"Wow Speier was shot 5 times. I knew she was an aide to Ryan but not that she was there."

You'd think that would be enough to make her a Conservative. Alas, she is a moonbat.

"But with him already have killing the mayor and ending his chances for reappointment why even confront Milk unless he was gonna kill him regardless? Although I guess Milk could have pleaded and saved himself. White snapped as opposed to being a monster."

Well, he was going to kill him, but one would've hoped there might've been a window for Milk to try to talk White out of it. The smile probably was the kicker. 6 bullets. When he shot Moscone, he fired the first two bullets, paused, and then fired two more. Dan was REALLY pissed off, and it wasn't the twinkies.

"Glad I've never seen such airport freaks in my time. Maybe there were still present during my visits to Hawaii and Alaska (and a Cali airport) as one too young to remember in the mid-eighties?"

It's possible. I remember how much fun, though, it used to be going to the airport in the days before the body cavity searches. Used to be so many more airliners those days and you could go out and look at them all. They had a nice little garden at our old airport where you could sit outside and watch 'em take off. We had this huge concourse there for all the gates, and I used to hope whenever we were meeting or seeing off a family member, it was the one all the way at the end. Back in the '70s, O.J. Simpson when he was still beloved and respected, used to do this great ad on tv where he'd run down a concourse with his luggage. Every time I went to the airport, I pretended I was O.J. and would go flying down the concourse like a track runner or football player. Try doing that today and you're likely to get tackled by airport security, even if you are just 4 or 5 years old.

"Last season the OC it was revelated the Cohens used to live there and they moved back cause the conservative mom thought the OC with it's awful vapid housewives was no place to raise her new baby. Ridiculous. Stupid liberal writers."

Yeah, but Sandy Cohen WAS a stupid liberal. Berkeley is a ludicrously expensive place to live and is little better than a run-down slum where psychotics and criminals have run of the place. Rather than dealing with the crime rate and trying to deal with the businesses closing down, the beyond-moonbat assclowns on the City Council (and Mayor) would prefer to deal with such pressing matters like global warming and impeaching Cheney. I told you when my father went there to see my half-sister this summer, their house was hit a few times (the same thug kept coming back, probably from Oakland, since the Black and Illegal thugs over there now the rich White libs won't do anything to them). They knew he came in over the back fence. My brother-in-law, I'm told, decided to put nails in the top of the fence, so if the little punk tried to grab the fence without looking, his hands would be impaled. Of course, that's a no-no, since the little darling might sue if that happens. I'm hoping he may actually start to become a Conservative as a result. I don't know what it will take to convert my half-sister from bonafide Marxism, even after having two kids. And, yup, she did say to me straight out she is a Communist (though will vote Democrat, since it is "close to the desired goals" -- she voted for Gore).

"I'd have let him get "lost" in the system. Like in a mental ward or gitmo. Where is the "far-right" equivalent of this? Media? 'sides maybe the Klan the 50's and 60's if want to call them "rightwing" which I don't, didn't exist. There is no rightist analogue to the leftist radicals today. Which really illustrates the foolhardy nature of fauxcon rats and conservative voters voting for the same party that accepts such members."

No, no real "opposition" to this of any particular size. Perhaps some of the militia types, but they're close to being anarchists anyway, so they've almost sailed off the right horizon into the left across the political date line. Even the John Birchers aren't violent types, they just believe the worst of government and conspiracy theories about the far-left infiltrating and destroying our society (they were lampooned with their anti-flouride campaigns). Bill Buckley wanted them out of the "respectable right" because he thought them uncouth and not able to logically argue against what was actually really happening with the left and their goals. Birchers may be a little wacky, but they're not evil or truly dangerous by any stretch. They're paleo-Cons. I'm more a neo-.

Excellent discussion about the horrifying destruction of our country's most beautiful city. I first visited SF while at the Goldwater 1964 GOP National Convention. Also spent time there during the 2000 Bush election campaign and aftermath. There were still enough Republicans there for Sore-Loserman demonstrations. In 1964 the city was still largely blue collar, and the setting was still lovely in 2000.

I love Hitchcock's Vertigo, which is a love song for the city, in addition to its other virtues. In 1964 the city still looked the same. I think that the White affair, because of his identification with what later became known as social conservatism, demoralized those who had backed him, and accelerated the disaster.

I don't remember if you ever told my your sister was a literal commie! Woah. She voted for Gore? Well the commies did formally endorse him if memory serves.

It was the same guy that hit their house huh. That's like it was in one of the Death Wish movies. The same punks kept robbing the same old couple. "You'd think that would be enough to make her a Conservative. Alas, she is a moonbat."

I kinda take things personally, if commies shot me, man I sure wouldn't be one. And if criminals kept hopping the fence? The same

O.J. Simpson when he was still beloved and respected, used to do this great ad on tv where he'd run down a concourse with his luggage. Every time I went to the airport, I pretended I was O.J. and would go flying down the concourse like a track runner or football player.

Too funny. ;)

I love the Naked Gun movies. I forget about his fans and how they must feel about what he did.

I was a youngster in 94 or whenever, I came home desperate for my Power Rangers (Pink Ranger=first tv crush shares my b-day) and cartoon fix and there was some guy I never heard of in a White Bronco, so boring, I'll never forgive him. ;)

"Try doing that today and you're likely to get tackled by airport security"

Episode of Seinfeld, Kramer pops out of the baggage conveyer. A guard was right there, stone faced, doing nothing. HA!

They're paleo-Cons. I'm more a neo-.

I used Paleocon as a virtual slur say 5 years ago when I was geared up to topple every dictator and if Buchanan didn't like it he could suck rocks!

Neither sounds quite right to me now.
