Big name acts, extensive crowd control, rules against video or audio taping even with your cell phone, boring political speeches … this wasn’t a rally, this was a U2 concert!

Great line. I like the part about the Cat Stevens imitator, too ;-).

I’m sure the author knows that, and that was written with a BIG dose of sarcasm. Note how he comes back to it in his closing remarks.

Well-composed articly but...

All I want to hear from Scott Tenorman, er, Hesh, er Jon Stewart after Demoggedon Tuesday is "de lamentation of de[se two] women".

How does this happen? Wasn't this event held in a public space?

"Restore Sanity"

Yeah they're for "Restoring Sanity" alright.
Like in this Picture: Pic 10 of 98 (link only, AP © photo)

The caption is: Man lies down atop portable toilet
At his feet is a sign that says; 'Team Sanity'

An aside;
What everyone needs in todays world of Digital Photography is an 'EXIF' Viewer app. That gives you ALL embedded info (metadata) about the photo: Time, Place, Owner (copyright), and... any caption of Photo's description. All that, and more, is embedded - part of the 'metadata'. You can use it for any picture that's on any web page. And for these 98 Pics of the moonbats, the 'captions' of the AP photographer are beauty's. (no bias what so ever)(/s)

There's a FREE Exif Viewer app I use. Jeffery's Exif Viewer.
Just follow the Drag & Drop instructions at the Top Right of the page.
No Downloading is required.

ps: It is much better than the Firefox add-on.
(Which I also have. In addition to my Nikon Photo Imaging Software.

As others have noted, it was sarcasm. And what was the reason for the sarcasm? Well, he was introduced simply as “Yusuf,” not Yusuf Islam. So, the super-smart hipsters who say we’re all operating on fear were afraid to use the name of a religion followed by over a billion people.

What a bunch of tools.

Lol. Good to know, but you know, it wouldn't surprise me if it had not been. People are not generally aware how big a mover and shaker Yusuf/Cat is in the jihad, both in England and places like Kosovo. Nasty character. Didn't think they had lifted the ban on him flying into the US, but of course this administration would probably put up Mohammed Atta in the Lincoln bedroom if they could...

the only thing funny about this rally is the neutral, at best, impact it will have on getting out the dem vote. half of that crowd won’t bother to vote and half of the voting half will vote repub. they just went for the freebies. Any broke partying college student will jump at the chance for free food, transportation, entertainment etc. regardless of ideology. I will say that while this rally was totally inane, it was refreshingly apolitical so kudos to the clowns for that.

I sure don't how they could even suggest that, let alone enforce it. I always thought that the National Mall was public and you couldn't prevent someone from taking pictures or recording an event happening there. Were their real DC cops and security hauling people away from the Mall that Federal taxes pay for?

I think the sign that stated they masturbated to COD pretty well somes up the answer to that.

Was Cat Stevens at the rally? I thought he was barred from entering the U.S.

Re: your tagline “gigaton warheads”...for Mecca?
