I realize that Jon Stewart is a comedian, which I think many have forgotten this last week, as attention was focused on Washington, D.C. and the Rally to Restore Sanity. I heard a lot of complaints from friends that attended, hoping for this so-called rally, to be some sort of organized political event. You put Stewart and Colbert together though, you get something fun...it was not intended to be a rally towards anything. I really appreciate the idea of the rally, even if it was more or less, ineffective. It grabbed at people's attention and hopefully made people think about how ridiculous some of these crazy extremists are.
Anyway, I wanted to post this, because I personally really appreciate what was said and strongly agree with a lot of what Steward is getting at in this clip. He's got some really great thoughts in here! Let's see a little more love, people!
"This was not a rally to ridicule people of faith. Or people of activism or to look down our noses at the heartland, or passionate argument or to suggest that times are not difficult and that we have nothing to fear. They are and we do. But we live now in hard times, not end times. And we can have animus and not be enemies."
