When one who's major contribution to society has been her involvement in groups which claim to be able to cure "the gay", is able to be nominated for high office, it seems only fitting that humor be used in an attempt to fight "the stupid".

Saturday September 18, 2010, 8:08 am

Thanks for posting this, Robert . . . I completely agree.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 8:24 am
Holy Unstupidity, Robert! If I could, I would have Scottie beam me back down to earth on Oct 30 to attend this rally, in hopes that laughter would prove the best medicine against stupidity born of ignorance! Thank you for the grin in advance!

Saturday September 18, 2010, 8:51 am
When I watched the show, I thought, I sure wish that I
was younger and had some money. I'd go in a heartbeat and I hope thate everyone who is able, will go. Let the
media coverage roll! Sanity is a good thing.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 9:15 am
Thanks for posting this. This action is urgently needed, I have never seen so much stupidity in America, didn't know there were so many. Wish I could be there too and I hope millions show up. Somehow we have to Fight the Stupidity prevailing in our country today. There just has to be a way to fix Stupid and I hope we can come together and get it fixed before even more of this country is destroyed by the hysterical mass of faked outraged stupidness continues. The Wealthy could pay enough to get the puppets to do their bidding for them and it's time to even out the wealth a little more. Let the wealthy pay their share of taxes, why should we middle-class and under have to pay to make up for the wealthy tax breaks? Of course, we all know that it's all about the money. They are able to get some people to do and act really stupid for money.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 9:26 am
Its not just "the stupid" that we are up against however. Those who lead our countries segment of people inflicted with "the stupid' know that a bit of double dealing will not be noticed, understood, acknowledged or remembered by them so it up to those of us who do notice, etc, to show examples for the benefit of those for whom any fact based argument is not a wasted effort. Enjoy the video and site.

Thanks, Robert, for pointing that out too. I agree wholeheartedly with you, and then it still boils down to the money, doesn't it?

Saturday September 18, 2010, 10:04 am
Cheers Robert wish i could be there.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 10:21 am
Thanks Robert, I read about this in today's paper. I too...can't be there, but will watch the media reports....;-)

Saturday September 18, 2010, 10:28 am
Yes Barbara. Thank you, and let me respond with these and Frank, I wish I could be also but have plans to be in California which are in stone at this point so our best bet it to tell everyone about it, hope they go, and enjoy vicariously by listening to there stories afterward. I of course will watch no matter where I am.

Public finance all elections.

Do not allow any contributions or use of personal
money to be used in any election.

If the public thinks this is expensive , just realize what it is costing them now.
Favors and corruption in the present system makes
those elected beholden to money.

Elected officials are supposed to represent the public interest and only public financing of all elections will accomplish that end.

THANK YOU FOR INFORMATION

Thanks so much for posting

Saturday September 18, 2010, 11:28 am
Another great post, Robert. Wish I could attend, but I will be on the other side of the country trying to remain rational and sane. I wonder what coverage this will get? Maybe, just maybe, the Republican extremes (which seem to be most of them anymore) will finally get the attention they seek from Americans, and get themselves Un-elected. We can hope. As your other link to Rachel Maddow points out, Republicans can't even make up their minds WHAT they stand for... they just want to stand on a great big soap-box and indignantly oppose ANYTHING that might actually help the majority of this country.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 11:31 am
Noted, thanks.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 12:12 pm
I watched the preview on this last night on the news..... I would absolutely love to be in attendance!! I'll definitely be there in spirit and prayer!!

Saturday September 18, 2010, 12:14 pm
Yes, just what this country needs now, mockery. The Democrats have allowed Obama and his pack of Czars to about bankrupt this country. But this group of clowns can only think of mocking other Americans that have stood against the bad policy of this administration.

What a great contribution.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 12:24 pm
Spread the word!
I hope the attendance wil be huge.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 12:26 pm
I am kinda afraid of spiders.
I would LOVE to be there, even if I were the only one to attend. Say, anyone from near Omaha willing to pick up a harmless hitchhiker? I really scared of thumbing a ride.
Thanks for the info.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 12:31 pm
Lidia I see your contributions since joining Care2 on Sept 13 are pretty much limited to joining a group that is hostile to Care2 because it holds that Care2 just uses people and that Care2 lies. And so here you are using Care2 and this post -- which takes some intelligence and sense of humor to appreciate -- to diss the post and say something off-topic about Obama. Great contribution Lidia, great contribution. I can't wait for the encore.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 12:54 pm
Thanks very much for sharing this article x

Saturday September 18, 2010, 1:09 pm
Gregory, your comments to/regarding Lidia are "dead on"! As far as "mocking her" goes... it's refreshing to take a small step back from "political correctness" once in awhile... sort of sitting back with a bowl of hot popcorn, a frosty cold beer, and watching your favorite 3 Stooges film. The Majestically Stoopid will always suit us better than they suit those they worship simply by opening up and expressing themselves... the more they say, the better (and SO VERY AMUSING!)

Saturday September 18, 2010, 1:17 pm
WHO THE HELL CARES - THEY ARE BOTH IDIOTS. How can they have a Rally to Restore Sanity....they don't have ANY

Saturday September 18, 2010, 1:33 pm
Thank you, Robert, for the heads up and belly laughs to come. Can hardly wait to see the non-coverage by the "mess" media of this terrific, kick 'em in the you know what event. Here's my current funny (and not so funny) pre-election slogan:

DAMN a DEM. but VOTE for THEM - no more bushwhacked!!!

Kinda figure that the "mess" media spinners advising how foolish it is to remind the sheeple of the "Worst President Ever" and his bushwhacked years, that's exactly what we should be doing, with a little bit of Stewart/Daly fun thrown in 'cause I'm Irish, and it's the Irish thing to do - tell 'em to go to hell in a way that makes 'em think they'll enjoy the trip.

Best of luck and turnout to my favorite comics.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 2:14 pm
I just love Stewart and Colbert.... almost as much as Elizabeth Warren. I want to go!!

Saturday September 18, 2010, 2:51 pm
Thank you Robert for bringing this to our attention.. For some reason my funny bone is not working overtime. No, ~~ just a minute, ~~ it is not working at all, especially after reading some of the comments here. Yes, my stupidity radar is working well! Now I have to decide which reality I want to life in!

Be well people in truth, common sense and laughter!

Saturday September 18, 2010, 2:53 pm
Bill Mahers is back on HBO and I suddenly feel better. Stewart and Colbert will be insane, just what we need after all the stupidity this past summer. Can't go but will watch and follow.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 3:07 pm
I loved the videos. It was the best I've seen Stewart in awhile. I live on the west coast but if I was withing dirving distance I would be there. I hope they have a large turnout. Thank for the laughs.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 3:24 pm
THEY ARE MOCKING ARE GOVERNMENT FOR COMEDY. WHO'S FUNNIER THEM OR THE REAL PEOPLE THEY TALK ABOUT. WHERE WOULD THEY BE WITHOUT THEM. SADLY NONE OF THIS WILL GIVE PEOPLE JOBS,EDUCATIONS OR FUTURES. BUT COLBERT AND STEWART (NOT HIS REAL SURNAME) WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE MILLIONS PLAYING THE WORD GAMES.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 3:36 pm
Gregory Thank you for directing me to Robert's article! Cheers Robert for the post...hmm some interesting posts here, that's for sure!
Seriously life is too short not for a good ole laugh...lighten up pple!
Ok..what may be funny to some might not be funny to others, I appreciate that...yet I personally look fwd watching it from Australia when they show it!
Have an awesome one...

Saturday September 18, 2010, 3:37 pm
I watch both of these shows. I sure would love to go to both events. It would be loads of fun. However, since I am part of the 44 million living in poverty, I need money for everyday stuff. :-(

Saturday September 18, 2010, 3:45 pm
gary leigh (0),

Who gives a crap what his surname is...with the exception of yourself?

Whatever they make is not coming out of my or your pocket and could never be enough IMO for the entertaining light they cast on the lies and insanity that are the fodder for their humor. We are blessed to have them.

Oh...and that would be "our" government Mr.Capital letters. Thats no typo.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 3:46 pm
Hey Jon (re your comment above on Saturday at 1:09 pm), glad you enjoyed the "roast". See the "encore" from Joan M above on Saturday at 1:17 pm. Another wunderkind, from one of those "profile can't be found" avatars. Note that a small flock of Tea Party "operatives" created accounts on care2 in the last couple days, apparently all juiced up by O'Donnell's win and eager to show they ain't got no warts on their hands. Often, though not always of course, a zero-or-few-friends avatar that returns "no profile found" when clicked is a person using an alias (to make the number of their ilk look greater) or a person who was booted off Care2 but is trying to sneak back on. You can usually tell because such people look for articles they don't like and post stupid and hostile comments on them. What's comical about it is that they don't realize how transparent they are.
THREE CHEERS FOR Stewart and Colbert and their intelligent humor, which idiots can't understand!

Saturday September 18, 2010, 4:33 pm
I want to go!

Saturday September 18, 2010, 4:56 pm
Dear Sirs,
President Lincoln bolted from the Republican Party to form the Union Party.
The Radical Republicans impeached his hand-picked running mate, Andrew Johnson!
To pretend, that he remained a Republican, is character assassination!

Saturday September 18, 2010, 5:07 pm
Thanks for sending this to me, Gregory. I watched this and just loved it!!!!! Perfect, I'm afraid of spiders, not little ones just the tarantula's that you find in AZ....LOL Wish I could attend.

Thanks for posting Robert :)

Saturday September 18, 2010, 5:12 pm
Yeah, Gregory, the teatard contingent is out in full force today! I can't wait to see the GOP "divide and conquer" strategy work this election day... against themselves. Reading about O'Donnell's win has been a real pleasure. Through several of the last few elections, Democrats have been the ones saddled with unviable candidates siphoning off votes to make a few points. It seems like the GOP is experiencing the same thing on EVERY level this time... and the votes they are losing are the ones they so counted on in the past... the ones who habitually vote against their own best interests.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 5:18 pm
Sue H. - I agree that Sanity is a good thing, but Sanity without a sense of humor isn't so great. But if you have a sense of Humor, even the inevitable temporary spasms of INsanity are a lot easier to take... maybe even something to look forward to. Like Jimmy Buffet says, "If we weren't all crazy, we'd all go insane."

Saturday September 18, 2010, 5:26 pm
God help us!!!!!!!!

Saturday September 18, 2010, 5:55 pm
How can you not love it?

Yes, only a person, who doesn't like themself, could believe that sanity, without a sense of humor is, somehow, not great. If my sense of humor dies, so do I.

Any nincompoop, that tries to conpare ANY political party to a party of the past, has been in a coma, for a very long time. The parties of today, do not equate with, what was.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 6:05 pm
Hope this will be a ten million person march, this is great news. I love it.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 6:55 pm
I think having a CERTAIN amount of INSANITY in these TRYING times helps to SAVE us.I enjoyed the videos.They were CLEVER.

Yes! and Yes! EW is a game changer for the middle class and those not duped or bought. I want to go too! Thanks for commenting.

Stephen Hill,
"common sense and laughter!"

based on what people say and who they vote for and why....sense it seems, is not as common as we might wish but....hear hear to your toast none the less.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 7:11 pm
Karen C, I will be out there at the time myself, but we can spread the word and be thankful for those who laugh at that which is funny and lampoon that which is worthy of ridicule and use humor as a bludgeon against the stupid stolid assured who defend ignorance as virtue and those who are the wicked hand inside the stupid glove puppet who lies when its masters lips move.

Saturday September 18, 2010, 8:20 pm
have been on site way too many hours-don't know who'll see this. Thanks , all for some great humour, esp.. to Robert S. and Gregory H., both of whom I tried to send a star[ you cannot send a star...[Comment about "lidia" is worthy of Jon Stewart.) As for other anti-care poster- she does have a profile, and 1 star- probably from lidia! .......I.m mad because until 6 months ago, I lived near Washington, in Virginia, and could have gone !

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert through their humor will expose the missing ingredient in our society today;common sense. ("Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing".)
William James

Sunday September 19, 2010, 3:29 am
Stupidity is a disease that is spreading it's malevolent tentacles worldwide. We need leaders that know how to lead, how to fight for peace, leaders that the spoils of office cannot buy. If we the ordinary people can see this - why can't they?
Got to keep a sense of humour - doncha?

Sunday September 19, 2010, 4:09 am
Noted - Thanks Robert! Stewart and Colbert are just trying to wake some of us up - The display of stupidity in this nation is frankly embarrassing.

Sunday September 19, 2010, 6:58 am
I wish I could be there… Arizona is a long way from Washington DC… We need to support sanity in laughter…
We need to laugh at the fear, hate and know-it-all messages of Beck and naive, pathetic Pallin…

These guys think America should rule the world… with a foreign policy that believes that we can go around the world… kick butt… and have NO consequences…

These guys believe that Christian values should be in all laws and forget the separation of Church and State… freedom of religion… and other religions… The other guys in America do NOT matter...

These guys believe that the rich and big corporations (who make billions) should not be taxed… The Middle Class is shrinking in America under the Bush tax scheme (check it out for yourself)… They believe that the rich and big corporations are the ones who really contribute to society… The Middle Class does NOT have to be protected…

Beck and Pallin do not have to have facts… they have the ideology to get them through...

Sunday September 19, 2010, 7:27 am
Yes Bob, I totally agree and have a video which illustrates your last sentence.

Conservatives substitute principles for plans
Rachel Maddow reviews the litany of treatises and manifestos composed by conservative politicians and organizations in search of definition and in substitution for actual legislation base on ideas or facts.

I wish I could afford to go. Since I can't I wonder if C-SPAN will give full coverage to this Rally like they did to bird-brain Beck's Rally.

Sunday September 19, 2010, 8:42 am
Since these two great humorists did not plan their event to be on the day of MLKs speech, it will lack the macabre OMG or oh no they didn't, tabloid effect. But it has something else. A real and needed call to sanity vs Hannity which will resonate with the none Fox population which is most of us. Our humorous truth tellers are not cloaking what they do as some call to arms for religious zealots to claim the house is on fire because we want to tax the top two percent or live by our own Constitution, but will instead point out I hope, the paranoid delusional nightmare on its face aspect of this and other Beck rantings. They may have to count on sheer numbers instead of the car wreck effect to get the same coverage...

I say, "Yes they can". This tongue in cheek parody of Becks sick event will dwarf that which it parodies though we can count on some quarters to say otherwise, no matter what. Thats part of what "the funny" must combat and expose isn't it...

Sunday September 19, 2010, 9:27 am
Good on you, Sanity Rally, what a novel concept in a world floundering under the control of greed addict psychopaths.

Sunday September 19, 2010, 9:28 am

Speaking of Stupid. I know someone who went to the glen beck thing. Since his return he hasn't sent one hateful email, he stopped ragging on the Obama's , stopped telling me I would be sorry to back the wrong side. It is as IF, they were told to be silent, be quiet and stop the bashing until after November. I am very worried when these crazies get too quiet. Any humor , but especially Stewart and Colbert are going to give us a break from the mind numbing political newbees' of the real american teabag party. Aren't most senators at least educated ?

Stewart and Colbert are national treasures. They point out the absurdities in politics and manage to bring out the truth in an intelligent way thruough humor. I only wish I could go to the rally in Oct.

Sunday September 19, 2010, 5:34 pm
Robert, I just checked in here owing to a need for a combination of comic reprieve and enlightenment. Anticipating I won't be able to go to the rally, I greatly look foward to coverage of it and the prospect of your post about it on care2!
