Thousands rally in Pakistan against US

From: AAP September 17, 2012 10:08AM

THOUSANDS of people have rallied across Pakistan to denounce an anti-Islam film with protesters burning US flags and effigies of President Barack Obama, and urging Islamabad to sever ties with Washington.

At least eight people were injured when protesters clashed on Sunday with police outside the US consulate in Pakistan's port city of Karachi, officials said.

Police fired bullets in the air and used tear gas and water cannon to disperse some 1,000 people at the rally organised by a Shiite religious organisation, according to an AFP photographer.

At one stage protesters broke through security cordons and got close to the heavily guarded US consulate, pelting the building with stones.

They chanted "Down with America", "We will sacrifice our lives to safeguard the honour of the Prophet" and "Hang the film maker".

Great! Does this mean we can stop the money spigot? Nobody wants to go to work knowing part of their paycheck is going to pay for a bunch of azzholes over there.

But, but, but.........I thought we were calling them “Pock-eee-ston”, now, and that was going to make everything OK. At least that’s what Oblama and the media have been doing. ‘Cause it sounds sooooooo “worldly~n~stuff”.

Their droning does drone on. That deserves a couple of our drones.

The battle of the drones. Guess who loses?

Oh, I forgot, the “Droner in Chief” won’t authorize such air strikes.

Never mind!

Dear Followers of Allah, the Great, the Benevolent, the Munificent, Blah Blah Blah...

You guys who are acting like howler monkeys on crack are really making me your prophet look like an ass

Its bad enough being raped by demons with pitchforks every day and night without hearing them laughing behind my back

Kindly cease and desist - and Oh yes Behead yourselves

Have a nice day - MUHAMMAD

Our foreign politics for the past 20 years have been an utter disaster, costing the U.S. many trillions...It’s just got worse with the current corrupt president.
