Yeah, if they feel as "targeted" by "the press" as I do, well... What goes around, comes around.

Kind of like that horrid witch Francis Fox Piven, after actively advocating violence, for decades, to achieve her idea of "social justice," accusing the other side of threatening violence against her. And not so as a single glimmer of awareness of the irony in her charge.

Now the Mu Barak Mob has told the Barak Mob to evacuate immediately. Maybe Barak should offer himself as a human shield to protect the Barak Mob From the Mu Baraks.

Can't imagine WHY the pro-Mubarak demonstrators would target the same press that are acting as shills for the Muslim Brotherhood.

Need I close my tag?
