Moonbats Quash a Store in San Francisco

According to the San Franfreakshow Comical,

It is too easy to make fun of the people who packed Room 400 in San Francisco's City Hall to stop American Apparel from opening a store on Valencia Street in the Mission District last week.

But let's make fun of them anyway — and everyone of their kind. It's the least we can do to repay them for making it impossible to do business in this country. Even the Comical is appalled:

They are not serious people. They live in a world where facts like 27 vacant storefronts on Valencia Street and 9.3 percent unemployment statewide and nearly 600,000 jobs lost nationally last month do not matter. The few who read books know no authors beyond Naomi Klein. They do not believe that the world has changed since the 1999 World Trade Organization protests in Seattle. This accounts for both the static nature of their vocabulary — "no formula retail!" is their death chant, though anyone who has picked up a newspaper in the last five months could tell you that there isn't a single retail establishment with a formula today — and the juvenile nature of their worldview. They do not want to see businesses be successful.

American Apparel pays immigrant labor over twice minimum wage to make clothes in Los Angeles. But it constitutes a chain store, so moonbats want it banned. They regard it as a "parasite" on their rotting urban "ecosystem." Those who would defend the capitalist exploiters received no quarter from SF's righteous liberals:

When a young man stood before the board and said that he only had health care because of his job at American Apparel, a voice in the overflow room called, "Get a job somewhere else!" Another employee told a story about a young Latino man who was able to send money to his family in Central America, and this news was met with sneers. An American Apparel representative told the board that he had gotten messages from people threatening to throw a brick through the store window, and the crowd laughed.

Don't bother asking liberals who they are going to tax if no one's allowed to run a business. They'll just tell you "the rich" have plenty of money.

Capitalist exploiters.

It's very hard for idiots who live off trust funds to understand the concept of needing a job.

"...and the juvenile nature of their worldview..."

The paper is insulting rational children by calling these sociopaths "juvenile".

"Don't bother asking liberals who they are going to tax if no one's allowed to run a business. They'll just tell you "the rich" have plenty of money."


Once they close all the businesses in the country the only "RICH" they will have to tax will be the Limousine Liberals and we all know how much they pay taxes...

I wouldn't shed one tear if San Fran slid off the continent into the ocean like the fabled atlantis.

It's a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah

It's the name ya'll.

If it was Che Apparel or Mao Apparel, it would be welcomed.

Or if they were putting together "leather goods" in L.A. for sale in S.F., that might be acceptible, even with the American Apparel name.

they sell "dance clothes " and spandex pants.
Big around college areas.
I thought those were what the "folks" there wear?
Change the name, sub it out, you'll be welcome and they'll be beating a path to the door.
On the rocks has it right. Make him/her the marketing manager and watch the graph.
It will be like magic

I really want to know what our liberal lurkers here think about this story. Seriously.

I think you can get an idea from reading the comments at SFGate. The moonbats there seem to be in agreement that:

1) "We hate corporations. They sit in their corporation buildings and act all corporationy. And they make money."

2) "The CEO of American Apparel is a pervert." (He's the subject of a sexual harassment lawsuit. Pretty ironic that the same crowd that relishes the Folsom Street Fair would call anyone a pervert.)

3. "We won, so suck it." (Taking their cues from Dear Leader.)

There are those of us in or around SF who will never cede the battlefield to these cretins, even though it often seems like an in impossible and fruitless task. (After a long hard fight The SF JROTC program may well be brought back from the brink for example.)

Though I often hear calls from fellow conservatives for SF to slide into the sea on a weekly basis, I ask instead for your prayers for victory and deliverence from the culture of insanity that is prevalent in the San Francisco Occupied Territories.

I think the name is the problem. They should've called the store "Anti-American Apparel," in which case the store would've been welcomed with open arms.

But let's give these people credit where credit is due. When they call someone a "parasite," they for once are speaking on a topic on which they're extremely well-informed.

Best wishes to you, Nathaniel, as a frontline combatant. I used to be, and in fact am from the Bay Area, but finally gave up.

Posted by: Jay Guevara at February 12, 2009 12:48 PM

The company should have called itself the American Bathouse and Bong Store.

Thank you Jay. Though I've retreated to the surrounding burbs and can no longer claim to be a frontline combatant in SF, I still have immediate family who live there and I go into the city at least 4 times a month. My family has roots dating back to the city's founding. It is an absolute travesty to see how much the city has decayed in a ten year period, driven into the ground by NIMBY/parochial 'progressives' while storefronts are empty, neighborhoods blighted and their pet poor proletariat class go under/unemployed.

I'd put money on that the majority of the A.A. protestors probably came from outside of the Mission district neighborhood and/or are recent hipster transplants. One commentor on sfgate.com I think profiled these jag-off types to a tee:

"Just spend some time in Ritual Roasters [a hip coffe shop on Velencia street in the Mission district], glance at patrons wearing vintage tees while sporting designer eyewear, wiping their hands on tight black denims before pianoting feverishly on their Macbook keyboards knowing their ultra light carbon fiber italian racing bicycles are securely locked outside. These hipsters are the very symbol they’re desperatly trying to bannish from the mission."

Nathaniel, I spent much of my childhood in SF (and went to Berkeley). As previously related, I have a photo taken on a school field trip that shows the Ferry Building as the highest building visible (that's how long ago that was - back when North Beach was Italian, SF was Democratic, but in a blue collar union way, and the first fruit had yet to arrive on the scene, at least openly).

I'm sickened by what SF has become, and regularly turn down job offers there. Liberal friends think I'm nuts to do so. I think they're nuts to want to live there, the way it is now. And raise a family there? You've got to be kidding...

How can Obama create four million jobs with morons like these opposing BO? (The RAAAACIST b*****ds) Send the army to clear them out before they derail the grand Liberal/Socialist plan!

Need anymore reason why SAN FRANFREAKSHOW should be completly boycotted? and that even means no more SAN FRANCISCO 49ers OR GIANTS

A naked man on a leash in Iraq is a moral outrage. A naked man on a leash in SF is a street fair.

Money which can be used to move wherever the rich can feel welcome. The rest of the world is learning this.

I have no love lost for American Apparel.

They are at the forefront of the open borders movement, donate big $$$ to folks like LaRaza & A.N.S.W.E.R., and have they skankiest tramps in their ads.

Screw them.
