You see, when no African-Americans appeared at the Beck rally, it was due to 'racism'.

However, no African-Americans at the Sanity rally is 'satire'.

It is a subtle difference.

Mind, No One showed up at MY "non=rally", of any color (see earlier thread) so I was the 'winner'

I mean, just one of those left of center denouncing it? Hello? Anyone out there?

If they can't even manage to do that how can anyone take those in here seriously when they call for "sanity"?

The people holding signs in the past with Obama with Hitler mustache, or Bush with Hitler mustache, didn't realize how ridiculous the signs were. They thought they were making a valid political point about Obama. But they were really making a point about themselves. And hence, they get parodied like today.

Personally, when I see a poster of Obama as Hitler, it doesn't make me angry. It makes me laugh. Not at the sign, but at the sign holder.
did the people with the bush as hitler signs realize how absurd they were, and did they make you laugh?

the 'return to sanity' appears to have been a fleeting moment in time..

other then finding them childish and stupid (the bush and obama stash pictures) niether bother me.

But if you can't see the difference between this event and those posters, it's not worth the effort to continue on the topic.

And no, I only post here with one name.

So how was the rally? Ive gotta be honest with you, I didnt pay a bit of attention to it. Though I was scrolling through the TV this evening and saw something on Univision, so I stopped. Saw a scene with Ozzie on stage, not sure what that was about. I dig Ozzie's music but why was he there?

Oh well, I dont know what the plan was for the rally, what the point was, but if they managed to have a good time, while keeping it clean and with no bashing of this person or that person or this group or that group, and if they cleaned up after themselves then I guess good for them.

The only problem I would have with this rally is that the sole purpose of having it seemed initially just to mock Beck and anyone else who isnt a liberal. I was a bit irritated that the coverage of this rally by the media seemed to be fair. Yet when Beck held his, he was constantly ridiculed and bashed by most of the media, even the ones who held the rally today. But oh well, I expect liberal media/hollywood biased......but it still sickens me no matter how much I am use to seeing it.
