If there's one place in the country where you would least expect a rally for freedom of speech and freedom of expression, it's the San Francisco area, where dissent from far left, anti-American orthodoxy goes to be crushed. Which makes this pro-Danish free speech rally held there over the weekend all the more heartening. Sure, the local media ignored it, as supporting a US ally under fire from US enemies is not a message to be tolerated in that part of the world, but thanks to the blogosphere you can check out the pictures that the Chronicle would rather you not see.
