That said, I am with you guys as far as the Blue Arrows.

I apologize that I offended your sensibilities but they are demonstrating with the pinko's and they do love Cindy. How do you know they're not commies?

I was working in San Francisco on the 11th floor of 555 Pine St., 1/2 block down from Chinatown during the First Fleet Week in the 1980's when I saw an A-4 Skyhawk fly by the window. We immediately went up to the roof to see the Blue Angels flying between the buildings in the Financial District just prior to making mock bombing runs on the Soviet Consulate on Green St. Hill. That said, San Francisco has always been a leftist town going back to the SF General Strike and the Longshoreman's Union efforts in the 1930's. My father was a young reform-school hoodlum and member of the Young Communist League in those days, as were most of his friends. I won't address Daly, but the SF supervisors have long been known as self-aggrandizers.

As far as Code Pink & Veterans for Peace, they have a constitutional right to believe and demonstrate as they do & the latter have earned that right IMHO. If some don't like thier political stance, that's ok. I, as a liberal, will defend to the death Michelle Malkin's right to be a no-talent neocon political hack and would defend her against the same type of censorship she preaches for on the aforementioned.

Fleet Weeks have always been a recruiting tool for the Navy/Marines. Considering the abysmally incompetent prosecution of this bloody Iraqi Occupation/Oil theft, if I was a young man of military age, I would still join the Navy as the safest alternative to driving a fuel truck between Kuwait & Baghdad or trying to referee a civil war in someone else's country where the only thing the opposing sides have in common is a virulent hatred of...Me.

Lets put this ill skewed thread in perspective.
When I was in the army and we were dealing with someone you had a disagreement with you called them commie pinko fags in humor. So everyone can ease up. I'm not going to forbid VFP from demonstrating against an airplane aerobatic show. I'm not going to send the police, MP's or the Secret Service after them. They are free to demonstrate in any way they please.

Well, I guess if it is ok to call MM this, it's sure ok to call Code Pink and the IVAW a bunch of commie symps.

Some letters to the editor at Examiner.com regarding San Fran city supervisor Chris Daly:

• I find it interesting and somewhat amusing that Supevisor Chris Daly continues to occupy himself by looking for just one more perceived offense to his sensibilities, now citing the annual Blue Angels air show as “dangerous and unnecessary” (“Daly backs move to ground Angels,” June 7).
  
  However, it’s obvious he uses this event to mask his real motivation of objecting to anything supporting the U.S. military, acknowledging the service of our servicemen and women, or supporting any display of national pride.
  
  It wasn’t enough that the board stood by and indeed encouraged the dismantling of our high school JROTC program, depriving hundreds of young people of a program where they could develop life skills emphasizing teamwork, respect and responsibility. Now that they have teamed up with Code Pink, et. al., to try to cancel the annual air show.
  
  Until San Franciscans wake up to the fact that The City is now firmly controlled by the fringe left, we can expect more of the same. I wonder if they would prefer to invite Hugo Chavez and the Venezuelan air force to perform instead.
  
  John Peloquin
  
  
  
  
  Supervisor Chris Daly wants to ban the Blue Angels because he says they are “dangerous and unnecessary.” The crack and smack dealing in Daly’s District 6 is even more dangerous and unnecessary.
  
  After nearly six years of Daly as supervisor, the district is still a drug-infested mess. I suggest Crusading Chris turn his attention to the urine-soaked and trash-strewn sidewalks of his district, rather than looking to the skies to ruin Fleet Week for an entire city.
  
  Paul Kim
  
  
  
  
  Supervisor Chris Daly, along with support from an anti-capitalism, pro-socialist organization such as Code Pink and Global Exchange, wants to end the Fleet Week air show by the Blue Angels.
  
  Of course the initiative is veiled in a concern for public safety and fuel economy, but the real agenda is a classic expression of left-wing disdain for the military and the adolescent belief that somehow John Lennon’s “Imagine” will come true in a world of jihadists, despots and multinational calculation.
  
  It appears that it is OK to express one’s outrage at the military through symbolic gestures protected by our laws and military, yet to demonstrate support for same is not permissible by the elitists of the left.
  
  What is it about murderous dictatorships and failed socialist governments do they not understand?

There are environmental benefits to you turning off your computer. It uses electricity you know.
