Jon Stewart announced on "The Daily Show" Thursday night that he'll hold a rally on the National Mall in Washington D.C., on October 30. He showed some of the signs that organizers would be handing out at the event, which had slogans such as, "9/11 was an Outside Job." He said the message would be to "take it down a notch for America." The event is called the "Rally to Restore Sanity," and is for people who think neither Barack Obama nor George W. Bush is Adolf Hitler.

This gets fairly close to November, and it is a bit chilly at this time of year. I’m guessing at best...maybe 20k folks showing up. The curious thing will be the crowd that does show up and the signs or flags that they bring.

“The curious thing will be the crowd that does show up and the signs or flags that they bring.”

And the trash they leave behind.

It's a free comedy show so there will be an audience.

The sad thing is, for many young people Jon Stewart is their source for news.

This is nothing more than an attempt to mock the 8/28 rally and an implication that those who are fed up with the downward spiral of our country are not “sane.”

Look for the Dems to bus in as many union goons,entitlement dependent no-accounts and vacant-eyed Leftist moonbats they can conscript.

You just KNOW the DNC is behind this stunt.

You're right, it is intended to mock 8/28. What are the chances it would even happen had there been no 8/28?

Stewart's self-promoting, to be sure. But the National Mall belongs to all Americans including leftist slugs with comedy shows.

...for people who think neither Barack Obama nor George W. Bush is Adolf Hitler.

From what little I've observed about their audience, that means half of them will be excluded.

Nobody but the LaRouchie idiots compares Barack Obama to Hitler. That was a standard trope of the Left against George W. Bush.

“...and is for people who think neither Barack Obama nor George W. Bush is Adolf Hitler.”

The left’s new tactic-the rehabilitation of George W. Bush. They are becoming so sick of the legitimate attacks on their total loser Obama that they are now speaking kindly of Bush hoping that we’ll all forget about 8 years of their non-stop vitriol and cut incompetent boy some slack. Fat Chance Of That!

Jon Stewart better remember to bring waterskis, a jump ramp and a shark. They can set up the stunt in the Tidal Basin.

When I go to Tea Party rallies, I drive nine-hours round trip to stand around in the rain, because it is my civic duty. When I do, I meet a lot of people who have come from much, much farther away, and who have made much larger sacrifices to be there.

Who is going to cross the block to see these clowns do their stupid show? I hope it rains.

The more the GOP Establishment is exposed as Democrats Light, the more the land under the muddled middle shifts.

They are coming to see that the major issue with Bush and the GOP in the last decade is that they were too close to being Democrats themselves. Thus, the actual middle of the country is within the Republican party, between the ‘moderates’ and the constitutionalists. But there’s suddenly no virtue in merely wishing the size of government and our national debt to grow just a bit more slowly.

I predict the marijuana smoke will be thick at this event
A stoner’s delight
Legalize marijuana and you will see more such inane garbage. Everything is a goof. Yuk yuk yuk yuk

This will attract the same dumbass crowd that lines up to see a live Letterman show in NYC
