A Connecticut rush-hour rally in the center of Hamden managed a very impressive crowd today. Organized by MoveOn.org, the gathering was one of many across the country in response to Bush’s ridiculous call last night for more of the same in Iraq. According to CBS, support for an escalation is in the teens, and it shows.
Usually most people pass on honk-if-you-support signs, but the beeping in downtown Hamden made the experience more like Manhattan than a small town in Connecticut. I slapped together a video of the event, so please do check it out for yourself.
Here’s the video I took. Bear in mind, it was after dark.

It’s time for congress to flex and cut the funding. It isn’t ‘nice’ to pull the cash, but if that’s the price, I really don’t mind.
It isn’t nice to carry banners
Or to sit in on the floor
Or to shout our cry of Freedom
At the hotel and the store
It isn’t nice, it isn’t nice
You told us once, you told us twice
But if that is Freedom’s price
We don’t mind.
