CA Tea Party To SF: You Boycott AZ? Then We Boycott You!

California Tea Party groups are calling San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's boycott and raising him a ... boycott.

The mayor raised the ire of California Tea Partiers this week when, in response to Arizona's passage of a controversial immigration law, he announced a boycott of the state, barring San Francisco city employees from entering Arizona and threatening to cut off economic ties. Local Tea Partiers who support the Arizona legislation answered his actions with a boycott of their own -- on the city of San Francisco.

"We are just tired of our representatives not representing our wishes," said Bridget Melson, president of the group Pleasanton/NorCal TEA Party, which called for the boycott on Wednesday. "I think if you interviewed the majority of Californians it would be staggering to find how few of them support this Arizona boycott. Mayor Newsom is just way out of touch with the American people and the San Francisco people."

The group has encouraged its members not to patronize local businesses. (Unlike Newsom, it has not asked them to avoid entering the city, which could prove problematic, given that a number of its members live there.) "Spend your money anywhere else...vacation elsewhere, dine elsewhere -- if you protest here, bring your own food, coffee and water," Melson writes in the boycott's official call to arms. "I am very worried about this country. This is no joke here...This is how civil wars start."

That's right. "Civil war."

The Pleasanton/NorCal TEA Party will also be protesting Newsom's actions, starting with a rally on May 1...in San Francisco.

Hopefully, they're sincere.

are going to boycott SF? If I lived there I'd throw a party to celebrate. Good riddance.

How will SF ever live without them? :rofl:

(At least, its current "kook format!")

Let it be an example for others.

Tea baggers avoid San Francisco already.

seems od if they decided to go there anyway--too much chance of a counter protest, I would imagine...

I'll boycott Pleasanton! I wont go there for uhhh... wait, I'll think of something...

Hold on...


Hmmm...


Buying an ugly suburban house that's lost 1/3 of it's value?

They're going to boycott San Francisco... and the first thing they do is - go to San Francisco?

Oooookay.

Please, get back on your meds. Really. :rofl:

I'm beginning to believe that Teabaggers wouldn't pass the 'fist in a jar' test.

there since it will give SF business...nor will they stay there...wonder how they'll try to get out of paying the toll over any of the bridges.

MUAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!! :evilgrin:
