August 29, 2004The protestsI am at Blogger’s Alley at The Tank. I have just gotten back from the protest. I’ve uploaded my pictures here. I started off from The Tank and walked over to 7th Avenue. As I got to Madison Square Garden, I saw some folks from Right March that I had met from the Personal Democracy Forum in New York. They talked about being here to protest the protestors, however, they were also going to protest some of the Republican events, such as the Pro Life Republican gatherings. I was told that one of the folks from Operation Rescue was helping with some of the protests. I then walked down 7th Avenue and I ran into Zephyr Teachout of ACT and Jerome Armstrong of MyDD. I watched the protest for a while, and then wandered back to The Tank. It was hard to get through the crowds and police barricades. In the end I marched with the protest for a while, and then made it out of the march near Fifth Avenue and 34th Street. As I walked along, I ran into the folks from Billionaires for Bush. They were all having a good time as they joined the protest. Back at The Tank, I have checked my email to find a message from my daughter who has just started college.
Sidestepping the issue of whether bloggers are really journalists, I guess I am now being identified as a writer, so I guess I probably need to stay with it. Posted by Aldon Hynes at August 29, 2004 2:49 PM | TrackBackComments
Is this collection of social outcasts lurking around sections of Manhattan really the way Kerry expects to gain a few votes? LOL We had enough wackos, commies and fruitcakes in this city without importing more. I'm proud of what the bloggers are doing in covering these events. I hope that you'll use my themes on my site for the pocket pc which are pro kerry if you have one of those devices. I can't be in NY right now but i made those to show my support as well as i could. Keep up the protesting. It's important that Bush doesn't lead us anymore. Posted by: Billy Holland at August 29, 2004 10:40 PMThat's right Billy, John Forbes Kerry is the preferred candidate for many notable foreign leaders: Thus far these fine progressives are all cheering loudly for Kerry in 2004, Yassir Arafat, Iran's mullahs, Kim Ill Dung of North Korea, Hugo Chavez, Castro, and even the protector of Saddam, France's Chirac, to name a few international giants. So let's join with these fine political champions of democracy and protest, protest, protest against that guy in the White House since he has prevented any further attacks by Islamic jihadists on U.S. soil!
