Expose the Left
February 24, 2006

Thanks so much to Luis at The Age of Hooper who attended the event and sent in video of Christopher Hitchens speaking at the Danish Embassy this afternoon. I wish I could have attended, but wouldn’t have been able to make it down in time.

Michelle Malkin has links to photos, accounts, and reaction.

Instapundit also has pictures.

My favorite comes from The Political Pitbull:

    Jeez – any 10 year old in the world could create a prettier “FREE SPEECH” sign than what this adult made. Sure sign that he was deprived of LEGO construction blocks during his youth. His parents must have been into deconstruction, instead, – but I guess he turned out allright. heh heh

    I’m glad the Danish are sticking up for themselves. They should have published the cartoons about Jesus, too, though. They were showing a lot of prejudice there, but it is still their right.

    Free speech was just a pretext for cartoon sponsor Flemming Rose. His association with Daniel Pipes is all you need to know.

    And, as the Pope observed, “causing grave offense is a curious way to sell free speech and democracy.”

    Is it too much to expect Rose, Pipes and Bernard Lewis to fight their own wars for once.

    I agree:

    Brothers and sisters, I just thought I would thank everyone for coming and say how touching it is that people will take a minute from a working day to do something that our government won’t do for us, which is quite simply to say that we know who our friends and our allies are, and they should know that we know it. And that we take a stand of democracy against dictatorship. And when the embassies of democracies are burned in the capital cities of dictatorships, we think the State Department should denounce that, and not denounce the cartoons.

    Well said, Christopher.

    Sadly, a coward is our Secretary of State. A total COW-ARD who should get white feathers and middle fingers from America for failing to stand by our ally as they go through their equivalent of 9/11, 3/11, of the London summer from hell (7/7, 7/21)... There is NO excuse for standing alongside and excusing a bully – there is EVERY excuse for sending in the F-16s and bombing Damascus in retaliation for the attack on the Danish embassy.

    In closing my furore, may I remind you of what Britain’s swashbuckling hero Tony Blair said on 7/7:

    It is through terrorism that the people that have committed this terrible act express their values, and it is right at this moment that we demonstrate ours. I think we all know what they are trying to do – they are trying to use the slaughter of innocent people to cower us, to frighten us out of doing the things that we want to do, of trying to stop us going about our business as normal, as we are entitled to do, and they should not, and they must not, succeed.

    When they try to intimidate us, we will not be intimidated. When they seek to change our country or our way of life by these methods, we will not be changed. When they try to divide our people or weaken our resolve, we will not be divided and our resolve will hold firm. We will show, by our spirit and dignity, and by our quiet but true strength that there is in the British people, that our values will long outlast theirs. The purpose of terrorism is just that, it is to terrorise people, and we will not be terrorised.

    Indeed, we will not be terrorised by these Islamofacist thugocrats!

    Let the back pedalling begin. First “The Times” shows phony solidarity and soon CBS, NBC, and the C-word channel will climb out from under their desks as the cartoon story recedes. “Oh, we were right there with you.”
    What a joke they are.

    Skip, causing grave offense is exactly the purpose of free speech protections. Without such, there would be no other freedoms.

    Causing grave offense and inciting no violence is the only way to prove speech is free. The muslims proved the opposite.

    Not the extreme muslims. All of them. This is a sad time for freedom.
