While it seems like so many of Jon Stewart's adoring fans in the media are elated to see a counter-Tea Party, not many have been willing to call this event what it is - an event to belittle people who are exercising their rights as citizens to protest their government.
But Fox News Channel's Greg Gutfeld, the host of "Red Eye" took a stab at it on his Sept. 22 program. Unfortunately, it broadcasts on at 3 a.m. Eastern time (and still manages to beat CNN's prime time lineup in the ratings). In case you missed it, Gutfeld applauded the event as a gimmick, but questioned the sincerity of it as a true meaningful political rally.
"So last week Jon Stewart announced he was going to hold a rally of his own in Washington D.C., to restore reason, sanity or whatever," Gutfeld said. "[N]ow, it's a cute idea - not as good as a gay bar next to a mosque [something Gutfeld had proposed in response to the "Ground Zero Mosque"] - but it's an appropriate, hipster response to the tea parties and Glenn Beck's thing. It's exactly the thing that the bald nerdy guy in glasses from The New York Times subscription commercial might attend and feel totally good about himself afterward - which raises an interesting question: would Stewart have announced his event if those other events had a decidedly liberal tilt?"

How about: “Give me Liberty or not. Either way I don’t care.”
Especially since Andy decided to start lecturing us on illegals and “gay” rights.
Just seeing some of his tweets are telling, he loves mocking conservatives and religious people to all his leftwing “journalist” friends.
Well said, ”… Hollywood = court jesters. Nothing more, nothing less…
There is a very long list of jesters which can be found at: http://www.boycottliberalism.com/Dishonorable-mention.htm
With the likes of Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Al Franken, David Letterman…
While they attempt to entertain trying to establish pop-culture as credible, are just cheap versions of Johnny Carson…even Letterman is a shadow of himself. Stooping to a level of absurd attempting to validate lack of knowledge, illogical thinking, poor education, deconstructed history, Political Corruption, practices of Marxism/Leninism, Leftwing follies, and if it feels good just do it… We can guess the left would require or have a need to keep a dumb-down audience to maintain spectators or a following.
LOLOL!
I don’t get it - I thought it was ed schultz that started this thingee. How did stewart & colbert get involved in this? And, why is it now stewart’s project? I don’t think they’ll get anywhere near Glenn Beck’s 8/28. Especially, if they have to put out their own money.
They won’t get close to Beck’s rally.
