TPMtv: A Chat with Gavin Newsom

[WomanforPeaceSanity]

Gavin is wonderful! He is a true Progressive with compassion and concern for all people!

[Chelsea4President]

Why do you seek to downgrade the injustice against gays as a "minor injustice", one incomparable to the struggle of blacks? What is the benefit of such distinctions? Do you believe in equality, or do you favor selective equality, where gays are still disadvantaged when compared to other minorities?

Whether you are black, Jewish, crippled, mentally handicapped or gay, why should there be ANY difference made when granting equality to all citizens? You are for equality or against it.

[YOURpervertexposer]

@Chelsea4President

HEY STUPID! I (nor any other disabled person) gets a crippling disease from a chosen "behavior?"

Black Babies in the womb aren't given a multiple choice of what color they want to be.

Mentally challenged people don't arrive in their condition because they chose to go have endless sexual encounters with anyone.

PEOPLE, GET IT IN YOUR HEAD. THERE IS NOT A SHRED OF RESEARCH THAT SHOWS homosexuality is genetic, despite them spending TRILLIONS of your PAYCHECK dollars to find it.

[JermzzzyFTW]

@Chelsea4President I agree. EVERY minority group has gone through struggles, why is that of blacks made out to be so signifigant? In fact gays have been persecuted for FAR longer than African Americans because AAs only came to America a few centuries ago while gays have existed since the begining of humanity. Both are civil rights issues, one is merely in the present.

[Wycilf]

if ur reading this and bored N

[rakrobn]

Gavin is so hunky!

[rodthepimp]

that's what his best friends wife thought too

[rtbstone]

yeah, land of nuts and the fact was the mayor

fuck a lots of Franciscan holes!!!!

[quest8899]

San Francisco is an awesome city. One of the most open minded places to live in this country. Hopefully all cities will model San Francisco stance on politics.

[YOURpervertexposer]

@quest8899

What's awesome about having to avoid letting your kids walk on the ground, while you walk the streets due to the plethora and unknown whereabouts of the remnants of homosexuals "being themselves?"

It is a FACT, (thanks to the San Fran's "open mindedness") homosexuals are leaving all their body fluids and deification in the streets. The perverts can say it isn't so; fortunately, we have plenty of video and still pics of them doing EXACTLY THAT. PARENTS AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!

[lucypunch]

Newsom you scum bag! You went to the funeral of the widow, whose family was gunned down by illegal alien gangbangers. You didn't even speak to the grieving widow!

Fuck that cunt Pelosi as well!

Leftwing hippie scum your time is coming to an end!

[8data]

yeah, and you really offered great consolation

Newsom is a great guy!

[8data]

green economy give billions of dollars you give nothing

[phineastbuster]

It is interesting that Mayor Newson will be interviewed with this reporter, who by the way, asks question the Mayor could have written. The Mayor however, won't speak to several mainstream media people like Ch. 7 TV that ask him tough questions like being drunk in public or cheating with the wife of one of his subordinates.

[8data]

youve never been drunx before

then you arent human

so he cheats a little with women, better that he does that then with men lixe the New Jersey guy

[phineastbuster]

8data: I have been drunk twice but never in public. I guess boys will be boys but I wouldn't bet that he hasn't "gone to the other side" once or twice.

[tpfahler]

Everyone that disagrees with me is a total idiot. Don't you people get! You are all stupid and I know everything there is to know. I hate you, you all deserve to be bombed back to the stone age!! Everyone is so stupid...open your eyes fools!!!! I am right and you are worse than wrong...you are evil if you don't see what I'm saying.

[MJD1701A]

California deserves what it gets. When you vote in people like this well what can you expect. Strange how bad, expensive, anti-people ideas are always picked up by these type of politicians.

[beonewithyuri]

Gavin Newsom is dope

[8data]

he met with Van Jones

they are going to join forces to create more opportunities for the future of green america

[buggy056]

This Mayor is a fucking asshole.He is a silverspooned cocksucker who wants to open the border for more votes. Oswalt please make a cum back. Eat green shit mother fucker. May 9-11 visit you soon.

[sfvcubster]

Gavin Newsom is SOO dreamy/looks like he's a real man's man ++ totally metrosexual/environmentally conscious without being all pretentious and ghey. I wanna have an orgy with him, Al Gore and a bunch of kute AZNs. (does any one else on here read hipster runoff?)

[paravioleta]

who are you ignorant creeps? I am proud of san francisco-except for Gavin Newsom who does nothing for the poor and working families. It's all about yuppies and developers. Anything that happens in San Francisco for poor people happens despite Newsom.

BY THE WAY- YOU CREEPS WHINING OUT THERE-WE BEG YOU, STAY AWAY! Don't come here with your polluted minds.....

[8data]

try and put yourself in his shoes for one day

and listen to people complaining

all day long

not an easy job

[HotLeper]

His mannerisms, the swerving, the lip biting, the touching, all seem very flamboyant.

[8data]

well, at least hes in touch!

[numba1stunna4269]

Fuck San Francisco. Any gov. official harboring illegal aliens should be deported along with the illegal immigrants.

[paravioleta]

Just what Hitler's policy was with hiding Jews (illegals in their own country). stay home we don't want you in SF.

[numba1stunna4269]

I wouldn't go to a God forsaken place like SF if you paid me.

[EvyZB]

And we wouldn't want your narrow minded self either! Gavin Newsom isn't perfect but he is better than most politicians. He's more a doer than just a talker. AND he's a damn good radio host. Just listen to Green 960.

[8data]

Hes a great Mayor, he loves women a little too much, but hey, at least its a good reversal for SFs reputation

Hes inspiring and I hope he can bring green machine to Sf city and county!! Go Gavin!!

[phineastbuster]

8data: Newsome is inspiring all right. He has inspired the rest of the nation to consider SF the land of the nuts.

[8data]

most innovative place of america

[phineastbuster]

8data: SF is the most beautiful city in the country but sadly, it correctly is called the land of the nuts.

[barfood2]

They said he was getting married this weekend, is he the bride or groom

[heatsketch]

Gavin Newsom is a dirty faggot who sucks 20 dicks every day

[texasofmyheart]

lol, 20 dicks a day?

[heatsketch]

maybe more

[texasofmyheart]

lol.

[jarvis1211]

What a d-bag...

[lutermark]

Once Obama is in there will be no minority community any longer.

[ATGhasaposse]

San Franciscans put their city before the good of the nation.

People are embarrassed to be from SanFran because of the way the liberal extremists have ruled there.

[Verlch]

Since most social pathologies can be traced to single mother households, why don't they focus on that?

85% of hookers, strippers, gangsters, and criminals come from single mother households.

Down with socialism, and feminism.

[camipco]

Easily 85% of crimes are committed by men. Why don't we just get rid of them?

[Verlch]

Yeah, most of which are from single mother households. So, let's get rid of single mother households.

And without men, the world would fall apart in a nanosecond. Who will mine, keep the lights on, provide the food, who will dig the ditches, get the gas, etc.

Without man's achievements we would still be living in highly organized caves.

[8data]

Man Up!

[computerpurple]

Betcha he's got a LOT of skeletons in his... closet.He comes across to me as a shady politican.

[8data]

which politician is not shady

oh yes, dennis xucinich

the only one

[karen32862]

Such a good mood for a man who is responsible for the murder of a family. Good thing he is focusing on those windmills and corn crops for energy while illegal alians run amock in his town. Way to get your priorities set there gav. And the balls he has to talk about social justice. Here is some social justice. How about his wedding shot up by one of those illegal murderers he shelters. Now that is social justice.

[FrankCastlez]

The leadership liberals are vicious Stalinists, but most liberals are just a bunch of dupes, living meaningless lives, wanting to matter, and buying into this notion that their stupid cell phone charger is destroying the planet

[renatazettek]

His ego is bigger than the city he is suppose to protect.NOsama should have Gavin as his running mat.They'd make perfect bed fellows.They both have HUGE ego's and don't respect human life.Gavin talks so much becuz he is in love with himself.

[louiethefish51]

Blah Blah Blah... yadda yadda yadda... the once great city of San Francisco is of no interest to this guy.

[pimpdalyrical]

This douche bag, in Austin. Wow, any more signs of the apocalypse coming up?

[NoGuff]

Nutroots.

He should be back in San Francisco, at his office, taking care of WORK.

[moveonpolitics]

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND YOUR NEW BRIDE:

Since you are Catholic, please let us know what Catholic Church will marry you. Walking out on your first wife and then having an affair with a married women makes you a real find but not married in the church.

[cwp91206]

Newsom is so totally, absolutely full of shit.

[luvguins]

CA needs a progressive energy agenda.

[gismotech]

newsom is an idiot and a lunatic

[3Haydens]

We're giving taxpayer incentive if you ONLY hire illegal aliens who YOUR tax dollars have trained to undercut your wages and further rip you off by providing EVERY social service known to man to these same illegals and their MYRIAD anchor babies. You don't like it? We'll sic an MS13 gang banger on your ass. We have hundreds of them who we have allowed to fall through the cracks and "escape" from the criminal justice system.

[1001BG]

Gavin Newsom is a slimeball. This clown should be resign for failing to protect his own city's people. Shame on him and the city's council.

[moviemanacct]

i work in this shithole and let me tell you.

OVER priced homes, piss and shit everywhere, bums everywhere, illegals can kill and get away with it, gavin fucks his best friends girl, gays get more rights than you here. it's a mess here man, and I'm sad that i ever came to this dump. it's NOT the culinary and art scene that it says it is. seriosly, this place is nasty. can't wait to leave

[paravioleta]

yes moviemanacct I can see you are a sensitive person devoted to the intellectual and aesthetic life and no doubt a person of great moral and ethical values.

I say shoot those street people, stick them underground and open up some more gourmet restaurants-MAN YA KNOW...

 I have lived here 30 years and love it except for cretins like you and G Newsom. Pack up and go-sooner the better

[moviemanacct]

I'm sure... Excelsior? If you didn't you would know something other than your vulgar thug language. That's the only language spoken in some parts, you know what I'm talking about because it's sums up your life you jackass bum. San Francisco survives off of cheap labor like yourself

[paravioleta]

ps-you fucking idiot-the reasons home are overpriced is because real estate people and developers fought off rent control for 20 years (Gavin's people).

If you're too stupid yo know who is up your ass then get on the next plane PLEASE

[moviemanacct]

KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT DIPSHIT! If you're too stupid to accept responsibility for your fucked up psueodo-socialist politics you deserve the shit you wallow in hipster junkie piece of shit. choke on a fucking dick!

[queequegscoffin]

San Fran is a bucket of filth. The lack of morals and justice is truly frightening. Talk about a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. Of course I am generalizing a bit, I am quite sure there are decent folks living there that are beside themselves with disgust.

[ActionForAmerica]

Newsom is an obsructor of justice. He breaks federal laws (illegal) to protect criminals in order to make him feel good about himself. And David, you have no talent. All you do is kiss ass like the good water boy you are, get a life.

[windycityrose]

Another great TPMtv production.

[Josephdorf03]

This guy rocks. I'm proud to live in the bay!

[soulsearcher99]

Gavin Newsom is a great Mayor. He actually listened to a heckler and listened to him to better his policies. Talk about a leader that listens.

[Cindi3847]

I respect someone who wants their leaders to listen to both sides. I commend your philosophy.

Unfortunately Mayor Newsom had to listen to the poor woman who had her two sons and husband murdered after the fact, because of his sanctuary city policies. Mayor Newsom is complicit.

[fubar28]

i hear carly fiorina is also running for governor of cali.

newsom vs fiorina, that sounds like a very interesting race, don't you think?

[flavourdan]

Fiorina would mess up CA just like she messed up HP.

[EvyZB]

Oh let her go be McCain's running mate, that way he will hopefully lose and we will have logic once again in the the White House. We need Dem's back in to get us back on the track to a better economy. George Bust Admin sucked us down a huge hole we may not get out. And we definitely won't get out if we vote in McCain.

[SwobyJ]

CALIFORNIA USES MORE GAS THAN ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, obviously including China (according to the Wired blog)... I don't trust this man :S

[Josephdorf03]

Do you think he tells people to drive Hummers? Does he support co2 emission laws because he loves global warming?

[SwobyJ]

I think you miss my point; (so far) he gives the impression to me of 'all talk, behind the scenes action'. I won't trust him on his words as long as California is how it is, but I'll give him a chance.

Thanks for those thumbs down people :P

[dj99surf]

Mayor Newsom is awesome!

[Skippy8984]

I'm glad to see someone in office that has this kind of a green initiative ... it really gives me hope.

[JoeFelice]

Wow, it's rare to see someone on the left so unwilling to compromise his principles for personal advancement.

[brawnymike]

JoeFelice,

It's rare to see ANY politician "so unwilling to compromise his principles for personal advancement". Your implication (that all left-wing politicians are panderers and all right-wing politicians are principled) has no basis in the real world, where John McCain is King of the PanderBears.

[JoeFelice]

brawnymike, I see more Republicans who are fearless gay-bashers and immigrant-bashers and corporate toadies even when it could get in the way of their future potential.

Admittedly, it doesn't get in the way as much on the other side; nonetheless, Newsom uses activist terminology that I'm not used to hearing from officials, and he is unapologetic on gay marriage, and it feels great to hear that.

[joeycole96]

he does talk to fast

[QuartuvLarry]

Fast talkers are usually practiced liars

[camipco]

He's not a fast talker. You're just a slow thinker.

[QuartuvLarry]

Don't you get tired of dealing with freethinkers who just won't stay inside the socialist box?

[ShiZm0]

his green issues were FANTASTIC. but the universal pre-k, schools, and health care is just too much from the government to support in such bad economic times.

[bigbalko]

look at it as inner us investments. that's the good thing about health care, schools and big parts of green economy, it is mostly domestic.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Now THAT's a progressive leader.

[1001BG]

Gavin Newsom is slime. He should resign for failing to protect his own people. Face it, the city he runs is already going down the toilet, oh nevermind, it's already in the sewer.

[JermzzzyFTW]

@SubmarinerAndroid Put's Obama to f*cking shame xD

[BrownstoneWalkUp]

He seems very engaging.

[emptyavoid]

Too bad he does very little as mayor.

[sac2ase1]

GooD oNe Man...

[JohnRaytheon]

thats like ernie interviewing bert

Zzzz

thx for nuthin' veracifier

[memnoker]

Yeah, you wouldn't like it anyway because you hate the left.

[JohnRaytheon]

I dont hate the left but I do dislike the far-left

[44MONTEREY]

Sure talks fast. Did he say anything?

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Try listening next time.

[minizer999]

The poor stay winning :-[
