[Tatiana]

14. This rally was truly more brilliant than what I thought.

This comes on the eve of a mid-term election.

The theme is all about working together, not being afraid, and using logic and/or reason to make judgments.

How will the extreme candidates like Sharron Angle, Ron Johnson, Joe Miller, etc. sound after millions have viewed/experienced this rally?

I really believe it has the potential to tip a few of the close races in the right corner.

[Whisp]

42. This is really perfect. Glenn Beck hide your head in shame.

[givemebackmycountry]

45. Kid Rock?

Ok
Now I am open to anything, because everything I thought I knew my not be accurate.

Maybe it's just that music is music and if you got some soul, you get to stay on the stage.

[stray cat]

Yeah, Jon got some of the samall stuff wrong. But, overall, it was great.

Nothing wrong with that.

[Whisp]

112. go stuff it, KeithO.

http://www.c-span.org/Special/Live-Social.aspx

[pinboy3niner]

107. Okay, it's a relief not to have to babysit this thread any more

It was a GREAT rally, exceeding my expectations. Well done--and kudos to Jon and Stephen!

[pgodbold]

109. Thank you for this thread! It rocked! nt

[ElsewheresDaughter]

110. They needed to push the "VOTE on TUESDAY" thing alot more....I don't think I heard it said once..sad

[bikebloke]

111. Just back in door.

With the bike, I couldn't get too close in through the crowd. So many people. At least with a teabagger crowd there's enough room to swing a trebuchet. Shot lots of photos and a few video clips.

[pinboy3niner]

114. Looking forward to your pics/video

Sorry you couldn't get closer. :(

[SpookyCat]

113. I have seen Cat Stevens and Ozzy perform in tandem. My life is complete! :-)

[madmax]

115. Sanity - No Fear

Thank you Jon and Stephen. I have been a nutcase for awhile now over all the craziness in the media. In Jon's speech he showed clips - oh hell you guys watched.

Feeling so good - not scared anymore. Perspective - I had lost it, Jon brought the focus back. The way this was put together, the music, the comedy the guest appearances. It was a trip down memory lane for me. Reminded me of the 60's without the violence. I cried tears of joy and relief.

It's good to feel free of fear and to have a bit of faith and hope restored.

[pinboy3niner]

116. It was good for both sides

We political junkies--on both sides--can nitpick, but the calls into C-Span indicate it played well with the man/woman on the street.

[madmax]

119. Great thread - thanks for reining it in. nt

[opihimoimoi]

117. KnR for SANITY

[pinboy3niner]

118. K&R

Oh, darn. What the heck am I kicking this thread for? I wanted to be DONE babysitting it.

Curse you, opihimoimoi! You suckered me in again. :)
