Pelosi, Who Once Accused Health Care Protesters Of “Carrying Swastikas”, Worried About Angry Debate
Gee, Nancy, do you think the protesters might be angry because you’ve been comparing them to Nazis? For doing nothing other than expressing their displeasure with a policy you support?
Nancy apparently even got a little teary-eyed during her performance of faux-concern:
WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that the anti-government rhetoric over President Barack Obama’s health care reform effort is concerning because it reminds her of the violent debate over gay rights that roiled San Francisco in the 1970s.
Anyone voicing hateful or violent rhetoric, she told reporters, must take responsibility for the results.
“I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw this myself in the late ’70s in San Francisco,” Pelosi said, suddenly speaking quietly. “This kind of rhetoric was very frightening” and created a climate in which violence took place, she said.
What a bunch of baloney. Grandma Nancy is oh-so-frightened about elderly people giving their elected representatives what-for at town halls. She’s scared by tea party protesters marching on Washington. Of course, there have been a lot of marches on Washington.
Why, suddenly, are these protests and these marches scary and hateful and illegitimate? Why, because Rep. Pantsuit doesn’t agree with them.
And that’s how it works. Liberal dissent is noble and patriotic. Conservative dissent is angry and hateful and motivated by bigotry.
That’s the narrative the liberals and their mouthpieces in the media have agreed upon.
