7,000 Koreans Protest Leftist Anti-American Hate Groups

7,000 people from Korean conservative groups showed up in force at City Hall to voice their opinions against the leftist hate groups in Korea that are slowly eroding the US-ROK alliance:

Around 7,000 members of Korean conservative groups gathered yesterday in front of Seoul’s City Hall to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the United Nations. But the tone of the rally was more domestic than international. The Retired Colonels Association and Kumnan Methodist Church, among others, complained that anti-American, pro-North Korean activists are threatening South Korea’s freedom.“Leftists are disturbing the international alliance of freedom and threatening the security of the Korean peninsula by insisting on the withdrawal of U.S. troops in Korea,” one civic group said in a statement. The organizers awarded plaques of appreciation to the embassies of the 21 countries that sent troops to fight with South Korean forces in the 1950-53 war or provided other forms of assistance.

Notice these 7,000 people easily out numbered the 4,000 leftists that showed at Inchon last month to try and tear down the General MacArthur statue. This is a good sign because it shows that the conservatives can rally more people to their cause than the leftists can.

However, they are not getting the amount of headlines that the leftists got for both the Inchon and Camp Humphrey’s protest even though they did draw more people. I guess they should of brought bamboo poles and beat the riot police and then set City Hall on fire. Maybe they would have got more headlines that way.
