Not that this should come as a surprise. From modern day Sodom and Gomorrah, San Fran-sicko (via Michelle Malkin):
KGO reports that San Francisco is dissing the military again (hat tip – readers Thom and Tim):
New York said “yes,” but we said “no.” Why were the U.S. Marines denied permission to film a recruiting commercial on the streets of San Francisco? 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 tension has been building in the two weeks since the city turned away members of the Silent Drill Platoon, and it boiled over Monday afternoon at a meeting of the San Francisco Film Commission. 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.
Captain Greg Corrales commands the police traffic bureau that works with crews shooting commercials, TV shows and movies in the city. He’s also a Marine veteran and his son is serving his third tour of duty in Iraq. 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.
“Ms. Coyote’s politics blinded her to her duty as the director of the Film Commission and as a responsible citizen,” said Captain Corrales.San Fran officials are claiming that “traffic concerns” are to blame, not their politics.
Bull, say the Marine veterans, and rightly so:Captain Corrales and several other Marine veterans came to the Film Commission Monday afternoon. They see this as just the latest insult along with the city blocking the USS Iowa from docking here, banning the junior ROTC from high schools, and trying to ban the yearly Blue Angels air show. (Not to mention that idiot Sandoval who said the U.S. doesn’t need a military. – Ed.)
“This — a slap in the face of every veteran and every parent of men and women who are doing their duty — is shameful,” said Captain Corrales.
The Marines we spoke with also make the point that the city allows street demonstrations, anti-war protests and other events which snarl traffic, such as Critical Mass. They still don’t understand why the Marines got turned away.
If San Fransicko got invaded, I’d recommend that they ask the UN for help, since they so detest our military to protect their sorry, sick, perverted, warped, sodomizing ungrateful posteriors.
I would hope our Commander-in-Chief would recommend suspension of federal funding for ANYTHING San Fag requests until that city displays proper appreciation of being an American.

Simmer down now…Not everybody in SF is a moonbat, eventhough they do get the most press.
Agreed, it is a shame and an embarrassment the Marines can’t film in the city, just as it was a shame the USS Iowa couldn’t dock, and the JROTC was banned from public high schools. The ijiot school board member who led the anti-JROTC charge was not re-elected and that ban will be revisited, and hopefully overturned. The mayor was appalled by their decision, just as were the 1,600 kids who were members.
The Blue Angels will fly in 2 weeks, and most of the city will come out to welcome them with rooftop parties and barbecues all along the Marina Green; and the moonbats will cower in the basement as their nature dictates.
AS far as your homophobic comments–they give good conservatives a bad name, if that’s what you, in fact, consider yourself.

Typical. Being from the Bay Area, I remember fondly when the military was at least accepted there and not reviled like yesterdays leftovers of leftovers.

Welcome, Jrod.
Agreed, San Fran isn’t all moonbats, but the moonbats that are there get all the press. Therefore, people are going to see the lunacy that oozes from San Franistan and think it’s typical. Considering that kind of moonbattery is commonplace there, it is a reasonable conclusion that SF is a bit “out there”, to say the least. If you aren’t a moonbat, then cool…I’m not talking about you.
As for my “homophobic” comment…uh, what??
And I’m not a conservative, therefore I can’t give conservatives any kind of a name (good or bad). I’m more neo-libertarian than conservative. As such, I believe that if two (or more) adult dudes want to boink each other, the government has no business getting involved (like Texas tried to do in Lawrence v. Texas). Doesn’t sound homophobic to me. But hey, believe what you want, pal.

SF, as a hole, has a reputation that it has richly earned; to debate otherwise is fruitless.

Can we give San Francisco back to Mexico? Or perhaps Spain? Anyone? Anyone? I didn’t think so, what a bunch of hippies.

“San Fran officials are claiming that “traffic concerns” are to blame, not their politics.”
Yeah, those Marine folk take up way more space and are so much more disruptive than say, oh, a gay pride parade.
How lame.
