In Defense Of Peter King (Counter-demonstration)

Today I attended the counterprotest held by supporters of Representative Peter King’s investigation into Islamic radicalism. A rally that was held approximately three blocks away from an event staged by radical leftists and Islamic extremists opposed to the very notion of Rep. King’s proposed hearings.

Sponsored by the Liberty Alliance-and co-sponsored by numerous anti-sharia organizations throughout the area-it attracted a wide variety of individuals, including many New Yorkers opposed to the construction of the Ground Zero mosque, such as the man pictured above.

The rally was in large part organized and emceed by Andy Sullivan from Blue Collar Corner, an indefatigable opponent of Islamic extremism and supporter of the men and women who sacrificed so much in the hours and days after the 9/11 attacks.

How many were there from both sides?

Bump

I didn't count the number on their side-the police forced us to be penned in about three blocks from the Kool-Aid Jamboree.

I'd say three or four dozen from our side showed up.

The weather was abominable, and I'm being generous in my assessment.

Looking around the web. Found this but comments were closed.

Lots of American hating mussies there.

Go King!

Thanks for the link.

I couldn’t let that one pass. Made me sick.

Great job!

For what it's worth, ThinkPrrogress is probably the most misleadingly labeled website in the existence of the Internet. So I wouldn't get too worked up about it.

[OddLane]

Thanks.

This was the first I heard of it. Some real crazies there.

I’ll not go there again.

Must wash now.

Here are some photos and video footage taken by a friend of mine from enemy territory.

Thanks OddLane.

[OddLane]

Don't mention it.

I'm glad I could be there, even though the weather was terrible, as I mentioned earlier.

Thank you for your Patriotism!

Good job.

I can’t remember the details, but didn’t a NJ Transit bus driver recently lost his job after being photographed at an anti-Ground Zero mosque rally ?

I'm not sure, but you might be thinking of this story.
