Democrats for McCain and McCain Manhattan joined forces to rally for McCain in Times Square Thursday evening.
The troops started gathering at about 5:30, just north of the military recruiting station. By 6:00 we had a good group together, and soon after that the opposition started from the other side of Seventh Avenue.
We outshouted them.
And we outlasted them.
We had tourists joining us from Switzerland, France, and Israel.
Video on Vigilant Squirrel, with more pix promised for today.
The police were super, and kept the opposition from infiltrating our rally.
It was a very satisfying rally, with real enthusiam. Many thanks to the organizers. I am not sure they want their names mentioned so am not saying.
Those who were there, please add your comments. Also lead us to other picture sites if you know of them. There were many people taking pictures.
Excellent!
He’s going to be on SNL tomorrow, so says MSNBC. That’s just down the street from Times Square (I think).
Thank you all so very much, that took great courage.
Thank you for the nice report FireBrand.
It’s nice to know that folks like you are representing me in New York. Way... to... go!!!!
Cool. I love the McCain Manhattan shirts. Looked pretty nippy out.
enjoyed the pics!
Those are nice. Makes me want to visit NYC again.
You really were in the belly of the beast.
Wonderful! Loved the pictures (haven’t seen the video yet). It always strikes me how happy Conservatives are. If you saw a group of people rallying for Obama they would have a permanent scowl on their faces.
Congratulations — Mission Accomplished! :)
Many thanks to you for the hard work and dedication.
My hat is off to you and your rally mates! Great job.
I wish I had known. I work a couple of blocks away and would have loved to be there.
Did you see the other items @ Vigilant Squirrel?
I should have posted it on FR. Wish you had been there.
great stuff. Will be there next week .. after the elections though.
“Vote McCain, not Hussein”
LOL. It was a great rally! The one last week out in front of the Slimes was fun too.
VERY disappointed that I did not know about the rally. I would have been there.
If there is another, please post info. I am in Manhattan and love putting real democracy in the faces of the fascistic New York demonrats.
