Talk host's towering rant: S.F. not worth saving

I guess Newsom won't be inviting O'Reilly out for a date.

[CAluvdubya]

I don't get it, how can SF vote to ban handguns? It's our constitutional right. How does SF get away with ignoring the constitution? Am I just being stupid or is this vote meaningless?

[Rummyfan]

Conservative talk-show host Bill O'Reilly is ready to scratch San Francisco off the map of the United States.

Wow. I actually agree with BOR on something! Don't call him conservative though.

[Rummyfan]

And I would like to keep Dr Savage and the Niners please.

[Aquinasfan]

As I look into my crystal ball, I see a rash of home invasions and burglaries in SF. Ommmm....

[Clemenza]

Add Molinari's Deli in North Beach to the list.

The Second Amendment...
America's Only Homeland Security!

[CoolPapaBoze]

You're not stupid and this vote is not meaningless. You're trying to apply logic and rational thought to a place that long ago abandoned that approach. The people here are comfortably insane.

[L98Fiero]

Consider the source. Pravda is probably considered conservative there.

I didn't get the writers point at all, other than his panties are in a bunch. I'm with O'Reilly on this one. Screw 'em.

[Kozak]

I'd miss Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown and Little Italy especially "The Stinking Rose" and that great deli on Columbus. After that I'd be hard pressed to shed a tear.

"I don't get it, how can SF vote to ban handguns? It's our constitutional right. How does SF get away with ignoring the constitution? Am I just being stupid or is this vote meaningless?"

Don't forget, their mayor deliberately flouted CA law and approved giving marriage permits to gays last year. He was breaking just as many misdemeanors as if he was handing out permits to open whorehouses in residential neighborhoods.

Yet did the state police arrest him for flouting state law? Nah.

Such would have been the wet dreams of the faggots in SF. To have their beloved mayor taken away in handcuffs. It would have moved gay rights to the front page.

It will take the single remaining normal person in SF to challenge the laws in courts.

[psjones]

O'Reilly Conservative? Shows how much the writer of the article knows which isn't much.

[CTOCS]

The vote in meaningless. There is a provision in the CA constitution whereby state law trumps local jurisdictions with respect to this type of thing.

[msnimje]

How freaking far to the left do you have to be to think BOR is conservative?

[Kozak]

Thats the one! See post #10

[gcruse]

I wonder what is the connection between the BOR and city government? The BOR says only that Congress shall not... It says nothing about local voters or even state government.

[SmithL]

I'd agree with keeping the 49ers only if we could get rid of the Yorks.

[sofaman]

yup...suddenly he's a conservative...

I wonder if they were as upset when Rhandi Rhoades suggested that Dick Cheney do a "Fredo" on Bush..."you know, take him out on the lake and (popping sound)". The SF Chronicle can go and get stuffed.

[Mulch]

You're right. Morton Grove, Illinois (Chicago) did the same 10-15 years ago.
