San Fran Marine ban: Traffic chief is “ashamed”
Following up on the post I did a few days ago about the Marines being spurned from San Francisco, here’s John Gibson’s interview with the city traffic chief, a Marine himself with a son on his third tour of duty in Iraq, who’s “ashamed” of what San Fran has done.
Would that SF Mayor Gavin Newsom express even an ounce of that shame.

San Fran shamed? I don’t think so…
Ain’t that sumthin?!
Anyone living in San Francisco should be ashamed.
Given SF’s recent history with the military, I can’t believe the Navy is still willing to have fleet week there.
Why don’t they let all of those Sailors and Marines spend their few and hard earned dollars in a city that appreciates them for who they are and what they do?
As for SF, it can slide off into the bay for all I care about it.
ROFL!!!
*roaring applause for best funny line of the day!
Walter, I am also wondering why in the world the Navy continues to patronize the “City by the Bay”, with their fleet week-families coming to visit and spending bucks, military personnel out and about spending bucks, etc. I just wonder why the Navy continues to have their Fleet Week in that city.
I refuse to go there ever again and have even spent more money to avoid flying into their airport to change planes.
Again, I do have to wonder what the Navy is thinking. Is there anyone that knows anyone who could address this that is a in the inner ring of the Pentagon?
Perhaps they should have just filmed it without requesting permission.
Then when the City complained they could have just shrugged their shoulders and said:
“We don’t ask - don’t tell. That’s our policy. Thank Bill Clinton.”
On the other hand, I can see why San Francisco would deny their request - seeing as they have to keep the streets open for things like oversize groups of bicyclists who terrorize drivers, gay pride parades, and other such important issues.
( sarcasm off )
One of the many reasons San Francisco is no longer on my families travel plans. Maybe they should succeed from the Union since they hate being Americans so much. Love to see them try to support their moonbat socialist policies without any Federal or State subsides.
I wonder if those smug San Franciscans realize that the freedom they enjoy, the safety and security they feel, is a direct result of the actions of those Marines, and Sailors, Soldiers, and Airmen.
Those who served before and serve now have made the United States the most dangerous place in the world for any nation to attack. It is well known that attacks on American soil would be answered by those very same Marines that San Francisco spits on, and that’s enough of a deterrent for all but the maddest of madmen!
They know they’ll never find themselves under attack, fleeing enemy bombs, or diving for cover, and they dare refuse Marines the right to stand on “their” bridge? They should kiss the ground that any Marine walks upon, and thank him for preserving their right to be a dirty, dope-smoking, commie, hippie JERK!
There is a media blackout here in SF about this, nothing in the Chronical.
Only thing that came up when you placed the word Marines in the search engine…this lil’ beauty…
WWII meant opportunity for many women, oppression for others
Who wants to adopt me….I can’t live with these freaks any longer…..
“Realize”, probably. “Care”, Not so much. “Take for Granted”, ABSOLUTELY!!!!!
Can we please pass a law that gives SF the power to secede from the union and gurantee them that no US armed forces personel will ever step foot within the city limits again. Let the president of Iran take SF over. He sure loves Gays.
Makes me honestly wonder how their minds work. How do they rationalize that type of abhorrent treatment of their own -honorable- military while enjoying the safe, free and happy life provided by the supreme sacrifices of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen?
Incredible.
if I ever find that bottle on the beach I know what one of the 3 wishes is going to be …
IMHO … the only reason fleet week and other military activity continues in the SF area is geographical … there is no other ;arge port capable of handling the needs of the fleet between Long Beach and Seattle … so the strategic needs of the military require they ignore the BS in SF … doesn’t mean they like it … but that in itself shows the dedication of our military … to continue to be there “just in case” regardless of the local moonbat animosity …
arghhhh … ;arge should read large …
MM, thank for the follow up on this story. It would get swept under the rug if Foxews and yourself didn’t point it out.
OIF vet
freebiebabe…
Come to the Carolinas. We love the military here. We buy them dinner at our restaurants, give them discounts at the store, and shake their hands at the mall even though we’ve never met them before.
As for SF, I haven’t been there since 1970 on the way home from Vietnam and I don’t intend to go back any time soon. The pols in that city are a bunch of losers who don’t deserve the freedoms that our military bought with their blood.
I’m sure there are some decent folks living in the area and I feel sorry for them. I don’t know how they put up with all the BS.
The SFPD Captain is a great guy and he and his son are true Americn heroes.
City Traffic dude with son in Iraq is about to get fired. Some people will be gunning for him… because they support the troops.
Hope he is in a union

You’re welcome here feebiebabe, but it’s no better. For I live near the San Fran of the northeast, Boston. And to quote the great Obi Wan, “You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”

That was my first thought too.
I will NEVER spend a penny in that F#&*#ng place. I truly hope there is a terrorist attack there. I would actually sleep well that night. Thats how much I hate the people there. I’d settle for a 9.0 earthquake there.
SEMPER FI
The solution to the problem is simple: challenge Stephanie Coyote’s authority to make an executive decision on a matter that is vital to our national security-recruiting.
As Film Commissioner, this decision does not fall within her administrative purview- simply because it is a government matter related to national defense.
But does the US government have the political will to nail these loons? Somewhere in the Pentagon there is a Clintonista cabal that is letting this happen.
Time to clean house and send them packing. We are at war. Let them sue the government. We have a war to fight.
And while they are at it, nail Peter Coyote and Stephanie Coyote for income tax “irregularities”.
Lotsa ways to get your way in government if you have the juevos rancheros to go for it.
Yoo-hoo! Anybody home?!?!?!?!?! Is this thing on?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
America sleeps.
Another way around the Gay Mafia running the SFO Board of Stupefiers is to use conservative media operatives to write a few stories on Diane Feinstein’s trail of pork on defense contracts and earmarks. And raise the question as to why “her City” is anti-military when she is pro-military when it comes to hubby bubby’s business affairs.
10 to 1 she’d be on the horn to her Boy Mayor Gavin Newsome to let the film get made.
Heat. Applied properly and the job gets done. Washington appears to be a little light on want to on this one.
Is it just me or does anybody else feel just a little put off by the lead “whine” over Coyote’s decision?
That was not an empowered response. Was that the only guy involved on the oppposing side? Why does that get the lead in all of this?
W-H-U-S-S. And why emit such a weak response AND trot your son out. Was that supposed to make Stephanie change her pea-wit mind over this.
Why are we reacting to this situation instead of crafting a power-based response that leaves the SFO Film Commissioner standing as if she has more clout than the OPOTUS?
React. React. React. Lose to these losers everytime.
A City Council is no match for the POTUS or the Pentagon or the Department of State, Treasury or Justice.
Can we please have some leadership, Mr. Bush?
You are the Commander in Chief. Pull the plug on the City’s roads and bridges. Grind the City machine to a halt. Newsome would cave in one hour.
Please. Think. Then do something to rectify the situation and put the Board of Stupefiers out of business for interfering in matters of National Security.
There may well come the day when the people of SF will be thanking God above for the marines in their streets.
Cmon earthquake.
feebiebabe…
If I adopted you it wouldn’t get better… I live in Santa Barbara and the local newpaper did a man or woman on the street poll.
The question was: If the Presidential election were held today, who would you vote for?
6 persons answered:
3 went for Obama
1 went for Kucinich
1 said it was too early to have developed an informed choice
1 said they were all crooks and liars so none deserved a vote.
Personal experience shows it goes downhill from there
an earthquake would kill a lot of kids.
I don’t even consider S.F to be a part of America anymore….only fools live there.
I won’t go there, spend a penny for anything from there…and will constantly tell folks how bad of a place it really is…..
Let them become there own nation…..then we can invade them and take over……
I live about 50 miles from there and I won’t go there except to drive through when I can’t avoid it. I will never spend any money there! We need to put a big fence around the place and make it a zoo.
“an earthquake would kill a lot of kids.”
Future nut cases for sure. I can allow for collateral damage.
Maybe we ought to set up a fund to rescue people like “feebiebabe”. Shows there are a few sane people there. When the next earthquake comes, will SF call for the Army Corps. of Engineers? How quick they will forget their hatred of the Military….err…just until the job is done, that is. Typical liberal behavior.
Yesterday I e-mailed Mayor Newsome about the Marines … this a.m. there were 7 e-mails from a San Fran newsletter flooding the mail-box before one could be unsubscribed.
Has anyone seen this today? (May not be suitable for work.) Just when you think they cannot sink any lower, they find a new way to disgust us all.
Won’t that block traffic? How did they get a permit for that if it will block traffic?
They are a disgusting bunch of freaks.
Gives a new meaning ti Miller Lite, the sponsor.
Geologically speaking, soddom/gomorrah of California will not fall into the Pacific when the Great Quake strikes us. The fault is not the separating type; but rather, a horizontal sliding with s/g on one side of the fault and LA on the other side. The fault will cause both cities to crush each other.
As explained here.
The catch is the collision is several million years away…
Since stefani is so worried about traffic, I wonder how many hours or days of handwringing this five minute chase scene caused for the film commision?
I sent an email to each member of the SF government. I received ONE REPLY consisting of 4 words:
“Who is Ms Coyote?”
