Appearing on the “Daily Show” yesterday, the Huffington Post‘s Arianna Huffington didn’t throw anyone under the bus when talking about host Jon Stewart’s 10/30 “Rally to Restore Sanity” — instead, Huffington threw her buses behind the rally.
“We are getting a HuffPost bus,” she said when Stewart asked how she was getting to the rally, “and if there is anybody here who is not sure how to get there … just come to the Huffington Post, 560 Broadway in SoHo, the bus will be there [and] we’ll take you with us.”
“We have as many buses as there are people to fill them,” she said, and added “I promise.” Later she told Stewart, “you just work on the message, I’ll work on logistics”:

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 9:10amHuffington and Stewart just don’t understand what 8-28 was about. They still think it was a political rally so they are doing their own political rally in opposition. 8-28 was about a love (and fear) of God, and love for your country. These people can’t fathom these things, it’s as alien as a moon rock to them.

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 9:04amObama’s innauguration had 1,700 nus reservations according to the Park Service. Beck’s 8/28 had 1,100 spaces used. A pledge from Ariana for her one bus is a great start for 10/2/10 to really cut Glenn’s rally down to size. BRW why has that number never been published? If you do the math, I believe 1,100 buses equates to roughly 90,000+ people by themselves.

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 9:03amI don’t know too much about this Ariana Huff. But any pretty lil thing who would sit on a bus with these other people needs a head examination. Think about it. If it were you when you were younger wouldn’t your mom/dad stop you from being w/people like that? Maybe the bus(es) will forget to turn and drive into a ditch.

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 8:53amits funny how the libs really cannot find anything wrong with the message of 8/28. all they can do is make fun, becasue when it comes to facts they have no leg to stand on. they want people to believe they are grass roots, but the whole thing is supported by lobyist and activist groups and alot have the words SOCIALIST and COMMUNIST in the names. the supporters of these are paid lobbyists nothing more. actors, not real people. would i be supprised if they get more people…no. again its a roll call at a movie, not a movement. I fully support johns rallies because it only goes to prove how silly and desperate they are. SEND IN THE CLOWNS!

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 10:36amGlenn Beck is one of the most disliked Fox personalities (by the left), because he tells the truth about the entire progressive agenda from the core. He attacks the left where they live. Even progressives are disavowing themselves from Obama, but they can’t disavow from themselves. Beck doesn‘t want to trade book promos with Jon Stewart like O’Reily did because Stewart’s audience has nothing to offer Beck. Let‘s face it O’Reilly is a moderate, not a conservative, and the left gives him a pass – not so for Beck.
Now, I like Jon Stewart as an entertainer, but I think he panders to his audience because he is making a ton of money. Beck is NOT an entertainer despite what the left says about him, He takes his message seriously, so it doesn‘t do Beck any good to pander to Stewart’s audience. There’s your reply.

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 11:05amI hope Glenn does invite Jon BUT NOT FOR ANY TYPE OF DEBATE. Who can tell the funniest and clean jokes.. who can do the best satire. Can you imagine the amount of viewers this would bring. Once you tune in and se Glenn, I bet many Progessives will tune back. Jon will also see Glenn in a very different light.

Now we are calling them the establishment..wow! They should be appalled being called establishment! It is sad as I watch what is unfolding with such abandon the demise of our way of life, what the 60′s radicals always wanted…We can alter their plans armed with our constitution..we must…Remember never compromise what this country was deemed to become just because a few radicals think we are stupid, asleep, or whatever..I bet chances are this rally won’t drive a point home like 8/28 did…

Here you have the same old unions and far left groups having to pay people, feed them and bus them in to get anyone to go. They are paid protestors not people who gave up their time and own money to attend the Restoring Honor rally. A liberal won‘t attend their own funeral unless it’s paid for by someone else.
