You may have heard by now of the moonbat protest over the Marine Corps recruiting office in Berkeley. Those "don't question their patriotism" "Americans" chained themselves to the doors and blocked access to the recruitment center. Here's how the San Francisco Chronicle covered it objectively:
As the right-wing blogosphere railed and a U.S. senator vowed financial retaliation against the Berkeley City Council for its effort to boot the Marine Corps out of town, three war protesters ratcheted up pressure from the left by chaining themselves Friday to the front door of the downtown Marine recruiting office.
The demonstrators snapped their locks shut at 7 a.m. and spent the next 7 1/2 hours blocking the door, waving and chanting as hundreds of cars driving by honked in support. Finally, at 2:30 p.m., police snipped the chains and arrested them.
Two of the three were cited for blocking a business and released, and the third was booked into jail on an unrelated traffic warrant, police said.
Emphasis mine.
Railed? That's an objective term? I guess in San Francisco it is.
Now, admittedly, Flopping Aces wasn't objective calling them the Berkeley traitors or discussing the use of heat-ray guns on them. So maybe "railing" isn't too far from truthful. But I don't think I've ever seen a newspaper talk about the leftosphere "railing" about anything.
I do agree with Curt on this:
Sen. DeMint began to draft some legislation that will cut over 2 million dollars in earmarks to this city which I hope beyond hope he will be successful in enacting. The city of Berkeley has the right to act like jackasses. But in so doing they have NO right to our taxpayer dollars to fund their morally corrupt city.
Meanwhile Code Pink is starting a petition, which I have no doubt will be successful, that calls for recruitment centers to be subjected to a public hearing before opening. What else is subjected to this kind of hearing? Porn shops.
For all those moonbats who railed against Bill O'Reilly when he said it was acceptable for terrorists to target San Francisco if it passed a ban on recruiters in schools, it seems to me this behavior makes his language more understandable.
