Berkeley Already Feeling Backlash From Anti-War Vote


Oct. 18 (AP) — The city of Berkeley is already feeling a backlash in the wake of a resolution asking the Bush administration to end the attack on Afghanistan.
 
Rachel Rupert is chief executive officer of the city's Chamber of Commerce. She says several large conferences have canceled bookings. Restaurants are reporting reservations are being canceled.

She says people calling in the cancellations are making it clear that Tuesday's vote is the only reason.

She says approval of the resolution is going to continue to impact business in the community. She feels there wasn't enough thought given to that impact before the resolution was introduced.

But council member Kriss Worthington, who supported the measure, blames the reaction on the chamber and on council members who opposed the resolution.

Worthington says they have publicly discussed the idea of a boycott of Berkeley over the measure — and that's what will really hurt business.

Wow!  Now that's a huge freakin' surprise.  Imagine a liberal doing something without giving it enough thought.  At least this braindead, bottom-feeding liberal has figured out that lack of thought is her problem.

Typical liberal POS points the finger of blame at anything else but their own stupidity. They made their bed, now they'll have to lie in it. [rolleyes]
