Stewart's answer: "The Rally to Restore Sanity," a "million moderate march" that will take place in Washington on Oct. 30. Story with video |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: John on the Sunset Coast Date: 17 Sep 10 - 10:18 AM Right on! And let's start by booting out Reid and Pelosi in November! |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Wesley S Date: 17 Sep 10 - 11:02 AM John - I don't know if you had a chance to watch the video or not. If you did - my two favorite signs that Jon Stewart held up were - "Bring it down a notch for America" and "I disagree with you but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler". |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Bobert Date: 17 Sep 10 - 11:28 AM Oct. 30th??? Hmmmmm??? Nuthin' else on the calendar... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Jeri Date: 17 Sep 10 - 11:39 AM Dueling rallies: Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. John on the SC, there's something for everyone. People can go to Jon Stewarts "Rally to Restore Sanity" or Stephen Colbert's "Keep Fear Alive" rally. Maybe there will be a barbecue culminating in a huge food fight. The Daily Show's" Jon Stewart announced on his show Thursday his Rally to Restore Sanity -- "a rally for the people who've been too busy to go to rallies, who actually have lives and families and jobs (or are looking for jobs) -- not so much the Silent Majority as the Busy Majority." The rally will be held "to beg America to stop shouting, throwing and drawing Hitler mustaches on people other than Hitler (or Charlie Chaplin)." |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Bill D Date: 17 Sep 10 - 12:33 PM "...start by booting out Reid and Pelosi in November!" *sigh*.... that's a current Conservative slogan, not a reasoned plan. Any idea that even contemlates putting Sharron Angle in the US Senate is flawed from the start. If you wish to replace Harry Reid, find someone who 'thinks', not a fruitcake who refuses to even talk to the mainstream media because she can't cope with questions about her idiotic remarks! |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Jeri Date: 17 Sep 10 - 12:44 PM So, then, you'll BOTH be going to the Colbert rally? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Ebbie Date: 17 Sep 10 - 12:57 PM Good for them. I hope tons of people attend and that the tone is reasonable, even light-hearted, in strong contrast to the yelpers. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Jim Dixon Date: 17 Sep 10 - 01:54 PM Sounds great, but I find it hard to believe a large number of people will travel across the country just to laugh at themselves and others. If it's televised, I'll watch it though. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Jeri Date: 17 Sep 10 - 03:15 PM If there were a bus going there from here, I'd be sorely tempted. I'd like to have a rally against doing the same shit over and over, whether it's a Mudcat argument or troll-feeding, political whinging, mudslinging and baiting, OR people complaining about other people who do the above stuff. I've had it up to here, no, to HERE, with people helplessly playing the same roles and regurgitating the same lines ("I did not ask for the anal probe...") in slightly varying ways. For Pete's sake, TRY SOMETHING NEW! Just for laughs, the next time you want to reply to somebody else's "same shit, different day", ask somebody else usually involved in that stuff to just reply FOR you. Maybe we should do a separate thread and pick our proxies, although I'm sure there will be volunteers. Does this sound interesting to anyone? |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: gnu Date: 17 Sep 10 - 03:42 PM I am undecided. Take that one for me Jeri. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Little Hawk Date: 17 Sep 10 - 03:48 PM YES!!! I think you are on exactly the right track, Jeri. ;-) Well said. There IS a real 3-D life out there for compulsive internet addicts, just waiting to be discovered, and, yes, personal change IS still possible. Think of the time and energy many of us could save if we just appointed the two most opinionated, hostile, combative people on this entire forum to do all our arguing here for us...and we did something more useful and enjoyable instead. I like it. Great idea. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: gnu Date: 17 Sep 10 - 04:17 PM SRS.... Hahahahahaha!!! "If you're against masturbation, why would you want to serve in Congress?" I am still laughing! Thanks!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Amos Date: 17 Sep 10 - 06:52 PM Dan, stop that. You know darned well there's no such thing as Sanity Clause. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Wesley S Date: 17 Sep 10 - 07:57 PM Yes there is - and he lives at the North Pole.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: katlaughing Date: 17 Sep 10 - 09:28 PM SRS, that is priceless. Thanks for the link, Rog and I were LOAO! Have sent the link to a few friends, too. Right on, or should it be Left on, Jon Stewart! I hope a gazillion folks get out there in support. Jeri, I think you are on to something! |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Jeri Date: 17 Sep 10 - 09:36 PM Kat, I'm not on anything, I swear. Well, nothing fun, anyway. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: mousethief Date: 17 Sep 10 - 11:12 PM Dan, stop that. You know darned well there's no such thing as Sanity Clause. Yes there is - and he lives at the North Pole.... You guys, sheesh. You've spelled the name wrong. It's Sanitary Clause. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 18 Sep 10 - 01:35 AM Wesley S and Mouser: "Yes there is - and he lives at the North Pole...." Tsk, tsk, you've got it all wrong....jeez, ya' probably weren't too good in Geography!....'Sanity-Land' is located in the regions of 'Galactic Central'..where LIFE comes from!! Just got off the 'Inter-Galactic Space Telephone'...They told me NOT to reveal where that was, that they don't want you to call them...they'll call you!! Waving, Guest from Sanity |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: GUEST,Wesley S Date: 18 Sep 10 - 08:30 AM Well - tell them to call me on my cell phone. I'll be at my sons baseball game this morning. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Bobert Date: 18 Sep 10 - 08:58 AM Well, I'll take a wait 'n see attitude toward goin'... Gotta remember that the Tea Party is very well funded with lobbiest money for buses, expenses, "community organizers" (no, Obama didn't apply), the FOX propaganda mill, etc. and that's how you get a decent crowd... If it looks as if the event is going to draw a decent crowd then I'll prolly go... Maybe hook up with some of my ol' homies afterwards fir a little jammin'... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: GUEST Date: 18 Sep 10 - 10:02 AM Wesley S: "Well - tell them to call me on my cell phone......" I'm not sure that cell phones is their only method of 'calling' you...just listen, though...it may happen! GfS |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Little Hawk Date: 18 Sep 10 - 01:30 PM It's time wankers and tossers everywhere got the respect they deserve, so I hope that huge demonstration has a lasting effect on raising the social consciousness, not to mention legitimizing ambidextrousness. Oh, and I hereby appoint Amos to do all my arguing for me...not because he is unreasonable or anything negative like that, but because he is highly intelligent, has the gift of the gab, and I think he'd do a great job at it. So....anyone here got a beef with me? You want a piece of ME??? Take it up with Amos. ;-D |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: gnu Date: 18 Sep 10 - 02:08 PM Yer sayin Amos can gobsmack em? |

Take it up with Amos. ;-D" So, You're throwing Amos Lightfoot out in front for 'cannon fodder'?? That's cheesy! (Not that I have any great differences with you...) GfS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Bobert Date: 18 Sep 10 - 06:59 PM Amos will do very well at the Jon Stewart rally and, wtheck, he might even get in a little overtime over at the Colbert rally to help with his expenses... I was talkin' with Jon about Amos parachutin' in an' the folks are workin' to see if they can get a permit to fly him into the no-fly zone over DC in a News7 helecopter... I think that wold be really cool... Maybe he could jump out with his geetar and play "Honey" on the way down??? B;~) |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Little Hawk Date: 18 Sep 10 - 08:50 PM Just savin' myself a whole bunch of unnecessary and totally nonbeneficial stress, GfS, by avoiding useless, endless internet wrangles with various people who are addicted to fighting over stuff... Actually, it depends on the subject at hand. I'd also be happy to appoint you to argue for me when it comes to some of the more contentious subjects where Amos is a bit, well, too much in the grip of partisan zeal to be entirely objective... So....anyone here got a beef with me? You want a piece of ME??? Take it up with Amos. Or GfS. Or Bobert. Or Slag. Or whoever fits the bill best. ;-D I know someone will surely step up to bat. I'll probably be playing guitar instead. |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Amos Date: 19 Sep 10 - 12:04 AM Tell you what; I am going to extend this proxy chain into a self-reflective screen, so you can take your beef up with your own self until you have worked out a satisfactory resolution. This will save all of us a lot of trouble. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: akenaton Date: 19 Sep 10 - 03:03 AM Little Hawk's not going to engage in discussion??? I thought God wasn't allowed to take a vacation! :0) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Little Hawk Date: 19 Sep 10 - 07:52 AM God IS allowed to take a vacation!!! ;-) And so am I. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Bobert Date: 19 Sep 10 - 12:35 PM And both well deserved, I might add... BTW, where does God go to get away??? B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Little Hawk Date: 19 Sep 10 - 12:50 PM Good question. Maybe She just shuts everything down for a bit, and we don't realize it, because we're shut down then too... ;-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Wesley S Date: 19 Sep 10 - 01:01 PM Naw - I'll bet she goes to Key West. That's where I'd go. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Bill D Date: 19 Sep 10 - 01:02 PM "...where does God go to get away???" East of the sun and West of the moon.... Hernando's Hideaway? "Being & Nothingness"? |

I know!..I think Bobert has taken on the mantel of 'Prince Valiant' for Ebbie. It used to be every time I posted ANYTHING Ebbie was there, right after, with some off the wall, ridiculous, senseless contradiction. She has 'Ebbed' and now Bobert's hillbilly logic is championing the cause..probably to impress her...(after all, she isn't bugging him about mowing the lawn). Oh well, Happy Valentine's Day! GfS |

Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Little Hawk Date: 19 Sep 10 - 01:20 PM Same to you, love! ;-D |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Ebbie Date: 19 Sep 10 - 01:30 PM Ha. I stopped because I realized that you will never change your persona. I still don't quite believe that you are as you portray. Nobody would purposely be that dumb. But I would like some examples of this statement: "it used to be every time I posted ANYTHING Ebbie was there, right after, with some off the wall, ridiculous, senseless contradiction." |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Little Hawk Date: 19 Sep 10 - 02:30 PM I'm working to change my persona much of the time. These days, for example, I'm working hard to become more forgiving (of both self and others). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: akenaton Date: 19 Sep 10 - 02:40 PM Oh come on Ebbs....we all know you still keep your stiletto in the woodshed. i.e. "I think Q lives in Canada Bobert." Ebbie's not god......she's a very naughty girl!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Ebbie Date: 19 Sep 10 - 03:03 PM huh? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Jeri Date: 19 Sep 10 - 03:03 PM Does that make two of you? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Jon Stewarts 'Rally to Restore Sanity' From: Wesley S Date: 19 Sep 10 - 04:18 PM I think these are examples of what the rally is all about.... |
