Neocons rejoice! Amnesty Int'l founder dies

[Harrybutt]

One less icon to hate or make fun of....his harm is done and now he is gone....

Everyone is in favor of human rights, we just don't all define it the same way. For example, I consider it an inalienable human right to be able to protect my property by blowing away an intruder with a bazooka. Others consider it a human right for the government to take my money from me at gunpoint and give it to bums.

That article didn't list a single accomplishment by the group. In 44 years, what did they achieve?......Jake

[Harrybutt]

Not much I guess...certainly haven't invaded anybody....

Joe,

ps. Dam Jake you aged today!!!!

[Harrybutt]

At least Jake asked or inquired as to what they had achieved. I don't believe Amnesty wrote that article...so blame the writer, not the organization.

I realize it is something that would give you "conservatives" great indigestion...but the link I provided Jake gives a taste of those accomplishments.

Closed minded really feel THAT good?

BTW, just came across this one for the folks anxious for some evidence of the worth of the organization:

Blame the damn pipeweed I've been smoking. It's almost enough to turn a sane man into a liberal!

Thanks for the link, Harry. I knew you had it in you. I have no problem with a do-gooder organization lobbying to get political prisoners freed. After all, it's every American's right to meddle in the workings of other governments and their justice systems. Wouldn't you agree?......Jake

[Harrybutt]

I thought it was an organization founded across the pond

[Chicago Jake]

Sure, them too.....Jake
