fact that not only was Obama another Bush and worse but Stewart was a complete fraud.

Read about SCADs, State Crimes Against Democracy. One of the tools that the criminals use is to destroy Truth– misinformation and lies, deceptions all called “negative information” information put out to coverup or destroy Truth. Truth is vital to a Democracy and so without we make bad decisions in elections and promotion of policy. What Stewart is doing, what he has always done, is mix a sprinkle of truth, never quite getting there with lies, so we feel as if he is our advocate. He is the advocate of the psychopaths that orchestrated 9/11 to effect a take over of our nation and justify the theft of trillions of dollars from our treasury. They are destroying freedom.

Daily Show could have used it’s position to expose the truth of 9/11 and the war on terror but instead it chose to lie and to coverup. That makes Daily Show as guilty as the perpetrators of the false flag of 9/11 itself. The Daily Show has added to the deaths of our beloved soldiers and those who were murdered by out treasonous leaders in foreign lands. Participating in the cover up is a grave crime.

Stewart won’t be able to pit Americans against each other because Americans are great people. If you watch the Daily show and CNN you think everyone is uneducated and fully in support of the lies of 9/11. That to is a lie. No one watches tv news for news anymore. Most people don’t. And after this travesty against Democracy and Truth that Stewart has gone along with, the Daily Show will no longer be able to fool us.

Goodbye John, you made me laugh, but your dark sinister plan now makes your true nature very clear. Do what you will, it’s your choice. You have put the value of your soul below the size of your wallet.

Yes Jon, I will be there. With no signs, no ranting, and dressed in casual wear. Not Wal-Mart, and not Gap. But neat just the same.

I will laugh heartily at topics like Beck, Rush, the former governor from the state of obvious idiots , Rove, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, and the like. And of course Bill “I can talk louder than you” O’Reilly.

Ditto for subjects like Cong. Rangle, soiled dresses, Bills explaination of the word “it”, and any mention of Peta, Unions, and tenure for crappy teachers.

I believe that puts me right in the middle, sort of. So if this isn’t bullspit, I’m in. And you can be my next president. After Obama’s second term of course. I mean, shouldn’t he have as long to try to get us out of this mess as Bush took to bury us?

Thanks Jon.

Oh come on, this whole idea started with the Reddit online petition to get Colbert to hold a rally in response to Glen Beck, called “Restoring Truthiness”. And yet Stephen Colbert is only mentioned as an after thought in this article. Bringing his show to the real world is Colbert’s thing, not Stewart’s. Give some credit where credit’s due.

Jamesfreeworld, if you are going to insult the man, at least spell his name correctly.

He’s a fraud at what? He’s everything he’s every claimed to be, a smart rational questioning human. Thank goodness he questions Obama while he also supported him – that is why he is a bi-partisan genius and can have guests from all party lines. Name one other “comedian” or otherwise who comes close to this.
As for the 9/11 rant. Say Wha??

I’ll be there, wearing this! Following the masses has never felt so good.
Jon Stewart, Now More Than Ever
http://bit.ly/JonStewartMoreThanEverTee

Fair enough, and thanks for publicizing the DonorsChoose effort. (Great program, BTW.) No diss intended to Colbert; for the purposes of this post it just made more sense to focus on Stewart, who (given the nature of their respective shows) was making the affirmative case, as it were. I don’t claim to be laying out the definitive tick-tock of how the event got under way.

BTW, there’s a reference to some of the early discussion of the event in NY mag’s Stewart cover story this week:

http://nymag.com/arts/tv/profiles/68086/index1.html

I’ve never really understood why it isn’t considered disrespectful to wear the flag as clothing.

Hey, I’m not a fan of the show….not that I don’t think Stewart is great…just don’t have time; have to catch him on youtube….however, we have got to do something here…this country is being taken over by the great unwashed! The least educated, the most opinionated, the least curious, the most gullible, the least articulate, the most nonsensical! Who in the world would believe that Americans would ever think that Sarah Palin could be Vice President. Shouldn’t they be smart? Who would ever believe that a Michelle Bachmann could be elected and re-elected to a congressional seat? And now….look at the “ninnies” who the GOP has running for Congress and the Senate in the Fall? Based on what I see, read and hear….these people might win against some fairly well minded Democrats…this is Frightening! Stewart…if you put together a rally to take back the sanity…count me in….I’ll be there and bring some of my friends who too believe that education helps open minds and hearts….we need to make sure that every citizen in this country gets an education….maybe some of these right-wingers would have a change of heart if they got some good old fashioned education under their belts!

for those of you who agree with this article here is a group for you. http://www.coffeepartyusa.com/
I have never attended one of their events since they are not active near me, but I follow them on fb and like what they are trying to do. try the coffee party

… and this why this rally is necessary.

Easy buddy, you’re going to burst a blood vessel!

I’m with you sister. I only wish I could be there.

For those that think Glen Beck is a fear monger (and he may be), they should instead look at the people who attended his rally and ask – why were they there? Ignorant, uniformed, biased, racist? Maybe. Or maybe they’re simply Americans who love their country, believe in basic values and are terrified by what they see in Washington; a President who clearly does not seem to respect nor love the country he serves, who feels the need to apologize for our “arrogance” instead of acknowledged the sacrifice of tens of thousands of Americans who gave their very lives so our country and others could be free.

Or perhaps they see a Speaker of the House who seems about as qualified for her position as Shaquille O’Neil is to dance the lead in Swan Lake; compounded by the fact that she seems blissfully unaware of her arrogance, incompetence and complete disregard for the situation the country (and it’s citizens) are in. She does, however, project that she is infinitely superior to the “little people” whom she deigns to allow to serve her. I can think of no one, Obama included, for whom the resurgent republicans owe more of a debt to than Nancy Pelosi. And I can think of no one I would rather see removed from office.

I voted for Obama in 2008. One of the reasons – while I admire John McCain – was the idea of Sarah Palin being one heartbeat away from the Presidency scared the hell out of me. And while I was optimistic and hopeful with Obama’s election, I am now to the point of being disgusted with his seeming total lack of respect for how a great a nation he is privileged to serve. I am not, by the way, either a veteran or some old guy over 70. I am, however, someone who loves this country, believes it to be the greatest country on earth – despite it’s flaws – and I am sick of our leaders and the liberal loons (as someone else rightly put it) apparently doing everything they possibly can to destroy it – whether intentionally or not.

Were I to believe Jon Stewart’s rally truly was for returning this country to sanity – versus his simple distaste for Glen Beck – I would happily support it. But my feeling is the people who supported and attended Glen Beck’s rally – I was not one of them by the way – simply want people leading this country again who believe in and will apply the principles that made it great in the first place; and they have ample evidence neither Obama, Pelosi – nor Jon Stewart – are the ones to do it.

Name one other? Bill Maher

Hey man. Alaska isn’t full of obvious idiots. I live in Juneau, which is a liberal town in a conservative state. I can’t speak for all of Alaska, but here in Juneau I’m hard-pressed to find anyone that likes or respects Sarah Palin. And yeah, teabagger Joe Miller was elected as the republican nominee but that’s not representative of all Alaskans.

First off only about 35% of Alaskans voted in the primary. Republicans here only allow registered republicans to vote in their primary (Democrats welcome anybody.) So just going by rough numbers about half the primary voters were republican, about 17%. And about half of them voted for Joe Miller, about 8-9%. At less than 10% I’d hardly say it’s representative of our state. Democrats here are thrilled Joe Miller got the republican nomination. There is so much wrong with him anybody with half a brain will hopefully see the light and vote for the dem. candidate McAdams.

Anyway, was liking your post until you called me an obvious idiot.

Damn, why did I decide to play the 9/11 drinking game, tonight? I thought a TunedIn post would save me…

Thank you all for posting your comments. We need more. This is the first time I have ever done this. I do it now and hope that millions of others will as well. Although I laughed out loud at Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, this is not a joke. We must restore a level of reason and sanity to our national discourse. Where is Walter Cronkite?
osbwrtg – do you believe in – ‘My country right or wrong.’
AlaskaKid37 – I aoplogize for the slap at the great state of Alaska and its citizens. Please help us.
Lets all be careful – no Hitler mustaches please.

I comment over in the Swampland, and try to do so sanely. I hope Stewart does well with this rally. It really is hard to get anyone’s attention when you’re not ranting, Not a lot of ratings in sanity, apparently. I have stuff to do, live in VT, and won’t be able to be there in person. Raise an extra Huzzah for me if you can.

OK, OK, I’m sorry about the Alaska thing. I mean I know it’s beautiful and all, and I do have friends there…. but you guys did elect her. So I’m sorry but……….

One other thing though. Nobody out there loves their country more than me. And I take offense when traveling and I hear crap from people of other countries dissing us. I get all up in their faces about it. France is really pretty and the food is great, but screw those stuck up nitwits. Ya know?

But

There are a lot of things that our leaders have done that were wrong, and to think that we cannot face them, nor accept responsibility for those actions is just plain arrogance. Lets think a little about history. The American Indians, slavery, death squads in Central America, the Shah of Iran, Vietnam, and on and on.

Now while I’m not a big fan of Al Franken, he did say something that hit pretty close to home. Refering to how the older generation feels about the US compared to, well the younger generations. People @ 50 and younger. Or the GOP vs. the Dems.

“We love America just as much as they do. But in a different way. You see, they love America the way a four-year-old loves her mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a four-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes Mommy is bad. Grown-up love means actually understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad, and helping your loved one grow.”

I’m in the same situation as “hopingreason”, I’ve never done this either.

Oh, this is so necessary right now. I’m so glad Stewart is doing this. I’d be there, but I’m one of those 80%-ers and can’t get a sitter. :-) I’ve heard some noise about trying to do local versions of the rallies for people who can’t make it to DC; hope that comes to pass.

“As for the 9/11 rant. Say Wha??”

http://michaelfury.wordpress.com/2009/04/11/the-rest-is-silence/

See a recent response article to Jon Stewart here –

The Court Jester and 9/11 Truth
http://911truthnews.com/the-court-jester-and-911-truth/

excerpt:
“What is it about 9/11 and its unanswered questions that makes it so hard for mainstream journalists, media figures and even comedians to address it in an honest, straightforward manner? Is it because if it became common, verified knowledge that we were lied to about those attacks that changed the world and launched us into endless war, the establishment would be too threatened? Would too many comfortable jobs would be lost? Is this all about cowardice and greed?

After nine years of solid, stonewall resistance to dealing with reality and an unending onslaught of mindless mockery and derision, it’s easy to think that might just be a big part of it.”

A really bad idea; Stewart fans and others likely to attend will be in a Halloween mood and the potential for bad behavior just days before an election is very real. Any mischief will play very badly to those who don’t think the Mall is the appropriate place for such behavior. Call it off.

Thank God for Jon Stewart!! He is the voice of sanity.
Now if only we could get the billionaire Koch brothers to provide buses like they do for the tea party events!!!

“For anyone with palm-sized dents in their foreheads from watching cable news and reading blog comments”

I fall into this category, severely.

Also, @thehoobie “I’ve heard some noise about trying to do local versions of the rallies for people who can’t make it to DC; hope that comes to pass”

This is seriously coming to pass, like everywhere.

I’m putting together the NYC event here:

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=160495660628749#!/?sk=messages&tid=1202335556304

How ironic that its two comedians that are the leading the rally for sanity.

But it is so true as some others have stated, that the roles have almost reversed. The “real political analysists” have become the joke and the “fake news anchors” like Stewart and Colbert, are the ones to take the step back and put things into perspective.

@02bwrtg – you do not have a monopoly on loving our country.

1) The first marker for a crazy person is an obtusely long post. What is too long? The point is that its a judgment call. I am just saying I can see why this rally wouldn’t appeal to you.

2) “Clearly does not seem to respect nor love the country he serves” – You “clearly” state something, and then two words later “seem” to have no idea what you are talking about. And of course the contradiction doesn’t even register. Sure, you may have voted for obama, but I can smell a news corp manufactured opinion a mile away. No one else can emphatically present a deniable position quite like that- it really is an art. Of course your hyperbole knows no bounds elsewhere as well, but lets stick with this for now.

Good luck to everybody who is going! I wish I could join you. If I was coming I would bring an automatic nerf gun and camo face paint. But then, that would be more for colberts rally.

And who do you think Stewart and his fans represent? They couldn’t make our legislative processes seem like more of a circus than they already do. We are in a stalemate over most important issues and the ‘representatives of change’ give us nothing in return. No, I say let the rally happen. It won’t be a bunch of anarchists putting toilet paper on all the buildings at the mall like you infer. Let the rally happen. Believe me, the process could not be more absurd than it already is.

You never liked John Stewart. That much is clear. And it took a big chunk out of my sunday morning to realize that you are just a shill for continuing the current process… which is getting us nowhere.

No, the rally should happen. Let us add an absurd counterpoint to the already absurd actions of Beck, Palin, et al, not to mention the dysfunctional political system that ‘represents’ the American people.

John Stewart is evil? What are you putting in your coffee?

Oh good grief. I know this is so late and nobody is going to read it anyway, but chicka! For f$%^ks sake, do you really believe what you just wrote?”A halloween mood”

This is the silent majority speaking, we don’t get all up in your face or make signs saying god is great, kill all the homo’s. C
Come on, do you really stand by this nonsense?

“Any mischief will play very badly to those who don’t think the Mall is the appropriate place for such behavior.”

Sorry, you sound like an idiot. The Mall is exactly the place for such behavior!

As usual, the left-wing exposes itself to America as why it is the problem.

Only a liberal would feel the need to mock a non-political gathering of people from all political backgrounds “Restoring Honor” whose key focus was “Faith, Hope, and Charity”.

Meanwhile, Obama is trotting around America displaying that he is not only incapable to lead, but unwilling, turning each campaign stop into a fear and hate rally.

Where were you liberals when Bush was President?

Oh, that’s right, you were hanging our leaders in effigy and burning the flag.

Where was the “sanity” rally then?

Just shows you are all either morally bankrupt, or hopeless hypocrites.
