“Sammenhold” is Danish for solidarity. Reader Andrew G. e-mails about the pro-Denmark Sammenhold rally in the Bay Area held today:

We started with about twenty people outside the Danish Embassy. There were a number of signs and Danish flags and a few American flags. Someone brought some Danish cookies and cheese and crackers to share with everyone. Bear in mind that today is perhaps the coldest day of the year in the Bay Area — 47 degrees. The local NBC affiliate sent a cameraman and a reporter, who briefly interviewed rally organizer Cinnamon Stillwell. They left after five minutes — apparently we weren’t large or loud enough. The local news coverage — if there is any — won’t show that the rally eventually swelled to over fifty people. Apparently the only way for the mainstream media would consider it newsworthy would be if we were to riot, burn some flags, and perhaps destroy a cable car or two.

Reader Denny D.: sends a few photos:

The Only Republican in San Francisco blogs:

I just got back and it went well. We had 70-80 people, a number of Danish flags, some Havarti. I met organizer and “9/11 neocon” Cinnamon Stillwell as well as local blogger The Gentle Cricket.

Where next?

Judith Kesher notes there will be a pro-Denmark rally tomorrow in Toronto.
