Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's smiling face was beaming over San Francisco's Castro District today, after the conservative Liberty and Freedom Foundation decided to unveil a billboard at the corner of Market and Castro to push her visit next week to the South Bay.
As our Chronicle comrade Carolyn Lochhead reported earlier this week, Palin will be speaking at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts on Oct. 14. Promoters of her event (there's still tickets) said they could think of no better place to remind about her visit than in the shadow of the Castro's landmark rainbow flag; they unveiled the Palin sign today in a ceremony pushed by conservative radio station KSFO 560 AM.
"The Castro is supposed to be about a message of tolerance, and we hope that tradition stays,'' Victor Cocchia, executive director of Liberty and Freedom Foundation told us. "We were looking for a place to spend our ad dollars, and this came up..and we thought, "That's what this is all about."

I’ll bet the hissy fit will be intense enough to show up on The Weather Channel.

It will probably be declared as "Hate Speech" and taken down by the end of the week, or seriously defaced. We should start a pool:
Defaced, I give it three days.
Removed: seven days.

During the last presidential campaign I saw all sorts of vandalism to Republican signs esp. the Bush/Cheney ones ... doubt this will last long ....hopefully we'll see something like this soon!

24hr rent-a-cops might be a good idea.

It would scare the hell out of Dems if locals actually said they liked the billboard.
