"Daly says that San Francisco firefighters are livid over O’Reilly’s remarks because Coit Tower was built as a monument to their profession. "To choose that target, given the context of bravery of New firefighters on Sept. 11th, is doubly harsh message from Bill O’Reilly,” Daly said."

Oh!, they're not "livid" over banning recruiters who are members of the military who are avenging the death of NY firefighters by having kicked butt in Afghanistan and who are also killing members of the same terrorist group every day in Iraq. I appreciate their concern about their hunk of concrete and stone, but, if this is truly the attitude of the SF firefighters rank and file (i.e. concerned with their tower, but note defensive of the right of our military to recruit), then they are just as selfish, arrogant, and incredibly self-centered as the city they work in.

You might need to lower your expectations.

San Fancisco's, just like every other, is after all just one more mobbed-up "public service" union.
