Restoring Truthiness' rally: Colbert's answer to tea party?

It seems that the "Internets" have generated a movement of sorts, calling upon the host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," Stephen Colbert, to hold a "Restoring Truthiness" Rally in Washington D. C. sometime in the near future. The grass roots movement seems to have been born of an idea presented on Reddit to "see Stephen Colbert flip a mirror to the Tea Party and show them just how ridiculous they are."

According to TheNewsofToday.com, it has grown to include a website, mainstream media articles, a Facebook page, and a Twitter account, all pushing for Colbert to take to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial -- a la Glenn Beck -- and begin "restoring truthiness" to America.

For those unfamiliar with the term, comedian Stephen Colbert, faux-conservative news anchor, coined it during the pilot episode of "The Colbert Report" (2005) in the first of his popular "The Word" segments. It is a word with the general meaning of "gut feeling" without substantiated proof, a feeling one gets without evidence or intellectual investigation.

........ColbertRally.com is attempting to get the word out through "Operation Strike of Truthiness," and the word to Stephen Colbert that it is imperative that he conduct a "Restoring Truthiness" rally in Washington. They are conducting an e-mail and Twitter campaign to make the rally an actuality. The website is also pushing the Facebook page "100,000 Strong." On Sept. 7, the website called for members, fans, and those surfers to Google the term "Restoring Truthiness" until they developed carpal tunnel syndrome. It wasn't long before "Restoring Truthiness" made it to the #1 position on Google Trends.

Yes but do you really think Obama ("The Dog") will listen to them?

He won't play with it much: he's yet to finish playing with "immigration" or "North American Free Trade Alliance", after all.
