Two Comedy Central funnymen are apparently entering into the partisan political fray with rallies of their own in the nation's capital.
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have set October 30 as the date for their respective rallies.
On Thursday night's airing of "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," the comedian announced plans for a "Rally to Restore Sanity."
"See you October 30 on the National Mall to spread the timeless message, 'Take it down a notch for America,' " he said.
Stewart dubbed the event a "clarion call for rationality."
"A million moderate march, where we take to the streets to send a message to our leaders and our national media that says, 'We are here! We ... are only here until 6 though, because we have a sitter,'" he said.
On "The Colbert Report," which airs immediately after Stewart's show, Colbert fired back with plans for his "March to Keep Fear Alive."
"Now is not the time to take it down a notch. Now is the time for all good men to freak out for freedom," Colbert said

who wants to place bets that this one is more attended than the bagger conventions?

I have to love it. The article is lengthy and it also links to a few polls that show Stewart is fourth in who americans prefer to get their news from right behind the network heads.

We live in really wild and unusual times!!!
 
It's weird with these two. They're comedians, but I think that lets them point out the complete absurdity in our government and media. I honestly think that The Daily Show is probably one of the best new sources out there, simply because they have no agenda other than to poke fun at people try to manipulate the system.

I hope the turnout is amazing. I feel like going to the Washington mall to do nothing but fly a kite or something during the rally.
 
I like them because they use comedy to point out how absolutely absurd american politics has become. I am going. It's only an 8 hour drive for me. I hope my buddy that lives in DC is home for that weekend, though.

And giving up halloween in Salem is a BIG sacrifice for me, so this better be worth it!
 
I wonder if they allow costumes since it's going to be Halloween?

If so, I will go as an Orange playing golf, an Homage to Boehner, or as a turtle with glasses, an Homage to McConnell.
 
I kind of hope Stewart and Colbert will announce their candidacy with Stewart running as president and Colbert along side him as First Lady.
 
I'd go but I'm in Florida.

I prefer March to Keep Fear Alive so I can show how much I'd love to Teabag the Liberal JUB members. :D
 
Jon Stewart Announces DC 'Rally to Restore Sanity'

It's a great idea to bring attention to just how zany people like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are. You could call the latter 2 right wing comedians with all their foolish talk. Do you think Fox will cover this?

Love the quote:

"I disagree with you but I don't think you're Hitler"

Yes, let's restore sanity in America!

They're in some very strong ways filling in the role of Mark Twain, who got away with the most outrageous statements as part and parcel of strong social commentary.
 
this is a big thing for a few weeks already at various web communities. a lot of people are quite excited about this .. let's see how this turns out :)
 
I'm getting pissed, and I don't need the stress: I can't get any links to Stewart's clip to work!

If this was in December/January I would honestly fly over from Australia to attend (and visit some friends etc) but work commitments won't allow me to do so in October. I hope they get a massive turnout - Stewart is my media hero.

Kulindahr, I love your JUB road trip idea! Maybe you can share gas cost with a few other JUBbers and get there. Actually, if I could come I'd rather come along on the road trip than fly straight there! :-)

It all depends on swinging financing for the RV I want, a home on wheels not attached to real estate.

So far my siblings have refused to help in the least; I remain the pariah of the family that I've been since my first Christmas 'out'. Now it's up to a cousin.
