San Francisco To Marines: Drop Dead
By Erick Posted in Culture — Comments (24) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
Some days I think there are more enemies of this country inside the country than outside of it. Consider this:
San Francisco is, once again, the center of a controversy over how city leaders treat the U.S. military. This time, it involves an elite group of Marines who wanted to film a recruitment commercial in San Francisco on the anniversary of 9/11. . . .
The U.S. Marine Silent Drill Platoon performed Monday morning in New York's Times Square. They filmed part of a recruitment commercial through the start of the morning rush hour -- something they could not do in San Francisco on the anniversary of 9/11.
"It's insulting, it's demeaning. This woman is going to insult these young heroes by just arbitrarily saying, 'no, you're not going to film any Marines on California Street," said Captain Greg Corrales of the SFPD Traffic Bureau. . . .
He says Film Commission Executive Director Stefanie Coyote would only allow the Marine's production crew to film on California Street if there were no Marines in the picture. They wound up filming the empty street and will have to superimpose the Marines later.
The Film Commission's E.D. tried to say her denial was become of rush hour traffic, despite the Marines being able to show she has granted other approvals for the same thing during rush hour traffic.

that liberal womyn must have to show that they're above things like being physically attractive.

Do a Google Images search on her. That one is very flattering, but in others I've seen, she looks overwhelmingly average.

We should excpect no better from the Imperial Speaker's home town, which blocks the USS Iowa from docking and bans junior ROTC from high schools.

What's that I see?
Oh, never mind.

You're totally right to criticize this bureaucratic abuse of power. Apologize? She should probably be canned.
Calling her an enemy of America is pretty crazy sounding though, even as hyperbole. Enemies, you kill.
In San Francisco? Canned? Heck, she'll get a medal.

What slimeballs.
tolerance my eye. These schmucks are using *our* tolerance to work to impose tyranny on us.
It's about time the Administration woke up and cancelled the next "fleet week" in San Francisco. If the city by bay doesn't want to be associated with the military, the military should stop spending $$ in the city.

then I say we move it to San Francisco. Not only would they all appreciate each other's views about the U.S. military, but wouldn't it be a screaming hoot to see what kind of crowd would turn out to say howdy at Ahmadinnerjacket's next meet and greet?

This is just downright suicidal. The woman should be escorted to the nearest booby hatch and given a nice fashionable straight jacket.
