good . . . i hope all cell phones go down.  so these motherfuckers can actually pay attention to the rally they are at, and stop tweeting every five fucking seconds.

Wow, other than the Roots, pretty cringe inducing so far.

Other than Eddie Izzard, The Roots and Jon Stewart, isn't there anybody any good playing at this event? (Please don't tell me Stephan Colbert. I fucking HATE that obnoxious not funny at all ass wipe.)

I heard a few strains of Ozzy, but couldn't get anywhere near close enough to see.

Although I'm a fan of Stewart/Colbert, I was pretty skeptical of this whole thing.  But people came and made it their own, which in general was a mass repudiation of the Teabagger movement.

I'd feared that it would overwhelmingly be douchey twentysomething hipsters trying to be ironic, which is what I imagine the Comedy Central core audience to be.    But it was a very diverse crowd in terms of age and walks of life.

The only person I saw who didn't get the memo was a sole 911 Truther... dude, you and your ilk are as wacked as the Teabaggers.  Cut from pretty much the same cloth.

Beyond that, we've had the media telling us for so many months that the teabaggers are a rising force, it was nice to be reminded that there are real Americans, from all over the place, who do not subscribe to their toxic creed.

I question how many people who were there only went for the entertainment vs those who subscribe to the intended politics of the event. No doubt they are not necessarily one and the same by any stretch of the imagination.

Jag, didn't you get the memo? This wasn't a political event ;)

Ah, come. You can't be that naive!

Typical politicians (of BOTH major parties); they say one thing and do another.

Anyone who truly believes that this isn't political is beyond brain dead and can't see the butt nakedness of their emporers.

the idea that this wasn't political is as ridiculous as the idea that the Beck/Palin rally wasn't political (which they claimed it wasn't).

I also question the idea that people didn't attend for political reasons.  I'd say the crowd was overwhelmingly liberal (except for the one 911 Truther nut).   People don't travel hundreds of miles for just entertainment.   Unless they're Phish heads.
