Is The 'X Factor' Bloodbath Over?
Now here is a rally worth rallying behind.
If thousands of 'Colbert Report' fans get their way, master funnyman Stephen Colbert will host a Washington, D.C., event, titled "Restoring Truthiness," to show the world just how silly the nation was for paying any attention to the overblown Glenn Beck "Restoring Dignity" rally a few weeks ago.
In case you aren't a fan, Colbert on his nightly "news" show parodies conservative news talkers in the mold of Beck and Bill O'Reilly. His inane questions of real-life news makers and funny yet faulty findings on the top news items of the day make viewing worthwhile.
A Facebook page dedicated to Colbert's Restoring Truthiness rally has drawn 17,000 members.
The Colbert rally would provide a perfect satiric counterpoint to the Beck rally, which for some unknown reason captured the attention of news gathers around the world.
Beck is nothing more than an entertainer -- not much different from when he worked as a radio DJ. Tea Party people deify him for his paper-thin defense of conservative values. Progressives demonize him for his anti-Obama rants and thinly veiled homophobic and racially discriminatory views. Both sides are wasting their time.
Meanwhile, Beck is laughing all the way to the bank -- happy in the mere accomplishment that he has people actually paying attention to him.
I really hope Colbert's Restoring Truthiness rally comes to fruition. At least with the Emmy-winning satirist, we will all share in the laughs.
Watch Colbert at his best here:

Glenn Beck is the greatest.He is a best selling author,has a hit radio show,has a hit TV show, and has millions of fans. As for Glenn Beck's rally getting attention from the media,maybe it was because there were hundreds of thousands of people at the rally. Poor Paul,you are so filled with hate and ignorance,but that's what it takes to be a liberal in America today.

Colbert would be humiliated by the small turnout and the whole stunt would backfire. And it was the "Restoring Honor Rally". I don't understand the problem with the Beck rally, there were no arrests, people cleaned up after the rally, what is the problem?

Glenn Beck is a hustler who takes advantage of all you racists who support him - im sure in private he laughs at how stupid you all are even as he makes money from you!

StephenColbert's rally will show the world that there is still truth in America! But the world already sees some truth coming from America through President Obama and others who are mostly Liberals, Christians, and some conservative who finally see it.

Colbert also has a large following, and it seems to be growing.

YES COLBERT DOES HAVE A LARGE FOLLOWING. HE IS A COMEDIAN JUST LIKE GLENN BECK IS.
THE DIFFERNCE BETWEEN COLBERT AND BECK IS; COLBERT DOES NOT FABRICATE LIES LIKE BECK DOES.

I only have one problem with Stephen Colbert. Sadly, he's married.

As much as it would be great this rally can never happen. We work and/or go to school, I would do my best to visit his rally just for the fun factor, then I get to meet the other stone-slacker well educated liberal elitists (sarcasm). If it does fall on a Sunday 10/10 it would be tricky for the people with jobs, get a flight Friday or Saturday, visit the rally and be back at work on Monday. Unless the airlines massively increase their flights for the weekend at reasonable prices its an uphill battle.
