In reply to the discussion: Was this photo of Feinstein with a gun photoshopped? [View all]RandySF
(58,786 posts)6. I know someone who respects her.
I know a little old lady who has lived on Church St. since the 1960's. She was at the forefront of SF progressivism and the LGBT movement. She knew Harvey Milk, Cleve Jones, Kim Rivaldo and George Moscone. And one day at breakfast at the Crepevine I asked who whom she thought was the City's best mayor. Without hesitation she said Dianne Feinstein because she held the city together after the City Hall murders. Feinstein knows how to handle a gun. She kept one in her purse after SFPD found a hit list with her name on it in the home of a People's Temple official. And if you knew her full life story, you might have a little bit of respect, yourself.

DiFi lost me when she went behind Obama's back & supported more sanctions on Iran.

Feinstein sucks says this not so little middle aged San Francisco woman. And so does Crepevine.

Guessing it was from this press conference (or an earlier/similar one given the date):

Yeah, if that was something happening today, and not a decade and a half ago, she'd be arrested....

The first photo was hard to see, as noted, take a look at a later one I posted

Expertise isn't necessary, a lack of demonstrable idiocy and/or ignorance will do
