Protesters mass in Manila, calling for president to resign

[dArKeR]

Thousands of protesters, some shouting "Gloria Arroyo, the fake president!," massed yesterday to press the Philippine leader to resign over vote-rigging claims that have shaken her hold on power.

Troops and police went on full alert, saying they feared communist rebels or Islamic militants could mount terror attacks under cover of the rally in Manila's Makati financial district.

Opponents had hoped for a "people power" protest of up to 50,000 to keep up pressure on Arroyo, who is clinging on tenaciously despite the resignation of 10 top officials last Friday over claims she stole last year's election.

1. Why don't Americans do that?

I mean, come on! There's at least 59,028,109 of us that want * out of office (and into a jail cell). People need to grow stones as big as the Philipinos' and rise up in protest of the facist pig.

Hey, maybe Arroyo and * can share a cell in Antarctica or someplace equally unpleasant.

2. Because Dems now-a-days are a bunch of pussys!

And there hasn't be one anti-war song allowed to be played on the radio. Clear Channel owns some 90% of American radio stations. Just listen to a performer at the Oregon Country Fair perform a song about this. He narrated while playing a guitar with his band playing the dozens after dozens of number one hits during Vietnam. Literally the radio played thousands of differnet anti-war song then. Not only isn't there one hit today there isn't one song being played.

I wrote the guys name down and misplaced it.

He also said today we've already had more protesters on the streets than the entire Vietnam War combined.

What's your take on it? Pussys or Bush Adm. has ordered local enforcement to attack protesters? Via IRS, ticketing, frame-ups, bank forclosures, Gov. agents hired into liberal companies who then sabatoge the company... Michael Rupert said this just happend to his company From The Wilderness.

If protesters did half this in world's freest country, the chain of command would order live round machine guns to be fired at the crows. The survivors would be imprisoned for 20 years on Patriot Act terrorism charges. Read the truth!

4. This was the G8 protest in England. If a protester ever got this

close to American Storm Troopers the protester would be beaten, clubbed, maced, arrested and duster would be sent to the FBI for testing of carrying Ebola.

An anti-capitalist protester taunts the police during a Friday G8 protest in Glasgow.

I wonder how the journalist knows this girl is an "anti-capitalist"? Maybe she doesn't agree with enslaving billions of poor people around the world? I guess I'm one too then!
