The Rally to Restore Sanity and-or Fear

The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear took place on October 30, 2010 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., led by Jon Stewart and an in-character Stephen Colbert. It was a combination of what previously were planned as separate events: Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity and Colbert's satirical counterpart, the March to Keep Fear Alive. The rally's stated purpose was to provide a venue for attendees to be heard above what Stewart describes as the more vocal and extreme 15-20% of Americans who "control the conversation" of United States politics. The point is that people become crazed when discussing politics and demonize each other, which is counterproductive. A return to sanity is intended to promote reasoned discussion. News reports cast the rally as a satirical response to Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally and Al Sharpton's Reclaim the Dream rally.
