Via Huffington Post:

San Francisco may be the greenest city in the nation, but some residents have a funny way of showing their appreciation.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I am sure they hired a green certified refuse removal company and paid for some carbon offsets too.

And then there is the "rest of the story"

SFist's photos of a messier-than-usual aftermath at Fort Mason last Saturday got the right wingers frothing at the mouth, apparently. After the story was picked up by the Huffington Post, conservative bloggers from the Gateway Pundit and Fox Nation seized the opportunity to repurpose a couple photos along with an entirely fabricated story pinning the blame on Earth Day partiers and "Green Activists."

To set the record straight here, the people partying on Fort Mason Green last Saturday would hardly identify themselves as part of any particular group that promoted anything other than getting drunk on cheap beer. There was no organized Earth Day celebration, and (perhaps more to the point) the partying occurred on April 21st. Which would be the day before Earth Day, for those keeping score at home.

Way to kill a (duplicate) thread with the real story Archer. :wink:

Since the story is obviuosly a pile of crap, why would Fox News feel the need to dump on a conservationist movement like Earth Day? Is Earth Day now a partisan issue?

For those of you screaming about greenies and tree huggers, have you EVER attended an Earth Day event? What would you label groups like Trout Unlimited or Jefferson Conservation District?

They did. That next morning prior to the Earth Day activities.

But you have absolutely nothing to say about the complete fabrication of this story by the media?

Actually I have heard two differing excuse spinning stories so I am very sceptical that either one is accurate.

Well then at least we can chalk the Huffrag up as a faux news site that only flaming dumba$$ liberals could believe.

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy
