Stewart Rally-goers: Sane=Liberal

Published



Yesterday’s “Restoring Sanity” rally sponsored by Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart of the Daily Show and Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report attracted young fans of the shows, self-professed moderates looking for a toned down debate, and great deal of partisan liberal Democrats.

The rally seemed to be a goof on many of the Tea Party rallies and particularly of Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally in August. On his program, Stewart has poked fun at some of the antics and activities of the Tea Party, but yesterday’s rally, held the day before Halloween, had its own share of goofy get-ups and arguably less-than-sane protest signs, as you can see in this video.
