What if You Held a Gitmo Protest & Nobody Came?
Sadly, only the 7 Amnesty International activists but not one supporter showed up to protest George W. Bush in Budapest, Hungary, yesterday.
But that didn't stop the AP from preaching to the masses.

Publius has this priceless report from Hungarian blogger Pesticide:
A big shout out to reader J. for sending us the subscription only MTI story about yesterday’s demonstration organized by Amnesty International Hungary to protest alleged abuses of suspects in the "war on terror." (Wait - we forgot - is it editorializing to put "war on terror" in quotes, and if you don’t are you supposed to put it in capitals?) According to the report, seven Amnesty activists and several reporters were on hand for the demo, but "not one supporter showed up to participate." Maybe they were all in Guantanamo!It's lonely out there for the hooded professional Gitmo protesters from Amnesty International.

Move along, honey.
While we're on the subject of prisoners... We're still waiting for Amnesty International to organize a protest against the gruesome slaughter and torture of American Military prisoners.

The AP? You mean "Associated Phables", right? Is anyone still reading them? They are our enemies propaganda machine, pure and simple. They need to be sacked and burned to the ground. They're on my list for when the next revolution takes place.
Note also how the AP photos of these turds are all closeups in an effort to minimize/mask the pathetic underattendance.
I think a clue can be found in the demeanor of the policeman in the picture. He seems to be inexperienced in moonbat removal. Perhaps they generally have more sense over there?
The leberal press does not believe the peaceloving Jihadists would harm anyone.
i suggest we no longer need to defend their places of business and "redeploy" our assetts to cover other sites. I recommend we leak this to the AP& NYT along with extra materials such as directions to the "Gray Ladies HQ" including estimates of how much ammonium nitrate some non-existent terrorist might need. perhaps other sidebars to the leak would include instructions how they might theoretically use these items if such peace lover wer of such a mind.
Since these people don't really exist according to the Bible of Pinch, what has he to fear? ditto fro the AP.
Also, a notorius example of making "heroes" look more heroic, shoot "up" at them.
