pro-Danish demonstration in DC
« on: February 24, 2006, 08:36:54 AM »
If you are in the DC area here is your chance to do something that the press is (for the most part) afraid to do, support the Danes.
Christopher Hitchens has organised a peaceful demonstration at the Danish Embassy. It is today between noon and 1 p.m.

Hitch

The incredible thing about the ongoing Kristallnacht against Denmark (and in some places, against the embassies and citizens of any Scandinavian or even European Union nation) is that it has resulted in, not opprobrium for the religion that perpetrates and excuses it, but increased respectability! A small democratic country with an open society, a system of confessional pluralism, and a free press has been subjected to a fantastic, incredible, organized campaign of lies and hatred and violence, extending to one of the gravest imaginable breaches of international law and civility: the violation of diplomatic immunity. And nobody in authority can be found to state the obvious and the necessary—that we stand with the Danes against this defamation and blackmail and sabotage. Instead, all compassion and concern is apparently to be expended upon those who lit the powder trail, and who yell and scream for joy as the embassies of democracies are put to the torch in the capital cities of miserable, fly-blown dictatorships. Let's be sure we haven't hurt the vandals' feelings.

My thanks to you Americans for sticking with us.

I had a feeling that even if your media and government were afraid to stand by us, the American people would.

and thanks.

The media and Government are standing with you....Just a little to the left and in the background. I have been giving the media Hell in letters to the editor. The letters to my Congressman bring a form letter telling me he'll let me know where he stands right after the next polls come out.
