Rally to Restore Sanity

What Does Twitter Say About The Rally to Restore Sanity?

The Rally to Restore Sanity, put on by Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert, certainly promises to be a highly publicized event. As the pre-show gets started, the buzz online is simply incredible. Thus far over 3200 people have checked in at the event alone at FourSquare.com, meaning that the actual number of people where have to be in the tens, if not hundreds of thousands. In fact one report has the total at over 150,000 people. Here are what people around the internet are tweeting on Twitter.com related to the rally itself:

- Wishes she was in Washington D.C today for the Rally to Restore Sanity/Fear. Colbert grins and I giggle.
- Signs At “Rally To Restore Sanity” More Entertaining, Less Racist Than Tea Party Signs
- We play a homecoming football game every year… but how many times do they have a “rally to restore sanity and/or fear”
- So far the Rally To Restore Sanity in Washington, DC is The Roots with John Legend in concert. Where the heck is the political comedy?
- Rally to Restore Sanity: tons of happy peeps hugging it out. This is pretty sweet.
- Wanna call in sick just to watch Rally for Sanity. Does that count?

Certainly, this is one historic day for Politics, as well as comedians alike.

    I’ve watched a few minutes here and there of the Sanity Rally. Maybe because I’m not there, but it didn’t hold my attention. I did watch Cat Stevens perform for a couple of minutes, but he was not too entertaining.
    And an appearance by Ozzie O. is just silly.
    It’s live entertainment but it has the feeling about it that they are just trying too hard –

    It is unfortunate for you that you weren’t more patient and didn’t take the time to look a little deeper at what was going on. Perhaps that is part of the problem being addressed by the rally in the first place. Taking a little more time to listen to one another rather than making snap judgements…that was what it was all about. Considering the over 150,000 people in attendance, the estimated 10 million viewers and other sattelite rally participants across the country, and the 1000s of comments and entries on face book and twitter in just the last 2 hours or so, I think it is safe to say that this rally had enourmous participation by people that did care to take the time to listen and be a part of something wonderful and historic. Needless to say, the content of what was said and accomplished here today, amidst great musical performances with thought-provoking lyrics and the expected Stewartesque comedy and Colbertisms, truely should make every American proud. Jon’s closing speech was clearly one that should be in the history books…inspirational, thoughtful, insightful and most importantly bi-partisan. He (and his production team) should truely be commended. And you missed it. Well, there’s always YouTube.
