The scene outside Lincoln Center. These folks are upset about an opera. So they're sitting in wheelchairs.pic.twitter.com/K0qVwtoseM
The anti-opera protesters seem quite angry. Lots of yelling. Incendiary placards being distributed. Heavy NYPD presence. Bomb-sniffing dogs.
None of these anti-opera protesters have actually seen the opera. "Do you have to read Mein Kampf to know it's anti-Semitic?" one asks me.

Hmm? Rudy Giuliani declares that he owns a CD of the Klinghoffer opera. "The music and the chorus are quite excellent," he concedes.
Rudy G, seething with anger, says: "When people tell you the conditions in Palestine are terrible, it's not because of anything Israel did"
Former AG Michael Mukasey is now speaking. He condemns Klinghoffer opera-goers. "They're paralyzed by the word 'art.' They're afraid."
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) has been introduced as "one of the preeminent experts in our nation" on matters related to opera, Islam, etc.
Anti-opera attorney Ben Brafman now getting the crowd riled up with perhaps a bit of hyperbole: "This might not be Auschwitz, but..."
Melinda Katz, Queens Borough President, proclaims, "I am personally offended" -- and therefore the Klinghoffer opera should be canceled.
