Brad wrote on Mar 11, 2007 11:46 PM:BLOME and Company need to be reminded that the SPeaker represents all of the US, not just the Bay Area of SF.... Of course I wish the speaker would act that way. As for ending the war, hey let's win it and then it will end.

claire wrote on Mar 12, 2007 1:36 AM:"San Francisco has been against this war from the very beginning," said Toby Blome, a physical therapist who organized the event. "This is our fifth year of the war, and Nancy needs to wake up and represent San Franciscans." Beg your pardon, but Nancy Pelosi is supposed to represent all the people.

SSGT Jason wrote on Mar 12, 2007 3:27 AM: Stop funding the war are these protestors nuts, the moment we stop funding even if we try to pull out, more and more will die without the funding to support their needs. Stop funding and more troops die, but they want to save the troops and bring them home. Sounds to me like some of these protestors don't think or don't care. Thank you from a military service member.

Awkins wrote on Mar 12, 2007 3:31 AM:So, we have the speaker of the house telling the Commander in Chief what to do, and a group of peace activists telling the speaker what to do. Who will tell the peace activists what to do? Whine, whine, whine! Where will this stop? Why can't the elected officials do their jobs for the positions they were hired/elected to do and quit wasting time and taxpayers' money on all these ridiculous witch hunts?

Steve wrote on Mar 12, 2007 3:36 AM:That's funny... I thought her position as a member of Congress meant that she represented the United States, not just San Franciscans. I don't agree with the War either, but her position now requires her to look at things with a much broader perspective. Unfortunately this means the "wishes" of many within the community of San Francisco may go unheeded.

bucky wrote on Mar 12, 2007 3:56 AM:If these pinks had protested a Republican, your article would not have said a few dozens. It would have said many dozens, several dozens, or maybe dozens and dozens in order to give the illusion that a hugh amount of people was there. But for this hag you softened the numbers. Truth be known, it probably was hundreds or maybe even thousands who protested. You creep!

jim wrote on Mar 12, 2007 4:43 AM:Liberals dont even understand Government..its laughable. Congress (law makers...read that slowly) does not have the power of the executive branch with respect to troop deployments and national security..they are law makers not Commander-in-Chief. This is precisely why we have only ONE Commander in Chief and not 400. Someone tell me why my fifth grade child knows this, but these activists dont? Congress cant do anything, but pull the money and leave our kids in Iraq defenseless...if they cut the funds, very bad for liberals, very bad for democrats..LOL. Libs have to win the Presidency to do something, but a Liberal Commander-in-Chief is an oximoron.

Stevel wrote on Mar 12, 2007 5:03 AM:Hey all you folks (especially the ones on border states) calling to stop funding the war are way off base..If anything we should be doing all we can to support our soldiers and the innocent people of Iraq...Just because the press and your Democratic leadership choose to concentrate on the negatives in this struggle don't forget the many positives in Iraq also like the schools and hospitals and such being built and opened...Yes we have lost over 3,000 volunteer soldiers lives in the struggle over the past 5 years but again you in the border states remember that illegal aliens have killed over 3 times that many American's right here on our own soil in that same amount of time..In fact since 9/11 they have killed more than the wars and 9/11 combined..And your propably the same folks preaching for amnesty...Wrong on tht count too..

Gary wrote on Mar 12, 2007 5:17 AM:Yes, Nancy, do what your constituents want ! All Dems should toe the line of their supporters. It's good to shine daylight on your politics so the rest of Middle America can wake up to what the great USA is facing - and stomp it out once and for all.

Jeff wrote on Mar 12, 2007 5:30 AM:Why did you not mention the name of the organization staging the protest? Is it becuse the "peace activists" are members of the pro-socialist, pro-terrorist "Code Pink"? Nice reporting.

Smitty wrote on Mar 12, 2007 5:41 AM:This war will be going on until we smash radical Islam. If you defund the war then you better believe there will be more 911's on out homeland. Wake up libs, The enemy is telling you who they are and you refuse to accept it.

ron wrote on Mar 12, 2007 5:54 AM:these people are right. If Pelosi et al were serious, they would stop the war today. Tell Bush he has a month to get them back or they will be eating whatever they can catch and using spitballs. Enough is enough, stop the BS, pull the plug or maybe we run some primary opponents who will!!

That's the problem with you peace dummies...you're unserious. San Francisco would do well to drop off into the ocean and let the briny deep take thee. I certainly don't want you here.

Brian wrote on Mar 12, 2007 6:22 AM:No surpise here that the Democrats are dragging their feet on taking decisive action to disengage from Iraq. If the war goes away, then their mandate and main political issue goes away. And they know that they will be responsible for the turmoil that will engulf the region when we pull out. Not to mention the ensuing global economic oil shock. So it suits the Dems to talk, talk, talk, and get as much mileage out of this issue as they can. Don't expect any troops to come home on Bush's watch. He doesn't want to be responsible for the ensuing catastrophe. He may have set it up but He's not going to end it.

Rich wrote on Mar 12, 2007 6:28 AM:I am in favor of groups like PINK going over to Iraq and spreading their "good" intentions with the insurgents and terrorists and ask them to stop the killing of their own people and help restore the peace. I am sure that they will listen to PINK supporters! You know, the terrorists are probably very open minded to good ideas. This could very well lead to events that could result in our troops coming home. Go for it, PINK.

Steve wrote on Mar 12, 2007 6:36 AM:A few dozen? A FEW DOZEN??!?!? And Tony Blome "speaks" for San Franciscans? Are you sure that was a peace activist march, and not just a kaffeeklatsch? When they get up to 50 activists, perhaps they can speak for all Americans. Sheeeeesh, what chutzpah!

Nils wrote on Mar 12, 2007 6:39 AM:Please note that Toby Blome says "...5th year of war..." and that she and her cohort were against it from the start. She means the battlefront in Afghanistan as well as Iraq. Chances are very good that Blome would like to share that plate of bread and cheese, as well as her flagon of wine, with Osma Bin Laden, Mullah Omar and some of the other terrorist filth she so openly aids and abets. In a just society, traitors like Blome would be behind barbed wire at Guantanamo. No justice, no peace.

john wrote on Mar 12, 2007 7:10 AM:My honest opinion is "Yawn". No matter where your opinion falls in the ongoing debate on the war in Iraq, events like this - unsubstantive, uninteresting, uninformed, and even uncreative yield nothing but a yawn from the already cynical American citizenry. For this problem to finally be solved it needs an agreement on the part of the American people that this war and its effects on America, on Iraq, and on the world is worthy of more consideration than the armchair protestors and prophets of doom are willing to give. And the politicians ongoing use of the same mind numbing rhetoric is getting to be too much.

James wrote on Mar 12, 2007 7:21 AM:The same people who object to the use of Government funds to support the war in Irag are the vary same people who have no problem with the use of other people's money to fund abortions. Hypocrits at the worst.

Cowardly Pelosi, San Francisco, Bleeding-Heart Liberals, France, and Spain would rather let these terrorists succeed in Iraq, so that we can all start hiding in or own SPIDER HOLES when these Forces of Evil leave Iraq, and come back to New York to kill our children. Are Pelosi and company as insane as the al-Qaeda terrorists???

Bill L. wrote on Mar 12, 2007 8:12 AM:One thing political activists need to remember is to not do silly things that just let opponents stereotype you and dismiss you as a fool. I would say that the woman who showed up at the protest carrying a glass of wine and a plate of bread and cheese was very guilty of this. The RNC couldn't have sent a better plant to make the protesters look silly.

Todd wrote on Mar 12, 2007 8:20 AM:I spent 10 years living in San Francisco. It's where rich trust-fund kids go to dress up as hippies, spit on the US and enjoy a latte. And they adore their Nancy. - Over 200 metric tons of human waste are deposited on city streets annually. I remember walking down the street in summer when the urine would start evaporating up from the sidewalks. It actually stings the nostrils. - The city gives monthly cash grants to "homeless" of $720 per month. This is just over the starting salary of a SFUSD teacher. The public school system in the Bay Area is the worst in the state. Ebonics is still regular curriculum today in the Oakland school district. - The unsolved crime rate is among the highest in the country. Two police helicopters were purchased by the state, but remain hangared because San Francisco views their use as a civil rights and privacy infringement. - Not only are San Francisco Police prevented from chasing suspects in cars. They also cannot chase suspects on foot. - Several Bay Area cities prohibit radiation therapy. You have to seek treatment in nearby Contra Costa or San mateo counties. - The Boy Scouts are still prohibited in four Bay Area cities.

I don't know which is worse - a bloodthirsty, warmongering, criminal administration with no sense of decency and no respect for law or human life, or a slew of pied pipers on the airwaves spewing the administration's vile propaganda of distortions, brazen lies, hate and childish epithets, or the army of braindead lemmings who constantly regurgitate that slime here and wherever they have the opportunity. If so many of the posters here think Iraq is such a lovely war, I would be happy to direct them to online information where they can get the recruitment information they need to sign up, slap on a uniform, and join the others being shipped over there untrained and unprotected. Wouldn't it be something if they'd either put up or shut up?
