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.

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.

Where is the American media? Are there really just a handful that have the courage to practice what they preach? Is the blogsphere the only avenue of free speech still left in America?...

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:
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:
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

Michelle Malkin as usual doesn’t miss a beat: “Today, the NYTimes editorial board pretends to show solidarity….Excuse me? Remind me what day…I really love her, she always tells it like it is, no punches spared there.

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.

I’ll be curious to see if there’s any reaction from the whackos. There probably won’t be – they’ve shown themselves to be so restrained and “peaceful” lately.
