Mayor Bates better start crackin the whip, or the OWS will take complete control and make him look as foolish as ex-Oakland Mayor Quan looked, marching arm in arm with the anarchist devils. A lotta good that did her in the elections.
Tom Bates was a military veteran with about 10 years service yet he married a communist from Berkeley named Loni Hancock. They switched seats and mayoralship over the past 20 years.
Why he became a red is very puzzling but with a wife like Hancock (whose red record is extremely long), it is similar to DeBlasio marrying his red wife.
A nice piece on both of them re their communist histories would be very informative and give you an insight into the red asshole known as Berkeley.
