Empire State Glowing Green

Activists thrilled as Ahmadinejad is in NYC

By Mark Memmott, NPR -- Green is the color adopted by Iranian activists who oppose President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and come Thursday night in New York City they'll bask in the glow of one very big symbol. The Empire State Building will be bathed in green lights. And the display will come at the same time as Iranian activists stage protests around the city over Ahmad....inejad's appearance at this week's opening of the U.N. General Assembly. As The Wall Street Journal explains, the owners of the building are not endorsing the activists' movement. In fact, a request from some activists to have the green lights turned on this week was turned down by Empire State Building Co. But -- and here's where what the activists believe is a good omen comes into the story -- the owners did approve a request to turn on the green lights this Thursday in honor of the 70th anniversary of film The Wizard of Oz. Mary Goldwater of an effort called Project Greenlight tells the Journal that the Oz anniversary certainly "works to our advantage." (Stan Honda/AFP/Getty Images)

I will be at the Empire state building, I know the owner, as a friend I will give the owner a 1978 Iranian flag.

What a crock! Which "owner" of the ESB are you "friends" with?

Dont' fool yourself

Mr. AN, or ahmaGHinejad, could not care less about any green lights anywhere. As decent human beings, most of us believe others to have the same values as us. However, when it comes to savage aniumals like Mr. AN and his colleagues, we need to re-think.

He doesn't care what people and governments around the world think about his acts. As long as he is in power, sucking the wealth of the country, he doesn't count the green light here or green shirt there his wool.  :-)

Only an egomaniacal and pathetic loser like Mousavi would try to coopt a color.

They have even hijacked the Wizard of Oz?!

by American Dream on Wed Sep 23, 2009 11:20 AM PDT

The green movement is just one big joke.  Mousavi and all this stuff is just giving another lifeline to the theocracy.  I will be at the Empire state building, I know the owner, as a friend I will give the owner a 1978 Iranian flag.

These so called reformist protesters hijack everything.  Let them see the light of the 1978 Iranian flag and maybe they will be set free from their stupidity.
