MithLuin Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Of course, they claimed that rally was both nonpartisan and nonpolitical. There were no candidates there, and the point was more to protest heated protesting than anything. Basically, it was a gathering of listening to music outside, while holding amusing signs. (I think) That being said, the people who attended were from the Left side of the political spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus_lol Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 [quote name='dominicansoul' timestamp='1289185801' post='2185661'] colbert was part of the recent political rally in D.C., where far-leftists gathered to spike their votes for pro-abortion politicians, so, no, I dont think Colbert really is someone I would look to for a catechism lesson... ....what he speaks of on the View is all emotion and fluffiness... [/quote] Completely wrong, DS. That rally was not associated with any political party or candidate, and was entirely for the purpose of supporting Bipartisanship and working together politically, and reducing extremist views from both sides.

[/quote] Do you ever watch either of their shows? Yes Stewart is a liberal(pretty much everybody has some sort of political affiliation) but rarely lets it bias his show. They have been after that goal for a long time now, btw. Not to mention that particular rally was originally concieved many months back, and was actually at their fans request that they do something like that. And at least somebody is interested in working together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becks was quite obviously a anti-liberal/pro republican rally. really not very surprising that there wasnt liberals there, and the speeches given hammered that in. In Stewarts rally it was ostensibly about bipartisanship, and the main speeches were very focused on that goal, not on putting one party over the other. Conservatives would have been welcome, if they had wanted to mingle with people in other parties.

[/quote] Everyone is interested in working together. So long as that means the other side gives in. There is no compromise in many areas. Letting you in front of me for traffic in no way compares to permitting you to kill people that merely inconvenience you. Or permitting you to give my property to someone else for their sole use. There is no compromise in the state diminishing my right to self defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[quote]can you back that second part up somehow?[/quote] ....just google "pro-choice america stewart/colbert rally" and you will find the proof that they were a definite presence at this rally, and they were there for the sole purpose of "recruiting."

He has mocked Obama a good bit, but then Obama showed up on the show, not to mention the countless republican candidates and newscasters/pundits he has had on the show.

[/quote] I've seen Stewart roasting Obama for spewing the same stuff Bush was spewing, particularly in regard to privacy violations and foreign Statepolicy. It was pretty impressive. I'd trust Stewart over any other news anchor, and that's not hyperbole. ~Sternhauser Edited November 8, 2010 by Sternhauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
