Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear: A Comprehensive List of Signs
October 31, 2010
#1 Thing You Need to Learn from this Post:
The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear is worth developing into a robust case study for how integrated (broadcast and online) media can drive offline action. One immediate lesson is how the organizers channeled the attendees’ desire to express themselves thru the old school media of the sign.
A More Detailed Exploration:
I experienced the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear through my laptop computer. One browser had the Comedy Central live feed (mostly in HD), another had the CSPAN live feed (slower delay and different camera shots), and a third had Twitter searches for rally-related hashtags. At the same time, my iPhone was feeding me updates and alerts via text messages and a specially designed Rally app.
While there is no official attendance count, most sources agree it was somewhere between 200,000 – 250,000 people who came out for this event on the National Mall. Like with many aspects of the current era, the event could not be put into a neat category, blurring the lines between entertainment and politics. While this event was hosted by an entertainment company (Viacom owns Comedy Central), those attending came mostly to make a political statement.
Wisely, the event organizers created a channel for those political statements to be made using an old school medium: The Sign. More importantly, the organizers set expectations for how attendees would use those signs (encouraging people to stay true to the event’s goals).
Here is a comprehensive list of the signs that’s been created using photos and the hashtags #rally and #actualsigns. Feel free to add others you saw but aren’t listed by leaving a comment.

Saw an “Elect Palin/Voldemort 2012″ sign
Thank you so much for this list! I am loving all the signs I could find via google search. Your list tops them all of course. I saw a Tweet that says:
Spotted: little girl in a princess dress with the sign “I’m taking back my tea party”
I haven’t been able to find a picture of this sign. Would have been so awesome.
It’s on the Huffington Post website in their sign gallery. No telling how long you’ll have to search to find it, but it’s a fun search!
#357 was mine and my husband’s. We enjoyed all the reactions to it.
I saw this sign at the rally: I’M NOT A SOCIALIST . . . but I like public libraries
#201 “It’s OK to know things” was ours. Got pretty good reactions to it. The other side of the sign was “YES, WE CAN handle the truth.”
“Don’t Be A Dick” -Wil Wheaton

I <3 my Muslim, Socialist, Foreign-Born President
My husband and I wore jackets that said:
I AM AN AMERICAN
I AM NOT AFRAID
Hoverboards Now
&
My text messages are grammatically correct.
We had a huge sign that said “hi” on it, and we greeted people as they came out of the subway…it said “Things are pretty OK” on the other side, at least that made it onto the list
Wow awesome post.
My sign said: If you let fear die, the terrorists win!
My shoes are united
A couple that got missed:
Free Lohan Now!
Restore rationality to our elections, demand rank order ballots
by the way, the back of the sign that said “The people behind me can’t see” said “I hate crowds”
I liked Glenn Beck’s rally better. Zero to no costumes and zero to no signs. Oh, and how many American flags were being waved by rally goers?
The right is laughing at the Stewbert rally.
Certainly, having Yusuf Islam, the Artist Formerly Known As Cat Stevens at the rally… yeah, that was sane.
http://wadingacross.wordpress.com/2010/10/30/the-irony-that-wasnt-sane-nor-fearful/
@Sadie: That sign was my roomie’s — there’s a closeup in my post today! She’ll be tickled to see this…
I’ll also add mine to the list:

Incredible! It’s going to take me a while to wade through all of these and really appreciate them for the beautiful expressions they are.
“Don’t be a douche.” Love it!
I think I got a few you didn’t, but you got many, many more than I did! May I link to your list? I’m just a little blogger, not political usually, just daily stuff, but I did list a few posters. I love your list. If you want to see my list, just check out the day of the rally; there are too many to list here. Thanks, Michele
Michele – please feel free to link away – be sure to add any great signs we’ve missed, too!
Thanks! I’ve made two more, mostly useless comments that you can delete, but I did include a link to my list, which is actually pretty different than yours, and a link to my blog which I neglected to include the first time which might be nice. Michele
Canadian version: “Liberals are Tories too.”
Comparing our lists, I do think I got several you didn’t. Here’s a link to my list: http://gossamerstrands.blogspot.com/2010/10/comedy-central-rally-to-restore-sanity.html

“We the People elected our president”
So true. We have the power to vote them in, and vote them out. Let’s exercise that right!
http://ginzotalk.wordpress.com/2010/11/01/what-am-i-exactly/
Some of these are just fantastic! It certainly would have been a fun event to be a part of. Lots of like-minded and not so like-minded individuals I would guess…
You have gone through so much trouble collecting all the signs!…lol… enjoyed reading them though… very interesting post. LOL@41!
Wisconsin is a Myth
It was a good event and it was also good to see the unity and the fun.

Thanks for taking the effort to put this all in one place! The creativity of some of the sentiments restores (in part) my faith in humanity.
My sign said “Our Tea Party is Better Than Yours” (we were dressed as mad hatters) a lot of people got a kick out of it. The rally was a blast!!!
Received via text message from my 17th Match.com date (who attended the rally and took a picture) “Apathy is okay I guess…” http://www.katrichterwrites.wordpress.com
I saw a picture of one that said “Canada: Not your retarded cousin”
This is awesome. Thank you for putting up the list. I could spend forever going thru it. May you be at peace.
SWEET! This is amazing. I wish I could have been there…
This is a fantastic post! I went to the Rally and the signs were one of my favorite parts of the day. I wrote a blog post about my experience, too, if you want to check it out!
http://lavpaige.wordpress.com/2010/10/31/sanity-restored/
You say,
“We have nothing in common…”
“…no common ground to start from…”
& I said,
What about Breakfast at Tiffanys?
You can tell I should be grading papers, but I’ve been browsing your list again, and I can’t resist adding a few of my favorites that made my list and not yours:
Be sane, not inane
Disagree–Don’t criticize
Go Vote Yourself
Moderate to the Extreme
Palin Would Have Quit
This is like totally our Woodstock
Who Brought the Fried Chicken Y’all?
http://gossamerstrands.blogspot.com/

Some of my favorites (most from Huff Post gallery, last 9 spotted personally

Socialist, Nazi, Racist, Communist. “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” – Indigo Montoya
It’s a sad day when our politicians are comical, and I have to take our comedians seriously.
I have no problem paying taxes because I’m an adult and that’s part of the deal.
War isn’t free. Pay your taxes tea baggers.

Don’t Jump to Conclusions. Jump Rope with a Muslim.
FREE HUGS (from a Militant Atheist with a Gay Agenda)!!
Soon Chuck Norris will have had enough of this shit. Then we’ll all be sorry.

So many gray areas, so little gray matter.
People Who Gain Respect by Yelling:
Politicians

I Want My Country Back! Or a Pony…One of the Two
Restore Sanity. Rev. Glenn Beck Remove Your Church from Our State.
Anyone for Scrabble Later?
Hyperbole Eats Babies
I Heart Boobs
Say No to Hate. Say Yes to Pancakes.
Boobies are Great. I think we can all agree on that.
Those signs are awesome! Glad the rally went so amazingly well.
There were some absolutley brilliant signs at the rally – thanks for noting so many of them.
Crazy People for Sanity
Fear our Reasonable Might
Time Lords for Sanity
EXTERMINATE: Daleks for Fear
Hyperbole is the worse thing ever!
I came for the buffet
SQUIRREL!
Thanks so much for putting this list together. It was an incredible day, I am so happy I got to be part of it. My favorite sign was held by a black man, and it went something like
Reverse the Civil Rights Movement. I was HAPPY at the back of the bus!
I almost peed myself.
Whoa. That’s a long list. Thats really funny, though!
More Tortillas With Fajitas: The Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnB-zcUqCPQ
I saw one that was something like: “The economy is a complex stochastic engine where effects are separate from causes by many years”. Another one would be hard to replicate because I don’t know the Arabic characters, but it had a word with them and then it said: “Relax…It means McDonalds”
#302 demonstrates that the person writing it has never seen Star Wars. The destruction of the Death Star was made possible by the treason of Princess Leia Organa, a member of the Royal Family of Alderaan. It was she who carried the stolen blueprints of the Death Star to the Rebels (terrorists.) As Alderaan was a member of the Galactic Empire, this betrayal and the destruction it caused can only be classified as “an inside job.”
“I’m As Moderate As Hell”
Here is me at the Mall: http://bit.ly/dsjf3M
The rally had less comraderie than I had hoped for. But that may have part of the uniqueness of this massive gathering. People came not with the same opinion about something but with a devotion to the respect for (or at least tolerance of) other’s opinions.
Two more posters:
Fear is Contagious – Use Sanit y Precautions
Rally, to Restore Sanity = Starry, Loony Literates
Funny list !! Really admire the ingenuity behind them.
