Pro-Troops Rally Military Recruiter Station Times Square
'We Are Not Berkeley!'
A large group of patriots organized by The Gathering of Eagles New York Chapter came out in the pouring rain today in Times Square to support our troops in response to the despicable and cowardly bombing of the Military Recruiter station this week. We had a big tent set up and flags were flying everywhere. It was truly moving to see folks come out to stand by our brave fighting men and women.
The front glass and door frame was blown out from the explosion so metal plates were installed to protect the station. Personally, I can't wait until they catch the guy who did this.
Passersby of all kinds stopped by to thank us. Traffic going by honked their horns and gave the thumbs-up! Dozens of NYPD squad cars hit their lights and sirens and New York Fire Department trucks barreling through Times Square did the same.

Thank You.
Nice job. I was up in NYC yesterday for a meeting not far from Times Square. I'd wanted to swing by over there to take a look, but by the time my meeting got done, it was raining too damned hard, so the first car I could get I had take me back to LaGuardia. LaGuardia Marriott, to be precise, since my flight was canceled, and I ended up not flying home until this morning.
Nice to see such a turnout on such a crappy day!
Hey Nosub,
Thanks!!
aboo
Boy, can you guys come to Berkeley?
Thanks for your great work here, I appreciate you trekking out in the cold to support our trooops and our efforts.
Good work, Kiddo!
Saying "I love America!" is much like saying "I love Baha'u'llah!"
A chance to feel ember assed, but all for a good Cause!
Keep it up!
Good job. The hippie freaks poster cracked me up.
Miss Trixie here - Great job, toots! *mwah* I'm proud of you!
These freaks are stuck in the 60's. The rest of the nation isn't. God bless our troops
Great job! My thanks to you and the other supporters of our brave servicemen and women.
*pat on the back*

Not these troops - Not this war - Not this time.
Amen to that. Great job covering this. Thanks!

God bless the American Troops (Capital "T").
Not these troops - Not this war - Not this time.
Right on, mama.
And I will add to this - Not these troops - Not this war - Not this time.
Never again !
Thanks for the great job.
Thanks for showing what real Americans are like. The people that rallied are actually "THE BOMB". Not the destructive devise used by a coward who's to afraid to fight or debate face to face. What a pussy! But I'm sure he'll be popular in prison. And hopefully while incarcerated; he'll find the love and attention he didn't get from daddy, but so desperately craves -Mark
Early last year I stood with my Soldier next to this recruiting station. The significance of this recruiting station brought a chill up your spine - not much unlike standing at another location near this - 9/11 Ground Zero, or Arlington Cemetery.
It brought a chill to the spine to hear of what some moonbat radical decided to make his political statement to this "piece of American History".
It brings a tear to the eye to see the banner now on its face "ARE YOU ARMY STRONG?!" And the answer to those that enter the doors to this building to that question - YES WE ARE!
And to those that stood by in honor in rally to support those that enter these doors - a sincere THANK YOU....FOR ALL YOU DO!
Thanks to for the great post and supporting the Bravest Men and Women on this planet! I cannot be with you side by side due to distance...but am with you in heart and spirit.
If there were so many of you, then why no longshots to prove it?
Oh right, you don't want to show the ones in white sheets trying to burn a cross in the rain.
Fascist nutjobs.
Big thanks to all involved.
The military defend us from the foreign terrorists. We must defend them from domestic terrorists.
Thanks for going out there, and bringing back the pictures. You, and everyone that went out there in the muck are great!
Kudos to all.
Bulletproof glass, not "concealing metal windows", need to go in this week.
People need to see the honorable.
And brave.
Thanks for you, and all the others going out there in the muck today. It looked ugly, and I know the recruiters appreciated you guys' efforts. I do too.
Wow, Boston Charlie, or as the guy with the 'Nam jacket would have called you back in the day, just 'Charlie',
HATE MUCH?
Great stuff, thanks much!

Great job. Salute!
So glad you did this. I was going to come down, but this storm in Toronto has us jammed in.

Outstanding, ladies and gents! You did important work out there in the rain.
Defy the establishment - support the troops and their mission!
Hey Boston Charlie - you support people who blow stuff up in the dark of night to further their violent agenda, and then call someone else a fascist?
You seriously need to educate yourself, and spend some quality time pondering the cause you've chosen to associate yourself with. You can carry on with your decadent, simple life and let a small number of dedicated volunteers do the difficult work. In the meanwhile, no one is asking anything of you other than to show some respect.
Thanks for being there. Boston Charlie, I've got something long for you to look at right here.
Hey...'Boston Charlie'.
You want to see a fascist nutjob?
Go look in the mirror.
You pathetic, racist, Nazi scumbag.
Thanks Boston Charlie. You just reminded me of how racist people such as yourself protested the efforts to preserve freedom in my former country.
Thanks to racists like you, who didn't think that us "yellow" people didn't deserve freedom from murdering communists, we get to see more innocent deaths.
I commend the American soldiers all of you white, black, hispanic, etc. who fought with my family and tried to win my country's freedom.
Unfortunately, it was the racist traitors like Boston Charlie who gave hope to the enemy to continue killing our people as well as yours resulting in the loss of freedom for people of different color as well as the "re-education" camps in Vietnam.
Boston Charlie, I see your racist ways are still alive now just as they were then.
Thanks for the great pics guys!
G'day all; I'm an Aussie checking in to say 'well done' to all involved in the rally, and 'thanks' for the blog. I'm an ex-serviceman (wish I was still in, but the legs & back say otherwise) who had the privilege of serving beside the US military. Fine allies, fine people.
I now work in law enforcement, and would gladly work 'pro bono' to help catch the (insert expletive here) responsible.
Boston Charlie, I was there... but i'm sure that wouldn't make a difference to you.
I look forward to you coming down, i'll meet you myself; Wear the pink panties instead of the yellow ones.
I think grandma's calling you up from the basement for your sandwich.
AWESOME JOB.
THE HIPPY FREAKS WILL NOT WIN.
And as the sign said, "We're fighting the insurgency at Home"
God Bless AMerica!
USA!USA!USA!
While Boston Charlie posts stupid comments from his climate controlled environment, I was there, too. And it ROCKED. Boston Charlie wouldn't know what it's like to defend anything and be a proud American-in the rain. Boston Charlie probably hasn't evern confronted anything in his life.
Go burn your flag, BC. The rest of us will stand up against atrocities so you can keep your pathetic rights.
I'm the guy with the Navy Jack flag, with the words "Don't Tread on Me".. The sign "We're fghting the insurgency at home", is mine too. Hey, Boston Charlie, when you come to NY and announce yourself, you too will be mine, You Marxist jaggoff!
God Bless America!
UI, I so wish I could have been there yesterday. Next one, for sure!
Though people like Boston Charlie may not believe in it, the USA is still the greatest country on the planet. What I don't understand, though, is that people like BC who claim to love freedom and tolerance are so hateful to those who disagree with him. I mean, isn't that just a LITTLE bit hypocritical?
God Bless the Troops and other Patriots, God Bless the Flag, and God Bless the USA!
I was one of the people there yesterday. Sorry, I dont have an account here. However, thank you all for your comments. It was a labor of love. I was an active Duty Marine in the late 70's and even that late after Vietnam, I was spat upon, had beer bottles thrown at me from passing cars, the works. I have vowed to not let that be done to these men in uniform now.
Fantastic pictures, UI.
I love the sign about the 'hygenically challenged hippies' - I know the person who put that one together.
This was fantastic!
We are expecting a slightly less enthusiastic welcome in Berkeley on the 22nd. We'll see.
Good job, Infidel!
Here's one for YOU: check out the Podcasts at www.ICallBS.net
Some are hilarious (1-900-Rea-LITY) and some are shocking (Aloha Snackbar! Your Resort to Violence!)
I am sorry I couldn't make it. I did
bug the hell out of the garbage at Union clods Square. The idiots are there for the last five years.
I can not find my favorite cranks the Don Rickels Black Hebrews in Star Trek suits. I am still looking for those guys who should be in Vegas
You missed a commie free Tibetian protest at Union Square on Friday.
Hi,
Thank you for your support of our military recruiters. My husband and I were traveling in the northwest and saw some protestors. We wanted to do something to counter the protestors, so we made ourselves "I Support Our Military Recruiters" t-shirts and started wearing them everywhere. Many people liked them and wanted their own, and the recruiters appreciated them, so, the next thing you know, we have a little company whose sole business is to support our military recruiters. I would like to invite you to look at our site, RecruiterGear.com, and check out our products. It would be great if we could show our support all across the country and make sure all military recruiters know how many people in America support not just the troops, but also the recruiters.
Thank you again for supporting our recruiters.

Great job UI! You're amazing. Thank you for all you do.
I predict they will catch this vile terrorist monkey someday. Although, I wonder how hard the NYPD and the FBI are actually working on this. I imagine that for bombing a military facility he may qualify for a long residence in a military prison.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you are well, good luck with your book.

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
KILL terrorist monkeys
even if they prefer death
over life in prison

how generous of you to support our troops and their great effort to protect this country.
I love these rally things they really show you how much of a great country we are, with great spirit and love. I was at the The Bellevue rally it honestly looked like it was the fourth of july!
God bless America,
Nancy
