Jon Stewart Rally to Restore Sanity By Nikky Raney

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart announced on his show Thursday, September 16 at 11 pm EST that he will be hosting a "Rally to Restore Sanity".

This rally will take place on October 30, 2010 in Washington DC. This rally is obviously a way of mocking Glenn Beck's rally. This event is also dubbed "Million Moderate March."

Signs will be made available. The slogans on some of the signs will say: "9/11 was an outside job" and "I Disagree With You But I'm Pretty Sure You're Not Hitler.

Stephen Colbert announced on The Colbert Report that same night at 11:30 pm EST that he would also be hosting "March to Keep Fear Alive" the same day as Stewart at DC's National Mall.

The event will attempt to gather 70-80 percent of American's who are not extremists on either side.

  1. This will be interesting. I know Colbert/Stewart (largely Colbert) have started some pretty interesting movements. The naming of a Hungarian brige etc... But they were largely movements that came from being active online.

    And with both shows being based on the premise of being a 'fake news show' and a 'fake conservative bloviator' it'll be interesting to see how this translates. Consider Stephen Colbert's previous attempt at running for President. It's reminiscent of Jesse Ventura's bold plan to run for President using a Wrestling storyline - to create something authentic from a "manufactured" premise.
