It was the usual empty rhetoric - i.e. "just words."

it had NOTHING to do with political rhetoric.

White was angry because his request to be reappointed to the Board of Supervisors was denied. It wasn't a political murder, it was the murder of two politicians.

Politically the late seventies was a period of comparative calm in San Francisco. The White Night riots took place after the murders (in reaction to the lenient sentence that White received)

In San Francisco?

WTF?

You can't end a rape culture by enabling rapists.

This is a bad joke. Couldn't they wait until he accomplished something?

Of course he was elected POTUS without having accomplished anything so this is just more of the same thing.

Or maybe they gave him the award for the "Beer Summit?"

When his only accomplishment was running for President.

In fact, since Obama admitted he doesn't deserve the award, is he anti-American?

"O-bama, O-bama, O-bama"

You were standing next to the punchbowl handing out the cups.

It's a mixture of a cult of personality with the mandated cheering you see for the leaders of totalitarian regimes.

I didn't buy it when the GOP wanted us to blindly support G-Dubya and I ain't buying it now.

If she wasn't from San Francisco people wouldn't assume she is a liberal.

BTW - California isn't "solid blue." Remember how Prop H8 passed here just last November?

There is one area in which I think Paglia and I would agree that politically correct feminism has produced a noticeable inequity. Nowadays, when a woman behaves in a hysterical and disagreeable fashion, we say, "Poor dear, it's probably PMS."

Whereas, if a man behaves in a hysterical and disagreeable fashion, we say, "What an asshole."

Let me leap to correct this unfairness by saying of Paglia, "Sheesh, what an asshole."

elect a Democrat next time.

He never took a good look at Obama. All he really cared about is that Obama was "not Hillary."

isn't that when he lies his followers believe him, it's that when he tells the truth they don't.
