San Francisco Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin echoed his support for Speaker Nancy Pelosi in her reelection bid yesterday and took aim at Cindy Sheehan’s grassroots campaign alleging Sheehan’s outsider status does not qualify her to represent San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Sheehan, whose son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in April 2004, attracted international attention when she setup “Camp Casey” in 2005 outside President George Bush’ ranch in Crawford, Texas, demanding the president meet with her to explain the cause for which her son died.<\/p>\n

Sheehan later set up domicile in San Francisco in December 2007 vowing to dethrone Pelosi for taking impeachment proceedings\u00c2\u00a0against Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney “off the table.”<\/p>\n

“I respect Cindy Sheehan for what she has done for the peace movement and it has been profound and she’s played a remarkable role in American politics,” Peskin said, “but not to the detriment of the power that Northern California and liberals have in the United States Congress, and I don’t think we should trade that.”<\/p>\n

“She’s the Ed Jew of San Francisco politics,” Peskin added, referring to the former District 4 supervisor who is alleged to have not lived in the district he once represented.<\/p>\n

Peskin made the comments during a meeting of the Harvey Milk Democratic Club which had reconvened to reconsider its endorsement for the 8th congressional seat.\u00c2\u00a0The revote resulted in Nancy Pelosi maintaining the club’s endorsement by a 2-1 margin.<\/p>\n

Though Peskin said he does not agree with Pelosi’s voting record on funding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, he said “on balance, [Pelosi] represents the most fundamental values of San Francisco.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
