‘Sanity’ supporters flocking to Washington
omedy Central hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will hold the “Rally to Restore Sanity” and the “March to Keep Fear Alive” on the National Mall on Saturday, with thousands expected to flood in from across the country.
The event comes months after conservative Fox News host Glenn Beck held a “Rally to Restore Honor” in Washington, in which thousands of conservatives and Tea Party faithful attended.
While Stewart has insisted that the rally is not a result of Beck’s march, the event’s Web pages appear to copy the look of Beck’s event, and many say it’s a direct response to Beck’s often-controversial comments.
