Maria Alonso and Sarah Silverman--Stark Contrasts

Maria Alonso and Sarah Silverman--Stark Contrasts

 
Cuban-Venezuelan actress Maria Concheta Alonso was set to perform next month at the Brava Theater Center in San Francisco’s Mission District in a Spanish-language version of “The Vagina Monologues,” a show produced by Eliana Lopez, the once-estranged, now-loving wife of San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi.

A little background on the principals is in order here.

Two years ago, the sheriff, co-founder of the Green Party of California, was charged with domestic violence battery, child endangerment, and intimidating a witness relating to a fight he had had with Ms. Lopez.  Mirkarimi was generously allowed to plead guilty to a single misdemeanor count of false imprisonment, was suspended by Mayor Ed Lee, barred from contacting Lopez, and nine months later was reinstated by minority vote of an empathetic San Francisco Board of Supervisors. 

Mirkarimi and his wife share a lack of class.

Months after emigrating to the United States, Venezuelan telenova star Eliana Lopez waxed eloquent on her blog about her dreams for a simpler life as a wife and mother living in the “beautiful and avant-garde city [Frisco] where millions of interesting people make things happen every day.”  She subsequently wrote that she always tries “to be conscious of my life whenever possible, of what scares me, of what I love and what moves me.”

Two years after that, apparently viscerally scared of Maria Concheta Alonso and what the conservative actress believes, Lopez essentially forced Alonso off her production of “The Vagina Monologues” for hispanics which is scheduled for a 3-day run in February.

Lopez hypocritically stated, “We really cannot have her in the show, unfortunately” while contending Alonso had abruptly  resigned from the cast due to a Latino backlash.  The scared producer added, “Of course she has the right to say whatever she wants.  But we’re in the middle of the Mission.  Doing what she is doing is against what we believe.”

What awful Maria did to so terrify loving Eliana and throw Latinos into paroxysms of terror was to simply exercise her constitutional right to free speech by supporting a conservative candidate for governor of California.

She had the unmitigated gall to appear in a campaign ad for Tea Party favorite Assemblyman Tim Donnelly of San Bernardino County who is on record as making such outrageous and verifiably true statements as, “Politicians and big government are killing our prosperity, pushing welfare costs through the roof and driving our schools into the ground.” 

Bi-sexual, feminist, pro-abortion actress Sarah Silverman has never demonstrated any compunctions against vilifying everything and everyone associated with conservatism or common decency, nor with anyone and everything other than herself. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35353.)
