I’m sure that the Marines would be very happy to help Mister Bates leave town.

"For somebody in the government, an elected official, to take away a program that's not only helping kids in Berkeley but is a model for kids across America, is just a travesty," Cooper said.

Ann, you wouldn't know 'travesty' if it walked up and whacked you upside the head with a neon sign. You've had your 5 seconds of fame, now why don't you go back and hide in a hole somewhere?

Gheeesh .......in the Peoples Republic of Kalipronia of course.

Bates, a retired Army captain, also issued a statement that said the City Council's resolution Tuesday night "did not adequately differentiate our respect and support for those serving in the armed forces and our opposition to the Iraq war policy." He said he would ask the council to modify the resolution at its next meeting, scheduled for Feb. 12.

Like most liberals, this guy is a coward who hides behind political manuevers.

He is not a man. He is slime, a scumbag, a coward of the lowest type.

“For somebody in the government, an elected official, to take away a program that’s not only helping kids in Berkeley but is a model for kids across America, is just a travesty,” Cooper said.”

This lady sure has her priorities messed up. She is more concerned with HER model for kids across America and her own self fulfillment than she is about the security that allows her to be so dumb.
To take away the Marine Recruiting Offices ..Ms.Dumbness...which is a program that allows you to live in the state of mindless safety that you do is the travesty.

Leave that craphole, and then drop a daisy cutter on it.

[Brimack34]

We should move all Military Bases out of California. Maybe to Mexico.

Obstructing recruitment stations during a time of war is sedition. It also is, if witnessed and testified to by three, is adhering to our Enemy during wartime which is defined by the Constitution as Treason which has a maximum penalty still of death.

These domestic enemies of the United States can be charged with treason.

Councilman Max Anderson, who said he received an honorable discharge from the Marines, maintained he "absolutely" wants them out of Berkeley.

I've just got to hear about this guy. First the Mayor is an Army Captain and then this former Marine wants the Marines out.....

I'm not even mad about these guys and gals. I only pray to God that one day while they're on their knees with a blade at their throats a Marine will not have to give his life to save their ungrateful, pathetic, and cowardly lives.

May they reap what they sow and rest in the sewers of hell.

Berkley, F.O.

Same goes for Oakland.... I'm old enough and have enough cash to never have to go any place I don't want to. I'll never spend a dime in Cali or any other sh#t hole that doesn't like Marines.

(shaking my head, scratching and wondering what happened to our country)

A Marines spokeswoman said Friday that the Corps has no intention of abandoning its space at 64 Shattuck Square that has been the subject of protests for months.

I would love to see a hand to hand combat with the local Berkeley hippies that voted for them to leave as they try to eject them. That would last all of three seconds. No need to specify the winner there.

Must admit I would buy tickets for front row seats--although there would be no time to sit before it was all over.

Hey, Berkeley!

"Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates offered Friday to help the U.S. Marines leave town by negotiating an end to the lease for their recruiting station ..."

Wow! What a guy .... schmuck. This turd has no idea how good he has it. Marines died so that this guy can behave like a total ars*hole.

[hosepipe]

Somebody ought to keep track of people like this.. After the first nuke goes off in America public opinion will take a decided move to the right.. This guy (and people like him) will “try” to blend into the woodwork..

[tpanther]

“We are against the war in Iraq, and when you put a recruiting station in our midst, people are going to use that symbol as a way to oppose it,” Bates said. “If pro-war people want to come here, we’ll give them a permit, too.”

The arrogance of the far left moonbats is simply astounding!

Ummmm...noooooooo...you don’t “GIVE” sane American people a permit or rights dufus. And frankly YOU EARN the right to SERVE in a public office!

"For somebody in the government, an elected official, to take away a program that's not only helping kids in Berkeley but is a model for kids across America, is just a travesty," Cooper said.

No cooper, (mis)using the power and authority of your offices to infringe on these fine officer's right to the quiet enjoyment of their constitutional rights is a travesty. This is just desserts...

[gigster]

It says that the scum/protesters scuffled with five men
who tried to enter the building.
I saw the picture of the “Hero of the Day” in the Airborne
shirt as he got in the face of that worthless puke.
Don’t we have some local Marines and other Services
who can show up enmass and show the dirtbags what a real “Scuffle” looks like when they try to enter the building?
If I didn’t live on the other side of the country I would be there tomorrow.

[sugar_puddin]

OK, give those socialists what they want.........and then some!

As the Marines leave, let them carpet bomb Berkley on their way out of town.

Works for me! ;)

[L.N. Smithee]

I ain't a lawyer, but it seems to me that granting one activist organization a permit to park in front of a particular place for the express purpose of harassing lawful activity is a clear violation of equal protection laws.

Any takers?
