Congress Rejects Naming Post Office for Vermin 

October 9, 2005

Sorry Barbara Lee, but even in your vile Leftist shithole, Berkeley California, you can't name a United States Post Office after a Jew-hating, Communist traitor.  You can name your own house, "Hitler's Haven", or "Mao's Retreat",  but the US Post Office belongs to Americans. 

This from "October 5, "Inside The Beltway": (Note that 190 American congressvermen voted to approve.)

    Maudelle Shirek won't get her post office after all.
    Ask a majority of congressmen on Capitol Hill, and they'll tell you the 94-year-old former vice mayor and city council member of Berkeley, Calif., is far too liberal for them to have approved naming Berkeley's U.S. postal facility the "Maudelle Shirek Post Office."
    Such a designation, pushed hard by Rep. Barbara Lee, California Democrat, failed by a vote of 215 to 190.
    So who is Maudelle Shirek, and why is her record so controversial?
    The Republican Study Committee (RSC) calls our attention to past descriptions of Ms. Shirek, including when the San Francisco Chronicle labeled her "a giant in Bay Area leftist circles," who "traveled extensively on political missions, to Palestinian territories in protest of Israeli policies ... Nicaragua and Cuba, where she dined with Fidel Castro."
    Even while pushing 90, she signed an International Action Center petition blasting a newly elected President Bush "and his racist, anti-worker, anti-woman, anti-gay, anti-environment program," which "poses a grave danger to the people and the planet on many fronts."
