The Rally to Restore Sanity And/Or Fear

[Cara.]

Couldn't go but doing the next best thing.

 

Watching it live

[Jacpher]

Thanks for link Cara. Wow what a huge turn out.

 

Only in America could this happen.

 

Great comedy.

[Libaax-Sankataabte]

Glen Beck must be crying in his office today.

[Prometheus]

How many people attended the event? Good to see Yusuf Islam in the mix. Too bad I'm not in Virginia. Would've driven up to DC with my nephew and niece.

[Cara.]

Estimates are at about 150K.

 

It was entertaining, but like all liberal rallies the sheepish self-deprecation did not exactly make for rousing sloganeering.

 

"WILL THIS HELP?"

[Che -Guevara]

^Does it really matter?

[N.O.R.F]

How could you guys near the east coast not attend? Just reading about it and seeing some the placards is hilarious.

 

Kudos to Stewart and Colbert. Tonight's shows should be good lol

 

Che, the event will bring about world peace.

SOLers, I didn't know Stewart had this many viewers from overseas.

 

Norf, DC is about six hours drive from where I currently reside, five hours if I drive crazy LOL, but why would I be driving to a rally that has no clear intentions at all. Just like Beck's recent canatarabaqash, this rally didn't have any meaning at all.

 

P.s. I love the Daily Show with John Stewart!

[N.O.R.F]

Zack,

 

The meaning is in the title coupled with satire. Some of the statements they made were funny. Check theguardian.co.uk for statements and pics.

 

Ps you should have driven maan.

[The Zack]

^LOL@you should have driven.. War meeshu ma dhawa plus like I said before the two comedians were just trying to be funny in person as they have been on TV for too long wax kale ma jirin.

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

American politics. It is never far from being insane.

 

I don't know how Soomaalis live there. I too waa waalan lahaa, Eebba ha naga qabtee.

[Chocolate and Honey]

I love John Stewart. Obama was on his show last week and it was awesome!

[STOIC]
