San Francisco ?

[kentuck]

Hillary criticized Obama for his speech in "San Francisco" the other day? What is the message when people bring up "San Francisco"?

[MadBadger]

1. She did it during the CNN compassion forum

It reminds me of a bill o'reilly and RW talking point of how those people view SF

[anonymous171]

2. Obama should just fire back with, calling her the senator New York City.

Big city girl.

[EFerrari]

3. Rich, gay people.

Forget that this city is mostly populated with just plain working people.

Archie Bunker -- did you hear that? Some gay folk are RICH!

LOL

[TahitiNut]

4. She blew the dog-whistle for the "faith-based" homophobes.

Next question? :eyes:

[Liberal Veteran]

5. Radical dirty left wing hippies, queers, and latte-sipping elitists!!!!

There is no ambiguity about what Clinton means.

[bigtree]

6. she wanted to make the point that Obama was pandering to SF donors

. . . by characterizing the resistance to voting for him in Pa. as the effect of voters who, supposedly, held different values than the group he was speaking to.

[kentuck]

7. What kind of "different values" ?

:-)

[PBS Poll-435]

8. I guess the non-(static)cling crowd...

[bigtree]

10. that's my take on his characterization of Pa. voters who didn't support him

[bunkerbuster1]

9. QUEER LATTE-SWILLING VOLVO ELITISTS!!!1!!

What's really ridiculous about that whole thing is that Obama wasn't even in San Francisco when he uttered those horrible words about folks bein' "bitter."

I realize Marin County is just north of SF, but still--you'd think if the right wing fuckheads are going to slander someone they'd at least get the location right.

[EFerrari]

11. Maybe they're afraid that saying "Marin" will make them gay

and sprout Birkenstocks on their feet.

lol

[bunkerbuster1]

14. I CAUGHT TEH GAI!!!

oy vey. You might be right bout that.

[City Lights]

24. Marin County - remember what big Bush said about Marin County...

The "hot-tubber" incident

In 2002, former President George H. W. Bush described "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh as "some misguided Marin county hot-tubber". His comment prompted criticism among readers of the Marin Independent Journal, until Bush sent the paper a letter of apology:

Call off the dogs, please. I surrender... I apologise. I am chastened and will never use 'hot tub' and 'Marin county' in the same sentence again.

[EFerrari]

25. That would be an American citizen who was tortured and railroaded

but, hey, he was from Marin!

[Cali_Democrat]

12. Code for gay latte liberals that drive Priuses

Hillary wants to hammer this home.

[saltpoint]

13. When I hear "San Francisco," I think: Karl Malden.

She wants people to hate Karl Malden.

[EFerrari]

15. LOL! Or, cable cars and Rice-A-Roni?

:rofl:

[Ysabel]

16. i think of "raffie old house"... :)

what my then two year old son called raphael house (a shelter in sf that we stayed in for awhile)...

[EFerrari]

17. Hi, there, Ysabel.

Is that shelter still even open? Newsom has been telling us want is no longer a problem.

:hi: to your family.

[Ysabel]

20. yep according to their website they are still on sutter...

[CreekDog]

19. Elitist, gay, Code Pinko, tofu eating, public transit taking, latte swilling, recycle-monkeys

:think:

ps-I was born at the place shown in the picture:


and no i won't use the icon thingy so you can find out if I meant this or not. i won't i won't i won't!

okay, on second thought, I will.

:sarcasm:

i say without any sarcasm at all when i say that if the country voted the way San Francisco and the Bay Area does, this would be a better nation.

[EFerrari]

23. Now you've done it -- you're on the list.
