How Snide Can An SF Politician Be: Talk To Michael Sweet and Find Out
There were quite a few politicians who showed up for the Feinstein-Newsom rally for prop N, but one politician who seemed especially irritating was Michael Sweet.
Michael Sweet's stand on corporate power and the war could not have been more obvious. After shmoozing with supporters of his from the business community he approached the antiWar protesters and made snide remarks about hurting homeless people and bombing Iraq.
OK, another Republican politican running for a conservative district? Nope, on his website he tries to make himself seem like a mainstream liberal (http://www.sweetforsupervisor.org/ ) Its good to catch these corporate pawns off guard.
Since hes running against Chris Daly, he will probably lose, but its good for San Francisco to see what an asshole the conservative candidates really are. The liberal ones are not much better but Newsom and this guy kinda remind me of that movie "Bob Roberts".

The only question is, why is anyone surprised?
It would have been more useful to the readers of this website to know where and when this rally was held, how many showed up, and what did the sleazebags Feinstein and Newsom have to say? Did King Willie the Last show up too, as he is also Yes on N? What other public figures showed up and what did they have to say?
Because if we want to protect against these idiots we need to be walking precincts, making phone calls, and doing the grunt work.
And posting here - thanks!! Its extremely inspirational toward working on campaigns to see these fascists up close - great work.
