Stewart Colbert DC Rally, 10-30-10, Part 1

I took these photos at the "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear," hosted by Comedy Central stars Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert on October 30th, 2010. The rally took place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the same site where Fox News star Glenn Beck held his Rally to Restore Honor a few months earlier (for pictures of this event, please see this site's archive). The Comedy Central event was widely seen to be response--or more accurately a parody--of Beck's D.C. rally. While Jon Stewart's speech at the rally called for tolerance and lauded political moderates, many in the crowd wore T-shirts which more directly assailed Glenn Beck, the Tea Party, George W. Bush, and Republicans in general. This is the first part of a series.
