Colbert and Stewart Announce Rallies!!

Colbert and Stewart announce intentions for Marches on the Capitol!!!  We did it America.  My God we did it.  Our hard work has paid off.

We actually got competing rallies:

Last night, Comedy Central faux journalists Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert each made a "big announcement."

First up to the plate was Jon Stewart.

In response to "the loud folks," such as the Hitler-sign making folks, Stewart asks, "Why don't we hear from the 70-80 percenters?" – the majority of Americans who don't have extreme political views.

Enter the Rally to Restore Sanity.

"A million moderate march...a clarion call for rationality!" Stewart exclaimed.

With the motto of "Take it down a notch for America," Stewart is offering to provide signs with the "appropriate" level of political emotion, such as "I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler."

You could also go with "I am not afraid of Muslims/Tea Partiers/Socialists/Immigrants/Gun Owners/Gay...but I am scared of Spiders."

Pure genius I tell ya.

Not to be outdone, Great American Patriot Stephen Colbert counters:

To counter Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity and to restore "truthiness," Stephen Colbert announced his own rally: The March the Keep Fear Alive.

Calling Stewart's announcement "disturbing," Colbert says he will "not take it down a notch," saying that "Now is the time for all good men to freak out for freedom!"

And, "Need I point out that 'reason' is one letter away from 'treason?'" Colbert asks

I will sleep well tonight.

Editor's Note:  Okay, okay so it's not on 101010.  But we did get two rallies instead of one.  We accomplished more than we ever could have imagined.  Now I need to go back and check if The Fold Blog's sponsorship is still on since the date has been changed.

Also, maybe the Mission Accomplished banner is a little extreme.  It's not as if marching on the capitol is the same thing as liberating Iraq from the people who attacked us on 9/11.  But the marches could lead to something better like invading Iran and liberating them from the people who attacked us on 9/11.  I stand by my decision to use a Mission Accomplished banner for Great American causes that may or may not take another decade or so to sort out.

Second Editor's Note (hey it's my blog I'll do as many notes as I want):   The dueling rallies already have respective websites, Rally to Restore Sanity and March to Keep Fear Alive.  I'll also note, the site icon in the left corner of both those sites was no doubt stolen from my site.  Check them out, the resemblance is uncanny, and also proves The Fold Blog is an official sponsor!!!!!!!!!!!
