Marines Denied Permission To Film Commercial
On The Streets Of San Francisco
By Dan Noyes

SAN FRANCISCO, Sep. 24, 2007 (KGO) - New York said "yes," but we said "no." Why were the U.S. Marines denied permission to film a recruiting commercial on the streets of San Francisco?

San Francisco is, once again, the center of a controversy over how city leaders treat the U.S. military. This time, it involves an elite group of Marines who wanted to film a recruitment commercial in San Francisco on the anniversary of 9/11.

The tension has been building in the two weeks since the city turned away members of the Silent Drill Platoon, and it boiled over Monday afternoon at a meeting of the San Francisco Film Commission.

The U.S. Marine Silent Drill Platoon performed Monday morning in New York's Times Square. They filmed part of a recruitment commercial through the start of the morning rush hour -- something they could not do in San Francisco on the anniversary of 9/11.

"It's insulting, it's demeaning. This woman is going to insult these young heroes by just arbitrarily saying, 'no, you're not going to film any Marines on California Street," said Captain Greg Corrales of the SFPD Traffic Bureau.

Captain Greg Corrales commands the police traffic bureau that works with crews shooting commercials, TV shows and movies in the city. He's also a Marine veteran and his son is serving his third tour of duty in Iraq.

He says Film Commission Executive Director Stefanie Coyote would only allow the Marine's production crew to film on California Street if there were no Marines in the picture. They wound up filming the empty street and will have to superimpose the Marines later.

"Ms. Coyote's politics blinded her to her duty as the director of the Film Commission and as a responsible citizen," said Captain Corrales.

We asked Stefanie Coyote why they're not allowing the Marines to shoot on California Street. She wouldn't answer our questions.

At today's Film Commission meeting, she said she wouldn't let the Marines film because of rush hour.

"Traffic control was the issue," explained Stefanie Coyote.

However, the Marines would have just shut down one lane of California Street for a few minutes at a time, and Captain Corrales points out the Film Commission often approves shoots for rush hour.

"If they want to get the job done, they find a way to get it done," said Captain Corrales.

The city's treatment of the Marines is making many people angry, from local conservatives like Christine Hughes with the San Francisco Republican Party who told us, "it's an embarrassment. I'm a fourth generation San Franciscan and I don't even recognize my city right now."

To current and former Marines like Vince Rios, a Vietnam veteran.

"I'd like to say, 'does your mother know you're doing this? And if so, is she proud of you for that?'" said Vince Rios.

"The city of San Francisco made a statement saying, 'we don't like the war' by shutting down the troops. I don't think that was the right thing to do," explained Eric Snyder, a U.S. Marine.

"I wish to hell she would leave her politics at home and take care of the city business and the bridge business on an even keel basis," said Mike Paige, a Korea veteran.

The Marines also applied for permits to shoot on the Golden Gate Bridge that same morning, but were turned down because of similar traffic concerns.

The end result -- the crew didn't film the Marines in San Francisco at all. They had to go to the National Park Service for permission to shoot in Marin overlooking the bridge and at Kirby Cove.

"Golden Gate National Recreation Area is steeped in military tradition and we're honored to be a part of their continued military traditions so we're glad that we could accommodate the shoot," said Amy Brees with the National Park Service.

Captain Corrales and several other Marine veterans came to the Film Commission Monday afternoon. They see this as just the latest insult along with the city blocking the USS Iowa from docking here, banning the junior ROTC from high schools, and trying to ban the yearly Blue Angels air show.

"This -- a slap in the face of every veteran and every parent of men and women who are doing their duty -- is shameful," said Captain Corrales.

The Marines we spoke with also make the point that the city allows street demonstrations, anti-war protests and other events which snarl traffic, such as Critical Mass. They still don't understand why the Marines got turned away.

Was that a war face? Looks that way to me, these two Marines seem to be a bit upset at something a passer by on the street said. One appears to be screaming you want some, come on and the other is contemplating either a horizontal buttstroke or what he learned in the pugil pit.

Geez, you'd think that she'd get her panties wet over something else.
I'm really upset about all this. Traffic concerns? How about the time I couldn't drive across Market and First Streets', in the heart of San Francisco's downtown and financial districts, because we all (the rest of motor bound resident's or visitors waiting to get across the inter-section) had to wait until the, honest to God, "Dykes on Bikes", who were part of the Gay Parade festivities, cleared the inter-section.
Traffic concerns? My azz. What a bunch of horse puckey.

(Would it be perverted to say that some of Dykes on Bikes were pretty good looking? They almost made the waiting bearable. LOL.)

San Francisco disgraces itself. Again
Thomas Lifson
San Francisco turns a tolerant eye toward all sorts of behavior, all the while patting itself on the back for its virtue. NAMBLA used to march down Market Street in the Gay and Lesbian Pride Parade until the PR cost became too high and the group was banned by the parade's organizers.

But even San Francisco tolerance has its limits. It turns out that the United States Marine Corps is too hot for the city. KGO Television reports:
The U.S. Marine Silent Drill Platoon performed Monday morning in New York's Times Square. They filmed part of a recruitment commercial through the start of the morning rush hour -- something they could not do in San Francisco on the anniversary of 9/11.

"It's insulting, it's demeaning. This woman is going to insult these young heroes by just arbitrarily saying, 'no, you're not going to film any Marines on California Street," said Captain Greg Corrales of the SFPD Traffic Bureau.

Captain Greg Corrales commands the police traffic bureau that works with crews shooting commercials, TV shows and movies in the city. He's also a Marine veteran and his son is serving his third tour of duty in Iraq.

He says Film Commission Executive Director Stefanie Coyote would only allow the Marine's production crew to film on California Street if there were no Marines in the picture. They wound up filming the empty street and will have to superimpose the Marines later.

"Ms. Coyote's politics blinded her to her duty as the director of the Film Commission and as a responsible citizen," said Captain Corrales.
I wonder if Ms. Coyote is the wife of Peter Coyote, the left wing actor? This website lists his wife's name as "Stefanie Pleet." Whoever Ms. Coyote is, she is a disgrace.

After signing up about a month ago on ************* to advertise my counter-Islamo-terrorist product,a thing called Silver Bullet Gun Oil,I received about a week and a half ago a turndown to sell it on ************* because they claim it's a "Hate" site.Turns out ************* is located in,you guessed it,San Francisco.They sell many generic type of military items,they want to make money.BUT Silver Bullet is NOT a generic type product,it's aimed directly at Muzlim terrs. Silver bullet contains 13% pork grease.The gays,er I mean guys(?) at ************* have a problem with "OFFENDING" our enemies. I will admit that Silver Bullet Gun Oil is based on HATE. I cannot verbalize how much I HATE turning on the news and hearing of brother leathernecks or members of other branches being KIA or WIA by low-life muzlim terrs.I wanted to put some PROPER respect for the Corps in them by giving them good reason to avoid being KIA by Marines.Naturally those muzlims wantin to meet allah early were going to go after the Corps as they know sure death awaits those who are so stupid as to attack Gyrenes.Silver Bullet voids the "Jihaad" clause.As a consequence any muzlim kia from a weapon using SBGO does NOT get to meet allah.
I stopped being ****ed off about bein turned down when the news about the Corps being turned down to make a commercial there was aired.The mentality and philosophy demonstrated by SF is reprehensible and unpatriotic. ANY MFer THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT the excellent work being done by the Corps should pack their sh*t and hit the bricks,try Iran,oh yeah,I forgot,they don't "Have that problem (gays) there" so they won't be welcome there either.

And "Dykes on Bikes"---That's just hilarious (and awful at the same time).

But seriously, something's gotta give with this whole San Francisco situation. It seems like there's a new story every week about them committing an injustice against someone.

Speaking as a San Francisco Lefty _and_ a former Marine, I have to say I'm pretty disappointed by the things I see being spit out on this thread. Why does it always have to end up with the immature name calling? Why all the hatred toward gay people? If you feel like that, maybe you should go move to, like, Iran... oh wait-- you hate Muslims, too. My bad. If you hate San Francisco so much, why are you so worked up about these Devil Dogs not being filmed on its streets? You love the city but hate all the people in it? I understand it's easier to hate than it is to think. Hope it keeps you warm.

In '80 the U.S.S. Coral Sea___"San Fransisco's Own"___ set a record of 102 continuous days at sea. Upon returning to Alameda a request was made of the 49'er cheerleaders to perform on the flight deck during an open house day for all hands off duty, and civilians. They declined.http://www.leatherneck.com/forums/images/icons/icon13.gif

The Oakland Raiderettes accepted http://www.leatherneck.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif and put on a hell of a show including plenty of pictures with anybody who could produce a Kodak. Oh and they were smokin hot.

there are no gays in Iran, they don't have that problem like our country.

No gays in Iraq? One of the saying's that I heard from those deployed over there was, "Over there women were used for procreation and young men were used for recreation."
Jokes about San Francisco? I'm originally from there and have kin living in that area; I don't think they are gay; they have never told me so. LOL. I take the barbs with a grain of salt. My only beef with the city, now that the Giants' got rid of Barry Bonds, is that there are very few, if any, working class neighborhoods left within its' boundaries. Love the fog, sour dough French bread with Italian dry salami and Mother See's candy.

Marines are denied to shoot a commercial there, yet every year the city of San Francisco sponsors publioc gay orgy parades where gay parents dress their childrenin bondage gear and allow them to watch men publicly having sex in broad daylight on the street while children look on. This is what the gay community is all about-- not love, just random sex.

( ACHPED ) I think what really pis--es most people off here about this subject is the fact that they will let dykes on bikes & the rainbow network march down the middle of the street. But an organization like the U.S Marines was denied permission. The Marine Corps lives by the values that are respected around the world. Can you say that about Dykes on bikes or the rainbow network? This was just a slap in the face from the fuced up liberals. They saw a chance to hit back and they took it.

I'm new and not sure if I got this right (quoting) but I'd be interested in seeing some statistics on this statement.
The Gay community has been saying this for years but it seems frequently when a pedophile is caught he is gay...

Why should a homo, already given over to a pervision, ever be trusted with anything? Only thing new is that people living in any evil find security, and justification in numbers, therefore attempt to make it mainstream and PC.
