Pelosi’s words

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has determined that any persons opposing the House and Senate pushing through health care reform or opposing uncontrolled government spending by voicing their opinions at town hall meetings are part of a “mob” and “un-American.”

I believe it is time for someone to tell her she is “acting stupidly.”

"Pelosi/Hoyer said, "these [townhall] disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American."

That's a steaming pile of pelosi...

"yawn"-Whimpering

translation: I was set up by someone who knew I would make some stupid, uninformed response. When I was foisted on my own petard, I couldn't just admit I;d been had

Thanks for playing. It was tooo damn easy to set you up.

Whisp, I was hoping for your response. How about another source, like CNN?
--------
PORTLAND, Oregon (CNN) -- As President Bush travels to a series of campaign stops in California on Friday, he leaves behind the aftermath of protest that turned violent on Thursday in Portland, Oregon.

Black-helmeted police in full riot gear fired pepper spray, bean-bag rounds and rubber bullets at hundreds of protesters who filled the streets of Portland on Thursday outside the hotel where Bush attended Republican Sen. Gordon Smith's re-election campaign fund-raiser.

While Bush was inside the Hilton Hotel, the protesters blasted the president on his international policies and the "Healthy Forests Initiative" he announced earlier in the day.

Chanting "Drop Bush, Not Bombs" and carrying signs with messages that included "It's the Economy, Stupid," the crowd of mostly young people occasionally blocked streets and tied up traffic during the afternoon as they made their way from a downtown park to the hotel.

At first policed by officers on horseback and on foot, the protest turned violent with the arrival of police in riot gear.

They arrived when protesters refused to back off a barricade near the hotel. The protesters pounded on police cars and shouted, and police responded with batons, pepper spray and "non-lethal" ammunition.
-------
But nah, that was just a Fox made up story. The best thing was a Republican response, as opposed to calling the protesters "thugs or un american" ala Pelosi:
--------
(same CNN story)
Former Republican Sen. Mark Hatfield, blocked for a short time from entering the hotel for the Smith fund-raiser, said the protesters have a right to express their viewpoint.
--------
Too bad Democratic leadership won't extend those same rights to peaceful protests against Obamacare. And Whisp, shame on you for attacking the source before you sought verification.

I thought some of this sounded "familure". . .

"Mommy!! Don't spank me Mommy, Bobby hit me first!!!"

The cut-n-paste job below is a Bill Sammon "analysis" piece from ... drum roll ... FOX News.

I thought some of this sounded familure. . .

News outlets that are focusing on the incendiary rhetoric of conservatives outside President Obama's town hall meeting Tuesday ignored the incendiary rhetoric -- and even violence -- of liberals outside an appearance by former President George W. Bush in 2002.

When Bush visited Portland, Ore., for a fundraiser, protesters stalked his motorcade, assailed his limousine and stoned a car containing his advisers. Chanting "Bush is a terrorist!", the demonstrators bullied passers-by, including gay softball players and a wheelchair-bound grandfather with multiple sclerosis.

One protester even brandished a sign that seemed to advocate Bush's assassination. The man held a large photo of Bush that had been doctored to show a gun barrel pressed against his temple.

"BUSH: WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE," read the placard, which had an X over the word "ALIVE."

Another poster showed Bush's face with the words: "F--- YOU, MOTHERF---ER!"

A third sign urged motorists to "HONK IF YOU HATE BUSH." A fourth declared: "CHRISTIAN FASCISM," with a swastika in place of the letter S in each word.

And that was without a radical and unworkable health care proposal in play.

Stay classy, Libs!

[Keith Williams3]

Oh and Pelosi is a nut job too! I hope Obama and biden stay healty!

[Keith Williams3]

Back and fourth trickery and uncouth politics, never going to change and has been this way, way before Obama. Stop the blame game Dems and Pubs and do something about the situation.

And finally, there was this lunatic ...

... I also heard him interviewed on the radio the other night. So, the Brownshirts include militia freaks. Who'd have thought that!?

Here's a nice tea-bagger, Brownshirted thug at work ...

"There were signs comparing President Barack Obama to a Nazi and showing him with an Adolf Hitler-style mustache, but federal officials believe another sign referencing the president and his family went too far.

A man who was holding a sign reading "Death to Obama" Wednesday outside a town hall meeting on health care reform in Hagerstown, Md., has been turned over to the Secret Service.

Washington County Sheriff's Capt. Peter Lazich said the sign also read, "Death to Michelle and her two stupid kids.""

Welcome to the no-fly list, moron.

Push 'em out of the way and move on. Take a lesson from military history, island hop and advance toward Tokyo.

Here's a nice swastika applied to a Georgia congressman's office sign by the Brownshirts ...

"... Pelosi, did say the folks who showed up at the town halls to protest the Obamanation Health Care Plan were "wearing swaztikas" ..."

Actually, Pelosi said the tea-baggers were "carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare."

Not "wearing", carrying.

Nazi paraphernalia is what you'd expect Brownshirts to carry.

[Kansasdog]

I'm confused, I thought it was the folks that were against the Iraq war and warrentless wire-taps that were unamerican.

[jeanette]

I have yet to hear one lib explain why it's wrong for Republicans to use the same "thuggery" the Democrats have used for years.
Libs have been perfecting their skills since the 1968 Democratic convention. They're just angry they're not the only thugs on the block anymore.

It would appear that pelosi's view of disruption has changed:

http://www.breitbart.tv/06-flashback-pelosi-tells-anti-war-protesters-im-a-fan-of-disruptors/

[Pub 17]

And thuggery is called "thuggery."
How does it feel to be supporting thuggery, Roger Dodger you old Codger? How does it feel to watch the party of Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan rise up to support mob violence?
When did Republicans become what they used to say they hated?
How long before the lies and violence make you sick enough to question what the Republican Mind Controllers are feeding you?
Still proud to be a Republican, now that Republicans have become proud of lies and violence?
Still think Obama was born in Kenya?
Still think Obama wants to set up Death Squads?

Just wondering.

[Roger Lambert]

I think it was whispering who argued how effective Nancy was for the libs.

I soooooo hope they keep her around. Average normal people luv it when dissent is called un-American.

[Pub 17]

Dammit, Rouge found us out! He's got positive proof that Obama's real parents were named Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van!

[Kee]

That was a good move on the left to create the "deathers" pretty funny!

I personally want to see an effort to prove that "the One" is really from a dying planet and came to earth.......oh, wait, that's already been done!
