Thousands came to protest the mosque at Ground Zero

The Weekly Standard's Daniel Halper gives a report from the Ground Zero site on the demonstration against the Cordoba mosque, attended by thousands.

There was also, quite unfortunately, a gathering in favor of the mosque, and the worst part is that an anti-semitic incident took place there. That particular demonstration lasted less than an hour, and had less attendants.

Update: Rassmussen's latest poll finds that the opposition to the mosque is growing (via Hot Air Headlines).

Update 2: here's some pictures from the protest.
