Gay Bay Disrespects the Military Once Again

This coming Saturday I'll be visiting San Francisco while taking my college daughter shopping. It's a beautiful city, but frankly, I have a hard time spending money there because of stories like this:

New York said “yes,” but we said “no.” Why were the U.S. Marines denied permission to film a recruiting commercial on the streets of San Francisco? San Francisco is, once again, the center of a controversy over how city leaders treat the U.S. military. This time, it involves an elite group of Marines who wanted to film a recruitment commercial in San Francisco on the anniversary of 9/11.

The tension has been building in the two weeks since the city turned away members of the Silent Drill Platoon, and it boiled over Monday afternoon at a meeting of the San Francisco Film Commission. The U.S. Marine Silent Drill Platoon performed Monday morning in New York’s Times Square. They filmed part of a recruitment commercial through the start of the morning rush hour — something they could not do in San Francisco on the anniversary of 9/11. “It’s insulting, it’s demeaning. This woman is going to insult these young heroes by just arbitrarily saying, ‘no, you’re not going to film any Marines on California Street,” said Captain Greg Corrales of the SFPD Traffic Bureau.

Captain Greg Corrales commands the police traffic bureau that works with crews shooting commercials, TV shows and movies in the city. He’s also a Marine veteran and his son is serving his third tour of duty in Iraq. He says Film Commission Executive Director Stefanie Coyote would only allow the Marine’s production crew to film on California Street if there were no Marines in the picture. They wound up filming the empty street and will have to superimpose the Marines later.

“Ms. Coyote’s politics blinded her to her duty as the director of the Film Commission and as a responsible citizen,” said Captain Corrales.

This is just the latest in a long line of anti-military outrages perpetrated by the morons that run that city. Some of their greatest hits include:

Gay Bay Lefties Attempt to Ban the Blue Angels
San Francisco Drops JROTC
No Battleships Allowed in the Gay Bay

The Military has fought back from time to time:

The Navy Writes Off the Gay Bay

I'll drop some bucks in San Francisco, but only because I haven't seen my college girl for over a month and I'd rather shop with her than play political games with the city's idiot leaders.
