SF Chronicle: Right Wing Bloggers go Ballistic?
Update: Zombie has added photo's and commentary...now you can see all.
Headlines in the San Fransico Chronicle read:
A city that would refuse Marines to make a commercial I guess we can't expect anymore from their newspaper than to appear to support the code pink idiots while accusing right wing blogs of "going ballistic" in their catchy headline.
"Berkeley, Facing Off Over Marines. 3 war opponents chain selves to door of recruiting staion and right wing blogosphere goes ballistic"
Three Code Pink members handcuffed themselves to the door of the Marine recruiting office and stopped some possibly wanting to sign up from entering. Eventually the handcuffs were cut (7 1/2 hrs later) and one was arrested on a unrelated traffic warrant. Weren't they suppose to be across the street?
By blogging over the stupidity of Berkeley's City Councils decision to try to make the Marine recruiting office leave, "you are not welcome", and the Code Pink idjits being allowed "freedoms" that Marine recruiters are denied, "balistic" was aimed at the wrong party.
"Council woman Dona Spring commented.."I guess they have never heard of "free speech" in regards to Sen DeMint's proposed legislation denying monies to Berkeley and the stories blogged in disgust of this lunacy. Dona Spring, you my dear do not understand the First Amendment...it includes "all" of us not just you idjits. Flashback..the lunacy of the Viet Nam era...I just despise someone disrespecting our military. They give all and to do this is un-American.
