Stand Up for Denmark Rally

An update to Christopher Hitchens’ call for a rally at the Danish embassy in Washington DC:

Update, Feb. 22: Thank you all who’ve written. Please be outside the Embassy of Denmark, 3200 Whitehaven Street (off Massachusetts Avenue) between noon and 1 p.m. this Friday, Feb. 24. Quietness and calm are the necessities, plus cheerful conversation. Danish flags are good, or posters reading “Stand By Denmark” and any variation on this theme (such as “Buy Carlsberg/ Havarti/ Lego”) The response has been astonishing and I know that the Danes are appreciative. But they are an embassy and thus do not of course endorse or comment on any demonstration. Let us hope, however, to set a precedent for other cities and countries. Please pass on this message to friends and colleagues.

Bump to DC Chapter?

[W04Man]

Ooopps I ment Ping to DC Chapter?

[mickie]

I cannot get thru to LGF.
Wonder if their site is blocked today?

Anyone else having trouble?

[sasafras]

To hell with Demmark they made their bed let them sleep in it. When they are ruled by Islam and everybody is forced to live by the koran then they will wish that they had the balls to stand up for freedom. Like most people here in the US - our freedom is slipping away and liberals are taking it one piece at a time. The best thing for Demmark is to allow them to taste a little of the oppression that they have allowed and fostered.

No Problems here. Check your Internet Options - you may have the security level too high.

[pageonetoo]

You don't get out much, do you?

Have you visited Detroit? They have a BIG Mooselimb population. I live near DC. They built a HUGE mosque (training facility).

If you go out innearly every town in America today, you will hear Spanish spoken. I doubt if the people speaking are all here legally.

The Danes have done no more or less than we, by accomodating others into the country. But, they have the same problem we have here, with the aliens refusal to assimilate into the culture. The problem here is about whether the press should be prohibited from printing political cartoons. Would you like to prohibit free speech here? I don't.

You have every right to your opinion. But, you probably just don't know any better!

[MplsSteve]

I wish I could be there. I'd most definitely be there if I were in the DC metro area.

[Theoden]

Denmark has troops on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has been a coalition member from the very beginning. Denmark has the strictest immigration/deportation laws in Europe. Denmark reelected a very conservative prime minister, who is a good friend of the US. Denmark has always been a good ally and trading partner. In fact, the Danes are one of last truly-pro-American people left in the world. I guess these reasons just aren't good enough for an intellectual giant such as yourself.

Instead of hoping that they succumb to Islam, why don't you try to encourage and help those who are our friends? WTH is wrong with you?

[Sisku Hanne]

I can't agree with anything you said or the way that you said it.
But I do like your tagline.

[Camel Joe]

I would like to purchase a Danish flag to fly beside Old Glory on my porch. Can they be purchased on line? I have given up my Kanadian beer for that of the Danes so I may as well show some support outside my refrigerator.

[Camel Joe]

Um... they actually support the war on terror, are you confusing them with the Dutch?

[Capriole]

What are you talking about? The Danes have taken a firm line with the Muslims and are now restricting immigration, insisting upon respect for national law and culture, and refusing to apologize to the "offended" Muslims. We have not done so much in this country. If a similar incident took place here we'd fall all over ourselves apologizing to "the religion of peace" and making sure that none of them was discriminated against.

I admire the Dutch, the Australians, and the Danes for the strong stance they are taking. We are in no position to criticize anyone because we have opened the floodgates to immigration ourselves.

DC Chapter ping! Embassy of Denmark - 3200 Whitehaven Street, NW - between noon and 1 p.m. this Friday, Feb. 24.

I know it's a workday for most folks, but I'm sending out the ping anyway, just in case some of you have flexible schedules.

[tgslTakoma]

Um... they actually support the war on terror, are you confusing them with the Dutch?

Malik Zulu Shazam did

[CobaltBlue]

Wish I could go, but we're flying to NO for the Mardi Gras then.

Please stand up for Denmark! My heart is with you.

[areafiftyone]

LOL Say Hi to Nagin and the Chocolate Factory for me! Seriously - have a great time should be lots of fun!

[DollyCali]

GREAT IDEA! Good luck. Wish I lived closer or was obscenely wealthy & could fly to these things at the drop of a hat.

Looking forward to the pix/after report.

You all might get a chuckle out of this by writer33

[Coop]

Better to lash out at others than actually have to do something like attend a rally or show support in some other way.

[staytrue]

your comments are totally out of line.

They are negative and defeatist. You should move to france where they are especially good at being negative and defeatist.

The Frogman himself has got banners for free download, in multiple languages to adorn your post/website/homepage etc.
I love that guy's website design. And who wouldn't love a pro-American, Jefferson loving Frenchman?

It is always good to know what the other side is thinking.

Barf alert!

Hey joe,


Click here for a great place to get flags!

[YaYa123]

I'm so proud of you guys!!! Many of you know my dear friend Memphis Belle and I are longtime devotees of Christopher Hitchens, never more so than now. This gesture of friendship with Denmark is magnificent! Oh how I wish I could be there with you.

[BufordP]

Someone should invite Malik Zippy Shazam. He was hilarious!

[beachn4fun]

It is funny. Thanks. But we all know that Chris is a funny guy

[VOA]

bump for publicity

[sasafras]

I was confusing them with the Swedes - my mistake sorry for the confusion - I deserve the lashing.

Union Station in DC has a vendor that sells practically every flag made. If you come down, stop in, it is in the main mezzanine (sp), and no I don't have any monetary interest in it. LOL

"I wish I could be there. I'd most definitely be there if I were in the DC metro area."

Same here! Unfortunately, I live alllll the way on the other side of the country - and have a grand total of circa $15. :P That sure won't buy a plane ticket to DC. :^D

Oh well. Hope the rally goes well!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Is there any decent, nearby place to park in DC on a Friday workday? I suspect I would be prohibited from most street parking, at least if this thing lasted more than two hours. And chances are dicey that I'd find even one of those empty, or a space in a nearby garage, for that matter.

[Albion Wilde]

It takes a big person to admit promptly when there's been an error. Thank you, FRiend!!

[tgslTakoma]

Only thing I can think of is side streets, and you may have to walk a few blocks. But be sure and pay attention to "Embassy Only" parking restrictions on those side streets, as the area is lousy with embassies.

[Just A Nobody]

Looks like I'll be leaving early tomorrow! Thanks for the ping!

[3D-JOY]

I got to #28 and was pleased at your honesty...we have all done similar stuff!

I decided to keep reading and there was Albion Wilde saying what I thought, better and faster!

Freeper regards to you both!

[3D-JOY]

All residential area there...just keep driving around...I have always found a place.

[3D-JOY]

Glad to hear you are going ...BUMP!

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks!

The Danish Flag is a simple white cross on a field of red.

You could make one with cloth/posterboard and white mystic tape.

Or just wear red and white.

And try some Aalborg Aquavit. It will turn your nose red and your hair white !

[marc costanzo]

>>Denmark has troops on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has been a coalition member from the very beginning. Denmark has the strictest immigration/deportation laws in Europe. <<

Like the h@ll they do !

Denmark is one of the most liberal coutries on earth,
more so than Canada(who allow a lot of third worlders to enter our country thru theirs) .

Strict deportation laws in Western Europe only exist in
Switzerland !

Denmark, like most other of our so-called allies, have only sent a token force . Even then, they have little combat engagement .
Mostly they perform guard duties .

Kind of like Canada's contribution during the Viet Nam War - next to NADA !

[Theoden]

Denmark has a population of just over 5 million people, and have more than 500 troops on the ground. We have cities that have much bigger populations than that. Proportionally, they are more than carrying their weight in the WOT. They are serving under the command of the British.

Denmark did allow a lot of third-worlders in during the 70's and 80's, but they are not allowing new ones in, and are expelling any that cause trouble or refuse to assimilate.

Whats with the venom against Denmark anyway? Yeah, they are socially liberal, but are still traditional in terms of their support for their monarchy, their customs, language, and their religion. They are also fiscally conservative as well. You should really rethink your position on the Danes.

[MarMema]

With you in spirit!

[HonestConservative]

Wish I could be there.

The Danes behaved in WWII like heroes. The did all they could to protect the Jews, even while occupied by the Nazi's.

The Resistance movement in Denmark was key to the liberation of the entire continent.

American hearts and minds are with you friends!

[GOPJ]

bump

[sauropod]

Had I seen this before now, I would've made the trip :-(.

[areafiftyone]

I just found it yesterday. But I think the Hitchin Story was up in the beginning of the week but I didn't realize he had a request to rally at the Danish Embassy until I read Little Green Footballs either. I hope someone posts an AFTER ACTION REPORT - if they do go.
