San Francisco America’s Most Liberal Intolerant City

Another example of leftwing intolerance from the City by the Bay.

Governor's appearance at King breakfast angers city's labor leaders
by Phillip Matier, Andrew Ross

Local labor leaders are fuming over Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's last-minute appearance at the annual Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast in San Francisco -- and a lot of their anger is directed at former Mayor Willie Brown.

"We've spent a year and a half, and millions of dollars fighting this SOB,'' San Francisco Labor Council head Tim Paulson said of the governor. "For him to come to this breakfast was an absolute insult."

According to Matier and Ross, Paulson said that he “went absolutely crazy” and told MLK organizers that they should tell “him (the Governor) he’s not welcome here.”

Paulson went on to refer to Speaker Willie Brown as a pimp for Arnold Schwarzenegger and he said that Brown has, “gone over to the other side.” In his always classy and disarming way, Mr. Speaker chuckled, “It’s too bad he didn’t say the dark side.”

Is proposing freedom for labor union members to determine how their union dues should be spent a reasonable basis to bar a Republican Governor from speaking about civil rights on a day that honors civil rights advocate Martin Luther King, Jr.? Apparently, in the judgment of leftwing loonies it is.

This story is just one more example of how vitriolic the left is, especially in San Francisco (refer to my recent post The Intolerant Left - Another Example). And, Paulsen used a play from the liberal playbook when he called Speaker Brown a pimp and Governor Schwarzenegger a SOB.
