8. that analogy of each person in a car on a jammed freeway

with different beliefs, etc. with the "you go, then I'll go", etc. was brilliant..(wonder which freeway that was)..

Jon Stewart rocks.

9. Jon Stewart for president 2012!

:kick:

[verdalaven]

21. No, No, No

The minute he goes into politics, we will have lost one of the most (reasonable) powerful voices we have in America.

May he always host the Daily Show.....and perhaps annual rallies to restore sanity!

[KeyserSoze87]

27. Well...

I guess you do have a pretty good point. He would make a great president though.

[Lifelong Protester]

10. He is absolutely on target.

Sorry for those who don't get it. Reasonableness. Pass it on.

[lunatica]

11. Great speech

This rally has been such a spirit lifter! I'm surprised at how much better I feel.

[mindwalker_i]

12. Couldn't agree more

It seems like the world calls for Stewart's message, and it was delivered at exactly the time we needed it most.

[Tippy]

13. K&R.....Thanks Jon and Stephen

[shireen]

15. i hope MSM plays it later ...

that was an outstanding speech. really really outstanding.

love that man!!

[beac]

16. As was saying on another thread, I hope that a bit of his speech gets shown on the evening news but

I'm betting the MSM will go with a goofy moment instead so they can continue to poo-poo the rally as "entertainment."

[JitterbugPerfume]

17. I love John Stewart

[jillan]

18. So nice to hear a speech like that right now.

[Lindsey]

19. Wow. What a speech. I agree, the car analogy was perfect

and incredibly inspiring.

[tinymontgomery]

20. I'm from NJ

and it just cracked me up when he said the light at the end of the tunnel could just be NJ.

[highplainsdem]

23. I've lived in NYC and there were many times I was glad to see that NJ light.

I hate tunnels.

:hi:

[sally cat]

22. He went from goat to God in the matter of a few days since interviewing President Obama in an

arrogant fashion.

[lonestarnot]

[Laurab]

[redirish28]

28. Must be heard by EVERYONE in this country.

[madmax]

29. LInks to speech - I've tried 5 and can't the damn

transcript. One is a blog and won't let me print it, the others require that I unblock my pop-up blocker and then takes over and I can't get it. Shit! :mad:

31. Thank you Love,

Welcome to DU. I'm high on the Peace Train and love everyone today. Ask me tomorrow ;)

[madmax]

32. I'm not calling you out as anything but,

I went back to that link you provided and that seems like a very right wing website.

Just askin because of the website and your low post count. At any rate Welcome to DU. Hope you'll contribute in a positive, meaningful way. And and I do appreciate the link to the speech regardless of where you got it from. :)

[Mean Gene]

33. Thanks

Thanks for the welcome. Feel free to call me out any time needed. I didn't know this was a right wing site until I just went to your link. I found my link through Google and didn't go to the higher directory to see where it was from. I just went straight to the link.

Low post count due to low posts. Just registered lately, but have been following this site for nigh on 6 or 7 years. Found y'all thru the Liberal Curmudgeon site.

Grew up in Fl, Traveled and saw the world in the AF. Stayed in Ms and went back at work after 15 years of retirement. and Katrina.

Hope to post more; and again,

Thanks for the Welcome.
