I think she's confusing which protesters she's seeing. The ones with the swastikas are on your side, you old bat.

 

[Lucas156]

[CarmelHP]

Gotta turn it up to 11 every time don't they.

Well, I'm just glad that there's no trying to garner votes based on fear and that there is no vitriol, just hopefulness from the left.

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

I understand when idiots like me carry on on web forums and make some goofy comments, but this is the speaker of the house!
You, common folk, are astroturf, not grass roots. What an arrogant remark!!! Who votes for people like this?! The good people of California need to wake up and defend their turf, artificial or not from the elitists that apparently know what's better for you than yourself.

Tea Party-bashers gone wild

This is both sad and funny.

Tea Party-bashers gone wild

The activist Left can’t stand competition. Last week in Long Island, NY, opponents of the Democrats’ government health care takeover legislation outnumbered Obama supporters ten to one. The Tea Party activists toted American flags and signs that read “WE CAN’T AFFORD FREE HEALTH CARE” – prompting one foe to stalk into the peaceful crowd, gesticulate wildly, and shout unintelligible threats at the top of his lungs.
The same Democrat Masters of Astroturf who encouraged their followers to use “in your face” tactics during the campaign season now balk at vocal opposition from their fiscally conservative neighbors and co-workers. Obama’s architects of Kabuki town halls have packed public forums with partisan plants. Now, they accuse opponents gathering at impromptu rallies against the massive health care takeover legislation (which no one has read) of orchestrating “manufactured anger.”
Unaccustomed to pushback, the wealthy, astro-turfed ground troops for Obamacare – underwritten by unions, liberal philanthropists, the AARP, ACORN, and your tax dollars — have resorted to projection. As I’ve reported previously, the single-payer lobby boasts a $40 million budget and a stable of seasoned political operatives based at 1825 K Street in Washington, D.C. Now, that cabal is accusing the broad coalition of taxpayer activists, libertarians, independents, talk radio loyalists, bloggers, and first-time protesters against socialized medicine of being, yes, wealthy and astroturfed.
In a comical missive issued Tuesday afternoon, Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse complained: “The Republicans and their allied groups — desperate after losing two consecutive elections and every major policy fight on Capitol Hill — are inciting angry mobs of a small number of rabid right wing extremists funded by K Street Lobbyists to disrupt thoughtful discussions about the future of health care in America taking place in Congressional Districts across the country.”
The DNC definition of “thoughtful:” Sitting silent about the lack of transparency, deliberation, truth in numbers, and reciprocity on the Obamacare plan. The DNC definition of incitement: Asking out loud, “How can you manage health care when you can’t manage Cash For Clunkers?”
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, apparently oblivious to the dozens of well-dressed and well-heeled former lobbyists and influence peddlers employed by his own boss, derided health care town hall protesters as the “Brooks Brothers brigade.” Brooks Brothers was also the president’s clothes designer of choice on Inauguration Day. He taunted: “I hope people will take a jaundiced eye to what is clearly the AstroTurf nature of so-called grass-roots lobbying.” Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dispatched a memo obtained by D.C.-based newspaper Human Events assuring Democrats of “close coordination” with faux grass-roots groups “including but not limited to HCAN, Families USA, AFSCME, SEIU, AARP, etc.”
But never mind all that.
Some panicked congressional targets of the Tea Party movement have responded by shutting their offices, closing their blinds, and shooing pesky constituents off public property. The White House health czar’s office is mustering up Internet snitches to report “inaccurate” blog posts and “casual conversations” from health care opponents. And liberal bloggers and cable yakkers are waging their own war on the Tea Party movement by redefining participatory democracy as “thuggery” and “hooliganism.”
Talking Points Memo blogger Josh Marshall bemoaned a fiscal conservative activist’s memo offering advice on how to “pack the hall..spread out” and challenge a politician early “to rattle him, get him off his prepared script and agenda.” Horrors! “This amounts to a sort of civic vigilanteism,” Marshall fretted.
No, showing up at a congressional town hall and booing a talking points-programmed political hack isn’t “civic vigilantism.” Throwing rocks, pouring cement on train tracks, blocking military shipments, smashing windows, hurling paint, slashing tires, vandalizing businesses, and throwing shoes are vigilante acts.
That is what the anti-war, anti-free trade, anti-Bush mobsters did over the last eight years – and there wasn’t a peep about those brute tactics from Obama’s blogging pals.
They sat quietly while Code Pink disrupted hearings on the Hill and harassed Marine recruiters.
They looked the other way when ACORN illegally broke into homes and stormed foreclosure auctions.
They gave their tacit approval to self-declared “bank terrorists” like Boston housing entitlement organizer Bruce Marks, who show up at the schools of bank executives’ children and bullies them because of their parents’ employment in the name of social justice.
Now, the taxpayers footing the bill for Obama’s redistribution of health and wealth are silent no more – and the unhinged Left is beside itself. The “thoughtful” left-wing response to the Tea Party counterinsurgency can best be summed up by hysterical Hollywood actress Janeane Garafolo, who railed last week: “F**ng redneck d**chebaggery. Unmitigated d**chebaggery.”
It’s not the town halls that have gone wild. It’s the Tea Party-bashers who can’t tolerate peaceful, open dissent.

She does not know history, the poor woman. She forgot that Nazi stands for National Socialist, so in a way.........she's trying to BRING the protesters over to the new 2009 version of the Nazi party.

 

[SC_Shooter]

What should be most concerning of all about comments like these is that Pelosi was chosen and supported at the polls by the majority of the Californians who turned out to vote. Yikes! Until there are much stronger alternative candidates, she's likely to stay there because the ones who voted her in are 'idealists' and not 'realists.'

It is very hard for them to admit that their ideals could be wrong and to steer in a different direction. After all, of the people you know who own their mistakes and take action to correct them, how many are liberal and how many are conservative in their beliefs?

 

[Fletch]

when are they gonna vote this kook out?

She represents San Francisco. Short answer: she'll die in office.

 

[Joe Williams]

She represents San Francisco. Short answer: she'll die in office.

That fact makes her the living, breathing example of the reason it is probably already impossible for this to remain one united country.

 

[techres]

Well, I'm just glad that there's no trying to garner votes based on fear and that there is no vitriol, just hopefulness from the left.

You assume that my "they" was about the left exclusively. It is not. In this case it it the left, but give it ten minutes and the next one may or may not be. 11 just seems to be where all discussions have to take place as of late.

 

[Fletch]

I for one spend a lot of time hoping for the Balkanization of the USA.

 

[Joe Williams]

I for one spend a lot of time hoping for the Balkanization of the USA.

I don't hope for it. It means the end of our prosperity, the end of freedom for a lot of people. It means the end of the American dream. I dread it.

But I think it's inevitable, and only a couple years away. It would be nice if our Republic could last long enough to be more than a small footnote in history, though.

 

[Fletch]

I don't hope for it. It means the end of our prosperity, the end of freedom for a lot of people. It means the end of the American dream.

I disagree, but we're getting off-topic. Might as well stop now before the threadjack police show up.

 

[Jubbie]

I'm thinking Pelosi is spending too much time with "Foot-in-Mouth" Biden.
