Over 250,000 attend Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s ‘Rally to Restore Sanity and / or Fear’ – SEE VIDEO

As for Irish central being biased.. yeah, Daniel O'Connell refused donations from Irish American slavers for the Repeal cause too...may be out of touch with the American heartland but not so much with Ireland..

mrkennedy what a strange creature you are? I hear there were 7 carts damaged at the Hill of Tara gathering of approximately 1,000,000 in 1843 and people only went because of the fiddlers.. and in fairness it the English press called it only 750,000 which is less than 1.5 million... and they were all young too.. Accept it, people care about their country..

NY news is wrong. Trust your own eyes, you could see how large the crowd was for the Restore Sanity Rally from the TV footage and pictures. Don't let denial delude you. It was at least 200,000 people.

Watching idiots underestimate the numbers who attended Stewart's rally, you can see how easy these people make the job of corporate media and those who control it. It bothers them to think that there are more reasonable people than there are idiots, so they choose to believe the comparatively small crowds that went to see Beck were, in fact, larger than the actual crowds that went to see Stewart. If they were smarter, they would know to be ashamed of themselves.

Yea bronxjames, Tops 60,000 obnoxious, (see their posters on YouTube) bully-boy, Liberal brats throwing a temper tantrum. GO REPUBLICANS!!!!!!

Don't need obamacare we have one of world's best public/private health systems.Obama tried and the party of no stuck up for their rich health insurance mates.You yanks love cutting off your collective nose's to spite your face.

Where did they come up with 250,000. According to NY news it was more like 60,0000

seano...don't they have medications in aussie land to treat your senility? Or maybe it IS medications that are the problem. You need a good dose of obamacare.

The mean spirited tea baggers are upset because Beck was upstaged by more intelligent speakers and larger crowds. Go suck your thumbs.

My neighbor who is a D.C. policeman says that the 250,000 is not accurate. The number was closer to 200,000. The great majorty were people in the 20's who were there for the musical entertainment! In addition the Communist and Socialist parties were there in numbers carrying their signs. Also 5 police cars were severly damaged while at the Beck rally none were damaged.

Tea-baggers, Palin, Beck, etc. are a cancer on America. Period.

250,000 is a preposterous number. Why not just go with Stewart's 10 million estimate... And as for restoring "sanity" that's problematical since "sanity" has always been minimal anyway for the lunatic Left. But I will concede that the egos of Stewart and Colbert were stroked fairly effectively. Sorry wingnuts, it takes more than red koolaid, drum circles and mimes to be politically relevant.

I was at the Library of Congress and saw Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon and Jesus Christ walking down Independence Ave. Some of the signs were hilarious. "My wife thinks I'm hiking the Appalachian Trail," "I didn't learn hate in Sunday School," ... then there were the people chanting "THREE WORD PHRASE" over and over. Great fun.

Cathy, I was there. Your 250,000 number is far exagerrated.

Yes, let's hope the Rich and Stupid Party trounces the Cowardly Party on Tuesday.
