San Franfeckistan Is Going Off: Again

My ex-beloved City by the Bay has finally had it's complete nervous breakdown and can someone please get it some percocet?

"San Francisco city officials are trying to force taxpayers to pay for immigrants' green cards and citizenship – and to bolster their case for the new tax, they've introduced a resolution condemning national radio talk-show host Michael Savage for what they call his "defamatory language ... against immigrants."

On the same day, apparently to further generate sympathy for immigrants and bolster Daly's bailout effort, Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval introduced a resolution condemning popular radio talk-show host Michael Savage, a mainstay of the San Francisco airways for years. Since he was syndicated nationally by Talk Radio Network, Savage has become one of the nation's most-listened-to radio talkers.

Condemning the "defamatory language used by radio personality Michael Savage against immigrants," Sandoval's resolution is apparently in response to Savage's July 5 broadcast, when the talker commented on a group of students who had announced they were fasting in support of changes in immigration policy.

"I would say, let them fast until they starve to death," quipped Savage, "then that solves the problem."

Not a huge Savage fan, but the guy tells it like it is and in this case is spot on.

I weep for the loss of such a pretty little city, but as far as I am concerned San Fran is so far off the scope of reality, it should be renamed La La Land.

Note also their selective respect for freedom of speech.
