Protests Against the Islamic Regime in Iran, Times Square, New York City
There were two separate demonstrations taking place.
The larger protest organized by United For Iran would not allow another group who were carrying the Persian flag to join them, so they had to set up their demonstration across the street. Someone referred to them as 'Monarchists.'
Bashing John McCain? While Obama the Undocumented dithered, McCain was the one who stood up for the Iranians who were bravely protesting the stolen elections in June.
Attica? Abu Gharaib? Although it was cut out of my photograph, in the right corner of this protest sign there was a picture of Leonard Peltier. I was sensing a definite Leftist theme here...
They were rejected by both groups. By the same token, the Communists were having none of the appeasement crowd either!
As well as all of the others brutally savaged or held captive by the Mullah's regime.
I cannot confirm this, but I heard that United for Iran protest was likely financed by the Iranian government.
They proudly waved the Persian flag and the American flag together and called for an end to the Islamic regime. They were an older generation, many of which were Persians who remember Iran before the 1979 revolution. They were very serious and passionate. Some had never protested in their lives before. They came to join the main demonstration, but were not allowed to participate.
After a while, all parties marched over to the United Nations for the second part of the demonstration. I will update later with reports from fellow bloggers.
