Virtually ignored by the establishment media, the famous antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan officially kicked off her campaign to unseat Speaker Nancy Pelosi with the opening of her campaign headquarters yesterday in San Francisco.
The date of her headquarters opening coincided with the date John Lennon was assassinated in New York 27 years ago. Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono, hoped his passing would be remembered by people everywhere imagining a world of Peace and Love.
Former Board President Matt Gonzalez, former Union Local 10 Secretary-Treasurer Clarence Thomas and former mayoral candidate Ahimsa Sumchai attended the campaign kickoff event.
Note the “former” status of her union and political support. The truth is that Pelosi is the beneficiary of the Burton-Brown political machine, a mob as ruthless as anything ever spawned in Tamanny or Chicago. They take care of their own, and destroy their others.
Nonetheless, I am supporting Moonbat Sheehan.against Nancy Pelosi. I think San Francisco should be represented by a lunatic commensurate with its culture. And I’d love to see the pillar of the Democratic congressional leadership sent packing by an out-and-out yahoo like Sheehan.
