During his remarks at a town hall in Richmond today, President Obama gave a plug for a rally planned by The Daily Show's Jon Stewart, called the "Campaign to Restore Sanity," contrasting the the tone of the spoof news show with that of its "purposely provocative" cable counterparts.
"What happens is these cable shows and talk show hosts, a lot of them figure out that, 'The more controversial I can be, and I'm calling Obama this name or that name and saying he wasn't born in this country, that will get me attention," the president said.
Part of the challenge of combating purposely provocative shows, Obama added, is creating a way to remind Americans that the country is not as polarized as cable shows would sometimes make it seem.
He continued that most people -- like the people who will be at the rally -- have more pressing concerns than to worry about the the political beliefs of others.

Isn’t the Jon Stewart thing at the end of Oct?
Yeah I think so. That one is just stupid, the marxists will be out in force tomorrow. Hopefully the ground hasn’t dried out too much.

Personally I think Obama wants to talk about something else to create an appearence of distance between himself and the racist marxists running the show tomorrow.
Tomorrow we need pics of the event from those of you who attend. I can’t wait to see the unwashed that nobama supports.
I’m not going anywhere near that hell hole. Its a pretty volatile mix they’ll have. Radical muslims, Jews, pro and anti illegal unionists
The edgy, rebellious Stewart gets a pat on the head from The Man.
Which is exactly what he wanted. Well, if he couldn’t have something more intimate.
if stewart want his rally to have any crediblity, he should call it off. All the leftists are taking over the rally. This was surpose to be a “moderate” rally yet he’s getting help from all the leftists group.
Glenn Beck relied solely on his viewers/listeners
He promotes this ridiculous rally while saying he wasn't aware or ignored the many rallies by people who oppose his ideology and the damage he is doing to our Colonies and nation!
