Internet Petitions Stephen Colbert To Hold 'Restoring Truthiness' Rally At Lincoln Memorial

Now with its own website and Facebook group with over 8,000 members, the call for Colbert to hold a rally is spreading through the Internet like wildfire. Aside from being a satire of Beck's rally, the petition claims the rally is necessary because, "Recently our nation has suffered a truthiness drain."
The website gives a history of the newly founded movement, with links to news stories and a poster for the rally, which proposes the date "10/10/10." The website also states:
"Restoring Truthiness is a true grassroots movement propelled by YOU, the citizens of the internetz. Our goal is simple: Petition Stephen Colbert to hold a Restoring Truthiness Rally for the American people."
Given Colbert's love for his "Nation" and ability to satirize the Right so effectively, this almost seems like something Colbert would have thought of himself. While he is on vacation at the moment, it will be interesting to see if he addresses the petition when he returns to host "The Colbert Report" next week.
Those interested in furthering the movement have been asked to join the Facebook group, spread the word, or email support@colbertrally.com for more information.

The signs look favorable for the rally to happen since Stephen mentioned it on his show and hinted that Jon would be involved also.
I'm betting that Stephen would pull out all the stops like he did with his presidential campaign and show the "truthiness" of what sponsors all similar rallies like Bud Lite Lime, Nacho Cheese Dorritos, Goldline and Lifelock.
The point of the satire that will unfortunately be missed by those that most need to understand it, is that it is ALL a dog and pony show for entertainment, THAT'S the "truthiness" since there is NO difference between the intentions of this rally and others because they both only will sell products for their sponsors.
Expecting :substance" out of any of them is as bad as mistaking what Stephen Colbert does to be "serious"

A friend that works as a bank teller said every so often they still get people that come into the bank to check if Obama has deposited money in their name yet? Isn't hope in the government wonderful?

HahaNAH~REAL difference is, Colbert changes channel (refresh, still looks so smooth!)
~steps up, THEN steps up the pace all over again
~ NO plaintive, whiny nasal pleas, if you please
~ EMPATHETIC BANGIING OF FIST by practiced hand
~> simply calls attention alone to that matter ON HAND.So technically, it's CLEARING your head, not filling it up with whatever, er, else... you were going for. If you don't like looking a Papa Bear in the face... stop staring at bears in the first place... you crazed chimp!

I would expect that would cause Stephen to be just as serious as he was at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
If he didn't falter under that kind of enormous pressure, then he can stand up to any size crowd.

Mr Ed. reminds me of a Horses Ass. Crapping as he walks and makes noise.
All this Bull Shit " I wanna copy that March !!" is sad. I would like to know why not ONE Democrat running for office has the balls to say what damn party they are running for. So and so for Rep. so and so for what ever, and all of them omitting their party affiliation. At least the Republicans have nothing to hide and say who they represent. - 1 year ago

Looks like Mr. Ed is taking a piss, as they say over the pond.
Republicans omitt who they are and what they represent all the time, mostly in the last 15 years. It was a small loophole in their "Conrtact with America". They are under a gag order and aren't allowed to disclose how they support large corporations, that through govermental deregulation & judicial seccesion of "we the people's" power, have put themselves at the very top of the great American pyramid scheme.
Republicans should have to end each TV ad by calling themselves
the party of the haves & the haves more - 1 year ago
