Rally for 'Sanity' Had Its Share of Hatred
Milling around the Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert rally today, I couldn't quite figure out the point. The acoustics were so bad also that you could barely hear anything unless you were right by the stage. Straining here and there, I was able to catch a smattering of dialogue but Colbert and Stewart really could not be heard during most of the time in the various locations I was at. Not being able to hear anything didn't seem to bother most of the attendees however, most of whom were wandering around looking at many of the funny (and attempted funny) signs.
Not all of the signs were trying to be funny, however. Most of the ire of the angry demonstrators seemed to be directed against Glenn Beck and Fox News. There were also a few anti-Republican signs as well, including at least one of Republican politicians Sarah Palin, John Boehner, and Eric Cantor with Adolph Hitler mustaches alongside conservative talk show hosts Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.
I took several shots of the rally, see them below or view them fullscreen here.

Restoring Sanity Was A Joke and So Is Obama!

While millions of -- out of work -- Americans were wondering how they are going to pay their bills, feed their families, get to work, or where they are going to stay the night, Obama was pinning his political "hopes" on these two jackasses.

Jumping around as Captain America, stars and stripes and all, implying that they were sane and all that came before--the sponteneous tea parties, Beck, and so on--were not. Uh, OK...you get to be the coolest EVAH...now back to reality. And now Stewart can never even be a fake newsman because he is not a newsman of any sort--he is an operative.

I posted a quick summary under the Open Thread today. But here are some observations:
-When I arrived, it seemed like the more "interesting" signs were displayed on the sides. Lots of anti-Fox News stuff. Scrolling through the posted photos, I don't recall seeing those. On the walk to the Mall, people were selling T-Shirts saying "I make Glenn Beck cry". That's the only very obvious Beck reference I can remember seeing.
-I finally got settled in the middle-to-back area and the crowd was fine. I kept a low profile though.
-I mostly just people-watched and looked at the signs. Some signs were good. Others were bad. Most of the signs had a sarcastic tone.
-There was very little diversity. I'll be interested to see how the media tries to explain that.

The main difference that I can tell was that Hitler was 'legitimate' - in that he actually worked his way up and paid some serious dues along the way, before he finally got his power. He was also a very staunch supporter of German 'greatness' and had severe national pride........
Boy Barry has been coddled his whole life, and has no experience to back up the position he's in now - much less any other position that he might hold.

I think you are appropriately and suitably well 'self named'. I have often thought about the similarities between the rise of Hitler and the rise of Obama. The big difference so far being, America is no longer under Obama's spell. I think we wised up fairly early on, maybe around the time he held his beer summit after wrongly condemning a police officer doing his job. I never was fooled by the guy after I read and heard just a little bit about him and his parents, especially, his mother, so I held my nose and voted for McCain, but some awfully embarrassed people are finally waking up to what they foolishly did on election day 2008.

You are right, but then again Obama is a dead ringer for Mao, Lenin, Stalin, and Trotsky. Particularly Mao's policy of the great leap forward and Stalins policies against the Kulaks.
How about these similarities?
Submitted by TheHistorian on Sun, 10/31/2010 - 2:26pm.
Hitler came to power with the assistance of his Brownshirts. Obama was helped in his election by HIS brownshirts, namely the Black Panther Party, union thugs, ...
Hitler had his SS. Obama wants an internal security force that is equivalent to the military.
Hitler was half Jewish and hated Jews; Obama is half white and hates whites (e.g.comments about the grandmother who raised him). Beck's comment about him not being racist by being anti-colonialist also bears this out.
So, Jer, there are some examples on how he resembles Hitler. I would have to research it more to give you more, and frankly I am not willing to waste my time. I am sure that someone else can give you examples of how he is like Mao Zedong, Stalin, or other tyrants if they want to bother trying. The bigger point is that he resembles Hitler a heck of a lot more that GWB.
However, my opinion is that he and his are closer to the Weimar Republic the way he is running our currency, economy, and country into the ground. Maybe a cross between the Weimar and FDR with some Wilson thrown in?

Obama's only hope is dependant on two phases.
1.) The conservatives who are swept into office Tuesday are successful in readically reducing his stimulous spending, lower marginal and corporate tax rates and destroy Obama care in 2011.
2.) Then in early 2012 when the economy booms the morons on the left and those in the media are easily convinced that it was his foolish "Stimulous spending" that was the cause of the economic recovery.
Idiocy is his only hope.

Not only are you the author of the funniest post in the history of Newsbusters, the site's premier researcher and trollbuster, but you just demonstrated your keen eye for historical and political truths unburdened by ideological influences.
I will concede to a couple of areas of similarity between Obama and Hitler: They both assumed power during a time of economic crises within their respective countries and both enacted programs providing for massive government spending in an effort to ameliorate the severity of those conditions. [Hitler's spending was directed largely toward German rearmament, whereas Obama's was non-military in purpose.] Hitler was reasonably successful in reinvigorating the German economy, whereas, thus far at least, Obama has not enjoyed similar successes--an understatement indeed.
The other point of possible similarity is the fact that each had a messianic appeal which aided in the political advancement of both men--although in Obama's case, much of that appeal has already been seriously eroded. On the other hand, the 'Hitler as Messiah' phenomenon extended over a much longer period--perhaps fifteen years.
Any other similarities are trivial and inconsequential, in my opinion. And, frankly, several of the "alleged" points of historical convergance between the two are not just nutty, but are outrageous slanders.

I watched quite a bit of this. I do not know why, nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon.
It was boring, weird, it lacked humor, granted I have never found these two clowns humerous. The crowd was not very enthusiatic. Yes, they applauded, cheered, but it was FAR from a pep-rally type of thing.
While I watched I was expecting something more, more upbeat, more enthusiam.
I just saw two morons who easily persuaded a crowd of mostly 20 to 35 poorly informed white Americans to do, say and participate in a rally of nothing.
After watching what I watched, I felt ashamed of being an American. I turned to my wife and asked her, "did I give up my Venezuelan citizenship and become an American for this type of garbage?!" I am glad, however, that the crowd was merely 150,000 compared to Glen Beck's 500,000.

But you're right- this country is destroying itself from within by ignoring the truth of the matter (in more ways than one) and there's really not much we can do about it until the crap hits the fan and the people have no choice but to wise up. Pray that it happens soon and quickly so that we can recover and live our lives as true Americans should- with no fear of subversion by any entity or currency, "foreign or domestic."
this whole thing reminds me of this...

They seriously compared Beck to the Master of Manos: The Hands Of Fate? LOL That makes no sense in any context!

Not one journalist or media outlet will characterize the Sanity Rally crowd as mostly white. Why did they say that for Beck's crowd? They of course were implying that the crowd that follows Beck is racist.
The outrageous bias that dominates the media is really getting to me.

That's it? One sign? NewsBusters is generally on target, but i think they jumped the gun here with this "hatred" comment... If this rally was questionable in any way was for being utterly boring... But all this hatin' just sounds petty..You folks better watch out

I have found that the people who hate Fox News hate it SO MUCH they have NEVER even watched it. I wonder what it's like to make a sign... "Honey, does Fox have one X or two?" "What do you think, 'Faux Noise'...do people still say that?"

No surprise that the irony of some of the signs went over the head of the Newsbusters people. The sign with the hitler moustaches with "Afraid yet?" was probably supposed to be an ironic sign for the fear part of the rally. There were also many other signs that made fun of Hitler posters. One I really liked was a picture of Hitler without his moustache.
Yep...No suprise

Not that I wouldn't trust your word. It is your fault that your sense of humor sucks.
Cat Stevens and JP Morgan

OK, we saw that terrorist sympathizer, Cat Stevens, at the Rally to Maintain Buffoonery, but does anybody besides me find it interesting that JP Morgan Chase uses a Cat Stevens tune "The Wind" in their latest commercial?
OK, trick question. Sharia lending and all that.

All the pictures I've seen show a rally at least as white as the MSM claims for tea party rallies or the Beck rally.
What a bunch of racists Colbert and Stewart assembled.
