Colbert Merges Halloween With The March To Keep Fear Alive (VIDEO)

Last night on "The Colbert Report," Stephen Colbert dedicated a segment to the March To Keep Fear Alive and addressed the fact that it falls on Halloween weekend. He also shared some valuable information on exactly WHAT we should be afraid of, and encouraged everyone to wear costumes to the March on October 30th.

The March to Keep Fear Alive is obviously about being scared, but there are many things to fear, for example "immigrants who came here after our grandparents" or "Katy Perry's breasts," as Colbert pointed out. One town in upstate New York has expressed a new kind of fear that Colbert was fascinated by: Dead muslims. Sidney, New York tried recently to have a private Muslim cemetery removed from their town.

"Usually when you die, your threat level decreases significantly," Colbert said. So the only logical conclusion is: Muslim vampires. Colbert gave some advice on how to keep them away such as wearing a bacon turtleneck, because "a crucifix won't work" and "a drawing of Mohammad just makes them madder."

But fear isn't the only aspect of the March To Keep Fear Alive. As Bill O'Reilly pointed out, the march is on Halloween weekend, so Colbert is embracing the holiday and encouraging all marchers to "come disguised as whatever I've taught you to fear."

We can't wait to see how many "Warewolf Blizters" and "Al Frankensteins" show up to the march!

IRONIC the majority of Tea Baggers are retirees and blue collar workers and they are supporting Rand Paul who wants to eliminate Medicare and Medicaid for American seniors. Joe Miller who wants to lower the wages of American workers and eliminate unemployment benefits for all Americans despite the fact that his wife already collected unemployment from Taxpayers. For the first time in US history Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell are campaigning about changing our abortion laws to force woman into incest or procreate with rapists. Sharron Angle also believes that government should not require insurance companies to cover autism or maternity care despite the fact she is using government health care and the list of anti-American proposals from Tea Baggers Candidates goes on and on. True Republicans and Democrats need to stop the Tea Party on November.

This is quickly snowballing into a once-in-a-lifetime, can't-miss event.

A costumed meta-rally at the Washington D.C mall with literal sanity and figurative insanity entwined like lovers in some cosmic dance, attended by (amongst many other things) lions and tigers and bears? Oh, my!

Isn't this similar to what the Christians did with Xmas and the Pagan's winter solstice festivals? Colbert, you bad boy.

In all seriousness, I once heard that present-day Halloween evolved out of the notion that all the evil spirits had to be scared out of the vicinity so all the good spirits could have a nice pleasant All Saints' Day walking the Earth unmolested.

The coincidence was not planned, but was most certainly "divine providence."
