(SF GATE) San Franciscos top political leaders piled on Tuesday in opposition to a right-wing groups planned rally next week at Crissy Field, with Mayor Ed Lee expressing outrage that the National Park Service granted a permit for the event and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi questioning whether it had been approved under guidance from the White House.
An organizer of the Aug. 26 rally rejected suggestions that it would be a gathering of white supremacists. And the local managers of the Presidio, a national park site, said the groups politics made no difference because it had a constitutional right to a permit as long as public safety isnt endangered.
Pelosi, Lee and Sen. Dianne Feinstein said their fear is that law enforcement wont be able to ensure public safety, especially in the aftermath of Saturdays violence at a rally of white supremacists and neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Va. A woman was killed and 19 people were hurt when a car was driven into a crowd of counterprotesters, allegedly by a man who has espoused neo-Nazi views.
The Golden Gate National Recreation Area tentatively issued a permit to the group Patriot Prayer for the Crissy Field rally before last weekends violence. Patriot Prayer says on its website that it is "about fighting corruption and big government with the strength and power of love ... and extending free speech for all."
The group was not connected to the Virginia rally of white nationalists. However, its recent events in Portland, Ore., and Seattle have served as magnets for right-wing extremists, who in turn have drawn left-wing counterprotesters. Clashes between the two sides marked the Portland event, while the Seattle rally Sunday was largely peaceful.
The group is ostensibly religious, but its purpose is really an attempt to provoke black-clad ideologues...

I think the only reason the ACLU intervenes is because they want these groups to protest to stir the sh... They’re a lightning rod for violent leftists. ACLU is not our friend.
Yeah, the statement is presented as fact, and I was about to post a similar comment, but it does say, “according to the Southern Poverty Law Center” (as if they know).
Yep...I just read that from what was in the excerpt...
“I bet they think the Boy Scouts are a hate group....”
In fact they do.
Really????
God help us!!!!!!
These black-clad communist anarchists will use any excuse to provoke violence. They seek to destroy our Nation and rebuild their 'Nirvana' (led by Commies) out of the ashes.
The Media covers for them, and are complicit.
The thing is they don’t realize how they will be treated or what will happen to them if the “dream” comes true...
Their ideas of “utopia” will turn out to a bleak and barren life....
I see this as a roadmap of what the left will do. They will accuse a group having a rally of hate, The police will require the group to disarm and have no baseball bats or backpacks. Then when the group leaves, the police will withdraw and the left thugs will beat them up and say they deserve it.
Eventually, the left thugs will be attacking church members as they leave. All in the name of tolerance and diversity.

Ok, but none of these groups have been effective from protecting us from the homoleftisttyrants as far as I can tell.
I guess I will assume that they speak for me because I stand for the 1st amendment and the Constitution.
No, no argument about what you posted. Those groups are all lower than whale chit.
In the context of this thread your post was left open to the interpretation that it was aimed at Patriot Prayer since you did not elaborate in any way.
I figured you didn’t mean that but the only way to find out was to respond and at the same time offer a little research for everyone on Patriot Prayer.
Absolutely.
I knew the devout catholic Pelosi would object to a prayer meeting. this is the meaning of oppression and fascism. we will decode what you can do in MY city.
BFL.
I had no issue with Patriot Prayer at all.
Mob rule from the top down. Life is a Twilight Zone Episode.
Free Speech is up for negotiation now.
Anybody here believe that the Rats wouldn’t hesitate to disarm the Public if given a window of opportunity?
(yes, WE know that for a fact. Just surfacing the question)
I didn’t think you did.
