The Return of Governor Moonbeam
He's back...
Decades ago Jerry Brown, current Oakland Mayor and former Governor of California, staked out a position on the furthest fringes of the lunatic Left. He has now won the Democratic primary for California Attorney General.
Brown's fanatical opposition to capital punishment is legendary. When they gave the needle to William Bonin, who confessed to raping and murdering 21 boys, Brown was bursting with indignation — not at Bonin, but at his "Nazi-style" execution.
However, this has not stopped Brown from admiring the brutal communist dictator Fidel Castro and his former chief executioner Che Guevara. He cherishes an original flag from Castro's disastrous July 26 movement, allegedly given to him by Che Guevara's widow.
Brown shares this affection for Cuba's tyrannical regime with the cognitively challenged cutie pie Linda Ronstadt, whose public romance with Governor Moonbeam back in the 70s helped propel her career. Ronstadt is known for enraging audiences with her left-wing proselytizing.
After getting together with Mother Teresa, Brown appeared to be developing a conscience when he announced that "the killing of the unborn is crazy." But when pro-abortion activists opened fire on him, he declared himself in favor of abortion.
Further insights into his moral character can by gleaned from his announcement in 1992 that if he got the Dem nomination for President, he would pick Jesse Jackson as his running mate. Jackson, spiritual adviser to Bill Clinton, has amassed a fortune through race-baiting and extortion, cheats on his taxes, and has blown funds sent by do-gooder idiots on a mistress.
As Attorney General, Brown will most likely follow the lead of fellow anti-business crusader Eliot Spitzer, the New York State AG who is expected to be the Empire State's next Governor. Here's a sampling of Brown's rhetoric:
Hundreds of thousands of working people are currently exploited, and as attorney general, I could and will go after employers with our lawyers to enforce the law.
As for actually fighting crime, forget about it. As he says on his website:
I will lead the fight against crime as I have done as mayor of Oakland.
According to the California Department of Justice, Oakland is the least safe major city in that state. It is California's car theft capital. Its homicide rate is twice that of Los Angeles and four times the state average.
"I will be an unusual attorney general," Moonbeam tells his fellow Dems. There's one campaign promise he will keep if elected.
He's expected to take a shot at getting back into the Governor's mansion in 2010.

Maybe Jerry Brown just thought that William Bonin's rape and murder spree was part of a colorful alternative lifestyle, and our willingness to condemn him for it merely reflects our fear of the sociopathic serial killer that resides in ourselves.

Brown, goofy as he was, is almost mainstream now...given how far left the dems have lurched.
