What We Saw at the Stewart-Colbert Rally to Restore Sanity

Reason.tv was on hand for the Rally to Restore Sanity And/Or Fear hosted by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert at the National Mall in Washington on Saturday, October 30, 2010.

The crowd was huge, the weather fine, the signs memorable, and the people...well, let's just say they were there too. Some were apolitical and just out for a fun day, some were big fans of Comedy Central's best-known personalities, some were inadvertent dadaists, and more than a few defined sanity strictly in terms of heartily agreeing with themselves.

Approximately 6 minutes long. Shot and edited by Jim Epstein and Meredith Bragg, with assistance from Josh Swain. Interviews by Michael C. Moynihan and Nick Gillespie. With help from June Arunga.

"You save more money by spending more money". HAHAHAAHAHA. What a dumba##!!!!!

[AliceNchainz011]

@slimchancejw The only way that would work for an individual is if you borrow more money except this time to start a business of some sort that turns out to be a success.

@kensei85 i was actually. and most people were dressed normally and acted like normal people. and are you referring to the pointless nonsense you willingly engaged in when you called people you disagreed with nutjobs?

[trevorthemonkeey]

fucking hypocrites and idiots

@awiley51 Social Security was set up so that 90% of the people, when reaching benifit age, would be dead. That is sustainable, why do you think they keep raising the age of benefit? Damn theives.

[asleeperj]

@awiley51 Everyone should give up their "entitlements," I have payed into social security for 9 years, I will NEVER see that money again. I am 26 years old, I will never see a social security check, the payments i make on a weekly basis go to current claims. Meaning instead of a trust fund, it is infact, money laudering. My money is taken, and given to someone else. There will be no money for the younge because there is no savings for the old.
