Pelosi Calls Republicans “Unpatriotic”
Over the years of debating the war in Iraq Democrats were adamant about one thing: They were (and aren’t) unpatriotic for opposing the war. That dissent was the highest form of patriotism. But now Nancy Pelosi is calling Republicans unpatriotic for not bowing to Democrat wishes on finance industry bailouts.
Pelosi’s comments will undoubtedly raise the ire of some Republicans, but I’m willing to bet they don’t get much media attention.
But you can bet that if a Republican called Democrats unpatriotic CNN would be scrambling to run an expose on the coarsening of political speech in America, and the right’s attempts to “chill” free speech rights.
Meanwhile, in Missouri, Obama has recruited prosecutors to threaten legal action against anyone criticizing The One in a manner they find unacceptable.
