Published since 2005. San Francisco is a city that belongs to the people of the world. Hence this blog has a global focus. The name "Sam Spade's San Francisco" refers to an exciting era in the City's history, the time of Dashiell Hammett's fictional gumshoe and San Francisco character, Sam Spade. My name is Tom Dunn and I edit the blog. I'm not as exciting as Sam Spade, but I am definitely a San Francisco character.Contact or on Twitter -- Search blog below.

Keith Olbermann: Man of the Hour
It's easy to distance ourselves here in San Francisco from the politics of Washington, DC or the rantings and ravings of those publicly panicky Republicans because we don't have any (or many) GOP's in The City.
But That doesn't mean that we are safe. That half-wit George "Stay-the-Course" Bush is bringing the entire world to the brink of a world-wide civil war. Muslim extremists are launching into a terrorist war that will bring bombings, murder and mayhem to the world's greatest cities. The war is rapidly expanding out of Iraq to Paris, London, Madrid, New York and ... who's next? This clearly impacts San Francisco, the No. 1 top tourist destination in the United States and No. 2 (behind Sydney, Australia) in the world! (Read the story here).
Now, the Republican Party is repeating the tactics of the Lyndon Johnson campaign when the GOP aired a soundly-criticized political ad on TV showing the mushroom cloud of an atomic bomb - scare tactics. Isn't the scare tactic the principal weapon of terrorists? Don't terrorists really want to terrify you with the thought of death and disaster? As Olbermann suggests, the key to terrorism is not the act, but fear of the act. If the GOP is airing scare tactic commercials, doesn't that make the Republican Party a terrorist organization?
The Muslim extremists have a new and powerful advertising agency: the Republican Party in the United States.
Wow! What a sad set of circumstances create the need for a statement like that.
Damn those Republican bastards.
The Man of the Hour is Keith Olbermann, host of MSNBC's Countdown. Last night I became quite animated as I watched Olbermann's broadcast,Special Comment: Advertising Terrorism: the key to terrorism is not the act - but the fear of the act.
I highly recommend Keith Olbermann's report which may be seen in video here.

I followed the link and watched the video. Powerful! And also very scary.
The Republicans have great timing. Just before Halloween the Republican National Committee (RNC) airs a commercial which shows us video clips of Osama bin Laden. It's a form of political trick-or-treat. If we don't give the Republicans the treats they want, they will trick us (again).
The only problem is that everybody in America knows what kind of tricks the Republicans play on us and we DON'T WANT THOSE REPUBLICAN TRICKSTERS IN OFFICE ANYMORE!
