Reference their Great American Minstrel Show. I’m streaming live.

Got my vote. And I don’t generally vote.

1.5 k smiling folks, just like us.

Agree?

Is there love without peace? No, imho. Is there peace w/o love?

Doubtful, imho. 🙂

Stewart and Colbert deserve to be hit by a Greyhound Bus with their worthless bones scattered over 500 miles of highway.

Fuck them both in the ass.

Sure. People in love fight. Each other, and other people. Just because a soldier is in love doesn’t mean he won’t shoot you.

> Is there peace w/o love?

Of course there is. Peace just means you aren’t attacking people, it doesn’t mean you like them much less love them.

And, as consequence, need no defense (industry).

It’s an intriguing idea. Given their genuine commitment to call BS on all sides, I think yes.

This is a perfect example of the sort of thing they are fighting. Thank you.

Probably depends on whether or not anyone responds to Captain Midnight in kind. I’m hoping nobody does - if they do, he might feel he’s scored a point of some sort.

And in fact, allowing oneself to be provoked by remarks such as that defeats the purpose of the rally, arguably.

It might have been the star power but there were easily more people at this rally than at the conservative rally with Glenn Beck, Michelle Bachman etc.

A silly claim. Unless you think that all the world is going to suddenly and _permanently_ become pacifist starting…_now_…, a defense industry is necessary.

I humbly suggest that you need more laughs in your life. Go to a comedy club. Rent a funny movie. Something!

No, no. It was done with mirrors.

The mainstream media exaggerated.

You’re just wrong. I will provide a cite, but I’m busy at the moment.

It does not matter, since those present were not “real” Americans.

Very reasonable of you sir. A shining example of why the rally was failed from the start.
