Giving the stomach a day off to rest. That’s a hunger strike worthy of the great one himself, Jesse “I raised a criminal to go along with my illegitimate child” Jackson.

It could be argued they have approached the threshold of brain death already.

Don’t worry Al, Juan McAmnesty and his band of traitors will confirm her so Obama can start his attacks again.

“That’s not a hunger stike It’s a diet!”

Everyday is Yom Kippur.

Considering those people are probably over the 400 pound mark, if worse comes to worse they could always eat themselves

Sands was a murdering SOB but at least he believed in his cause enough to die for it.

The fast participants won’t go without food for more than a day. After one group of fasters doesn’t eat, a new group of people will replace the fasters from the previous day, the National Action Network said.

This is typical Sharpton. Does anyone recall back in the 90s when Al Sharpton went on a hunger strike to protest a Naval bombing range on an island off Puerto Rico? It lasted about a week and he actually didn't lose any weight. Later, the news leaked out he was eating chicken soup for the week.

Sorry, not eating in shifts isn't a hunger strike. Gandhi, that was a hunger strike, Bobby Sands was a hunger strike. This is just the equivalent of the Slim-Fast diet.

I remember when Bobby Sands went on his fast; at least he had the gonads to actually starve himself to death.

We had a "Bobby Sands Death Pool" at work. I didn't win though. But hey, those were the days, ya know?

It’s not a hunger strike... it’s a hunger relay. The empty plate is handed off to the next in line for a day, like the baton in a relay race. How moving! /S

One day? It’s not even much of a diet.

That picture made me think what I almost always say to the waitress when she brings me my food: “That looks good enough to eat!” Especially the steak.

So these `hunger strikers’ are basically skipping a meal over Eric Holder-in-a-skirt? A lot of Obamanites could stand to miss a few meals.

The slavish devotion to liberals by liberals is scary.
