It Appears To Be Working

Mayor of Berkeley has appologized for her comments about the Marine recruiting center after Republicans drafted a bill that would yank $2.3 million in federal funding for Berkeley programs.

This reminds of the time when the NFL pulled the Super Bowl from Arizona in 1992, because the state refused to recognize Martin Luther King day. Of course the two events have little in common, but I do wonder if Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Barbara Lee feel that the NFL made the right decision.

"I was under the impression that we have the right of free speech," said Xanne Joi of Code Pink. "To me, I thought free speech meant you get to say what you want without recrimination."
Group members have made their organization infamous by intentionally getting arrested at protests and congressional hearings.

This part of the article is oddly hypocritical, oui?

And they don't even realize who it is that protects their freedom of speech. Hypocritical and Ironic.
