And finally discount for dissent but where to do it? Mayor Michael Bloomberg held a press conference yesterday to welcome protesters to the city by offering self-identified peaceful protesters discounts in city restaurants and on Broadway during the Republican National Convention. Bloomberg said ” The right to protest is a basic American right … and New York City is a place where you can come and get your message out.” But across the street, four members of Code Pink were arrested for unfurling a banner calling for the city to allow an anti-war rally in Central Park. The banner read: “You say welcome, we say where? Central Park.”
