Berkeley - Home to Intolerance

I agree but they are not my words. They come from the editor of The Berkeley Voice, Craig Lazzeretti.

So what conclusion can we come to regarding the events of the past two weeks? That the Berkeley City Council is home to the Jerry Falwells and Pat Robertsons of the left? It's unfortunate but true.

These council members may be able to look in the mirror today and tell themselves that they did the right thing, that they made an important statement about this war and took action to bring it to an end. They will say they followed their conscience.

And that will all be true. Along with the fact that, in their own way, they have become the same agents of intolerance that they deplore on the right.

Indeed.
