SAMMENHOLD: FOR DENMARK (VIDEO ADDED)
***update: video of Hitchens' speech at Expose the Left...courtesy of Age of Hooper, which has more photos...more video here...***
Instapundit has photos of the pro-Denmark gathering at the Danish Embassy convened by journalist Christopher Hitchens this afternoon. Looks like there was a great turnout.
Lovely photo spread over at Vital Perspective.
Blogger Greg Tinti was also there with camera and reports:
The mood of the event was unbelievably positive and all the signs and banners were nothing but respectful. People came to express their solidarity with Denmark and support free speech and that's exactly what they did. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and met some great people too.
Greg estimates there were about 200 people and a lot of media. A few of his photos:
Hitchens addressed the rally
Made with LEGOs!
Bill Kristol was there.
Lots more.
Wonkette's David Lat has more pics...and requisite snark.
Marc G. posts a photo of Hitchens and Andrew Sullivan at Flickr.

It's great that we have free speech, but this is America we are not allowed to smoke? j/k

Amen to that!!!
Freedom of speech should not be subject to Sharia.

Read my tagline! If you can't read Danish, it roughly translates to "Stand by Denmark!:)

Thanks for the thread.
FOX News just had a few minutes of reporting on the assembly. They said about 150 people came. They also gave some info on what the Danes have done supporting the WOT. According to FOX, per capital, they are the most generous nation in the world. They even sent 10 water purifiers to N.O. after Katrina.

Thanks you for supporting the rally and especially for reporting to the rest of us the "mood" of the event.
The pictures show a happy respectful group. It is so nice to see PRO events instead of all ANTI ones!
Freepers are the best BUMP!!

Hitchens is quite a draw, and deservedly so. I saw him recently in New York facing off against Playthell Benjamin at Cooper Union. It was supposed to be a debate about the Iraq War, but it turned into the usual loud, almost incoherent Bush bashing from one side and some well-reasoned, well-stated comments from Hitchens, so there was no real debate per se. When the hatemongers came to the mike during the Q&A I left.
Thank you all who attended this to support the Danes.

I'm sure I saw Evan Coyne Maloney in the crowd.
