Nancy Pelosi Is Bats


crazy as a bedbug, I tell you

If there was ever any doubt that Nancy Pelosi is officially America’s Crazy Aunt, that doubt was eradicated today. In her weekly press briefing some sycophantic reporter lobbed the set up question that seems to be part of the White House’s “hit back” strategy (to make this less ralph-inducing I’d suggest you read it aloud and insert the appropriate lip smacking and slurping noises):

Madam Speaker, in terms of the political tone, the tone of the debate, Hoyer said earlier this week he thought it was the most vitriolic since ’93-’94. And around that time we also saw acts of domestic violence, domestic terrorism. How concerned are you about the tone of the political debate, in terms of people talking about anti-government rhetoric and so on and the possibility of violence?

To which she responded:

Well, I think we all have to take responsibility for our actions and our words. We are a free country, and this balance between freedom and safety is one that we have to carefully balance.

I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw this, myself, in the late ’70s in San Francisco. This kind of rhetoric was very frightening, and it created a climate in which violence took place.

So I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made, so that understanding that some of the people — the ears that it is falling on are not as balanced as the person making the statement might assume.

But, again, our country is great because people can say what they think and they believe. But I also think that they have to take responsibility for any incitement that they may cause.

After noting, that based on the question it would seem that Steny Hoyer’s grasp on reality is fairly tenuous also, one can’t help but observe that 1) this certainly wasn’t the set of rules Pelosi was playing by in 2001-2008 when, by this standard, she actively encouraged the vandalization of ROTC and recruiting offices and the killing of American soldiers in Iraq, 2) there are laws against inciting violence and if she thinks these are being broken she should have the courage to point out the instances, and 3) her interpretation of the entire Moscone-Milk-White episode in San Francisco is just deranged.

Were Pelosi, or for that matter Hoyer, possessed of something that even vaguely resembled a sense of shame they would be locked in a cheap motel room right now with a cellophane bag, a roll of duct tape and a bottle of Muscatel. That the Speaker of the House can equate disagreeing with the horrendous policies of the Democrat party with an incitement to violence only indicates the moral degeneracy of the leadership of that party.

There, finished it for you.

When the Dems took control of Congress after the ’06 elections, I told my conservative co-workers to try and look at this in a positive light. Namely, let Pelosi be Pelosi, sit back, and watch the hilarity ensue.

Frankly, it’s been my experience that when the Democrats are in complete control, be it Federal or state, they’re good at one thing, and one thing only: #@*$ing things up!

You know you’ve reached rock bottom when you’re told you have character flaws by a man who hanged his predecessor in a military coup.

 

Who started this?

Didn’t Pelosi call town hallers nazis and unpatriotic? This may be the nastiest woman on the planet, worse than HRC. As far as I know the only violence has been conducted by the left, finger chomping and SEIU thugs beating up people.
Pe-lousy has to go.

You will be held responsible for any incitement

The fact that there was no trash is why they can deny it even happened.

PELOSI INSULTS AMERICA again

reelman (Diary) Thursday, September 17th at 8:44PM EST (link)

PELOSI…VIOLENCE CRY MAKES ME SICK

SEPT 17.2009…THERE WILL BE BLOOD: PELOSI WARNS OF POLITICAL ‘VIOLENCE’
This baloney is coming from a top leader of the socialist democrat party!
This kooky party recently sent union goons to bite off fingers, to block access, to chant what they were told earlier…..
they allow their thugs with nightsticks to stand at voting entrances…..have a (video) history of filthy-mouthed trashy looking supporters that leave a huge litter mess while flipping off people and making personally vulgar signs having nothing to do with the issues at hand…..
they even hire people to pretend to be conservatives (aka repubs) and do damage!

This democrat party is a criminal enterprise. This party will accuse others of what it does or is about to do as a matter of course.
Its a party that does not read huge bills or allow others time to read them…on purpose. Its a party infested with tax cheats and nepotism.
Its a party with the sole goal of staying in the congress 40+ years to achieve total control over every American.
Its a party that is known for voter fraud and giving America 9 trillion in new debt on its vote-buying spree.
Its a party that will lie about lying then refuse to answer questions about either.

The democrat party has a factual (even filmed) history of ugly violence going back to the late 1960s…when it “was heroic and American” (they said)…..now that millions of voters have finally had enough lying secular socialism…..we get these crocodile tears from the fountainhead of political thugism! They never change and they never blush….because they have no shame and no respect…..its part of the mental disorder we call modern liberalism.

The fringe media cannot change their full diapers any longer……the game is up…..many millions are no longer fooled by either.

The larger point tho, is that political discourse in this country has devolved into shouting matches, and that isn’t good for anyone.

Careful, reasoned argument has been replaced with volume.

We used to get William F. Buckley Vs Gore Vidal debating on television. Now we get Ann Coulter Vs. Bill Maher.

I also think that pundits on all sides are whipping people into a fervor, and that leads to dangerous places. MSNBC and FOX both look way too much like Network for my tastes.

A call for renewed adherence to fiscal conservatism should carry the day because it is right, not because one shouted it the loudest. How can we expect to change minds except by showing people another (better) way of thinking?

Oh well, flame away.

Are you so dense to believe that Fox bears any resemblance to MSNBC? Have you been asleep under the tree in Sleepy Hollow and been blissfully unaware of the rhetoric coming from the left for the past eight years? Do you really believe that there is no difference between the right and the left when it comes to this sort of thing, and the brain dead “Duhhh…everyone does it….duhhhh” will fly here?

Obama began this thuggish behavior by telling his supporters to “get in their faces” when speaking of how to get his way with the electorate. Then he went on to insult Republican leaders at the White House when they arrived to offer suggestions about the porkulus funds and Obama countered with “I won.” Most statesmanlike, don’t you think? Then his DHS Secretary kindly referred to all of us as domestic terrorists.

When we protested the behavior of this administration politely, we were ignored and ridiculed. When Obama decreed that he “didn’t want to hear from those who caused the mess”, he meant us. He wanted us to sit down and shut up. If we protested, we were nuts, obstructionists, and, by all means let us never forget, RACISTS, RACISTS, RACISTS.

You want to show someone a better way of thinking? Go talk to your buddies who worship at Obama’s clay feet. You can recognize them by their mass-produced signs, their paid-for bus tickets, and union cards. Be careful, though, because if they don’t like what you tell them, they’ll bite off a finger or two, or they’ll beat you until you can’t walk, or they’ll show up at your house to protest. Maybe they’ll even call for death threats against you and your family. But you just hang right in there and finish that lecture about civility. Then trot on back here and let us know how it went.

nessa (Diary) Thursday, September 17th at 10:00PM EST (link)

I found some interesting history researching a diary, in addition to the quote I have in my sig, here’s another bit of “inflammatory rhetoric”…

“Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First his Cromwell and George the Third…” At that point he was interrupted by cries of “Treason!” from delegates who easily recognized the reference to assassinated leaders. Henry paused briefly, and then calmly finished his sentence: “…may profit by their example. If this be treason, make the most of it.”

Today it would have to be, “if this be hate speech, make the most of it!” Calm and reasoned? Yes, inflamatory? You’re damned right it is, passion inflames the soul.

“If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams

Warrior (Diary) Friday, September 18th at 9:59AM EST (link)

Yeah, and it started with the neo-communist protesters of the 60′s, most of whom were Bill Clinton clones trying to save their skins.

Remember, whereas in its’ heyday, the left could summon 500K to an “anti-war” rally (read, “I’m a coward and don’t want to go to Vietnam” rally,) when the draft ended they could barely get 500 people to one of their stupid, but violent crybaby sessions.

I guess the only violence the Pelosi crowd endorses is when no one is shooting (or arguing) back at them.

your larger point is not all that correct

streiff (Diary) Friday, September 18th at 10:23AM EST (link)

historically, political dialogue in this nation has been rough and tumble. Andrew Jackson’s wife was an adulteress, Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings, Grover Cleveland and his bastard, and on and on.

My gosh, Preston Brooks delivered his hickory chastisement to Charles Sumner in the Senate chamber.

This alleged civility is a fairly new development and curiously enough, only surfaces when Democrats are in the White House.

You may not win the argument my shouting the loudest, but you can’t win if you won’t shout at all.

“What keeps me here is the reek of beer, the ladies and the craic”

I am a retread originally known as tbeauchamp. (Diary) Friday, September 18th at 2:04PM EST (link)

I especially like, “You may not win the argument my shouting the loudest, but you can’t win if you won’t shout at all.” I think you’re right there.

And just for the record, I don’t have a side. I’m affiliated with no political party, and if Obama hadn’t run, I would have worked for McCain. I loved him in 2000, and was crushed when he didn’t win the primary.

To answer Jack Savages post, yes, I’ve been completely aware of the rhetoric that came from the left for the past 8 years, and I told them to cool it, too.

What worries me about the current political discourse is the “US vs. THEM” meme that both sides exploit to raise funds, and get attendance at rallies. And in that respect, I see little difference between the two ends of the political spectrum.

How I am treated on this site is a great example. I read this site every day. It’s a great resource for me. While I am socially liberal, I am definitely a fiscal conservative. TARP drove me nuts, just as the Obama bailouts did. On a lot of issues, we are in complete agreement. But I volunteered for Obama, so that makes me the enemy. I’m not the enemy. I vote for fiscal conservatives every chance I get. It’s millions of votes like mine national candidates need to win presidential elections.

And I get the same treatment from the left. So yes, Jack, to me, it’s mostly the same.

And I would bet before the 2010 election and the reason is marshall law and the OBAMA Nuts will turn this COUNTRY into a Communist Country and we will be their Slaves we have had more bills passed to constrict our rights in anytime I can remember and thats been quite awhile.
Then they drag Carter out the only thing he ever did right was swing a hammer on Habitat for Humanity.
He was the worst President we have had, and Billy couldn’t make Beer either.
They do nothing but destruct,just like Hitler.
I am telling the people of America that are for individual freedom get prepared.
These people had rather see people starve to death than open water up to Farmers than mess with a Tadpole.
America is scared but the one thing they better realize is Marches are great but these wing nuts will not give back the Country so easily nor will we recover quickly due to their gain for CONTROL and they have no respect from us or the rest of the world and we are losing our allies quickly so we the people will have to fight our battles.

Imagine how great it would have been if the people didn’t get mad when he decided to admit Kansas to the union as a Slave state. I mean come on!!! Why did they have to do all that, and then elect the republican Abraham Lincoln as the next president, in the hope that the previous policies would change? Wouldn’t this country be totally awesome!!!! I mean, we wouldn’t have had to go through that horrible Civil War. After all, no war is worth it. Right?

Obama's plan

They are not trying to save the smelt. They are trying to create a food shortage – you know – like a crisis.

Food prices go up, fuel prices go up, insurance rates go up, electricity goes up, pandemics, shortage of doctors, ………, add to that the unemployment and you get a crisis that only the government can fix. Then all they need is an attack that Obama is hoping will happen before 2010, or maybe already arranged (Joe Biden), and the Progressives/Communists take over. How many more decisions can he make to appear to weaken America itself and make us look weak to others?

It’s all in the plan.

“Speaker Pelosi is right that the American people are upset, but it is her own words that continue to fuel voter frustration in America,” said Sessions, R-Texas. “No longer content with criticizing concerned citizens for being ‘un-American,’ the Speaker is now likening genuine opposition to assassination. Such insulting rhetoric not only undermines the credibility of her office, but it underscores the desperate attempt by her party to divert attention away from a failing agenda. During one of the most important policy debates of our time, the American people have been completely abandoned by those elected representatives under her control. Voters are justifiably frustrated with Washington, and the Speaker’s verbal assault on voters accomplishes nothing other than furthering her reputation for being wildly out of touch with the American people.”

Is she serious???

billyd (Diary) Thursday, September 17th at 10:01PM EST (link)

Is she serious? Is she really that stupid? If her worst fears were imagined, and some crazy right winger did something to President Obama, what would happen? Oh, that’s right… Joe Biden would be president. And if something happened to Joe? Oh, that’s right, Nancy Pelosi would be president. So let me tell you something. Conservatives and other Republicans would take a bullet for Obama in order to keep the other two idiots from becoming president.

Hey Streiff or someone else, what exactly happened with the Moscone-Milk-White incident?

WHY did she make this statement???

Justrand Thursday, September 17th at 10:24PM EST (link)

One of the LARGEST marches in D.C. history. ZERO arrests! ZERO cleanup! ZERO confrontations with ANYBODY!
Yet it is being portrayed like it was KRISTALLNACHT!!!

Step 1 – Clearly identify the people you consider are “encouraging” bad things (Beck, Fox, Rush, TeaParty people, BreitBart, et al)
Step 2 – Warn that “if something BAD happens…people who encouraged the bad thing will have to take responsibility”
Step 3 – Make something “bad” happen (or just wait for ANYTHING to happen…and CALL it “bad”)
Step 4 – Use “emergency powers” to “protect” the people!

Step 1 has been going on for quite some time. The demonization of
EVERYTHING Conservative by DHS, the media, Congress, etc.

Step 2 is happening now…has been for the last few days. But Pelosi’s statement ramps it up considerably!!!!

Step 3 ??????????

Justrand, I think you've nailed it

peg_c (Diary) Friday, September 18th at 6:01AM EST (link)

I think they aren’t just trying to provoke this, I think they WANT it to happen. Just think how it would play into their plans and how they would benefit. Is Obama just a stalking horse for the Dems? Are they trying to throw HIM under the bus or was this planned all along? Definitely worth pondering. I don’t doubt they are crazy but I know they are evil.

Government cannot be the solution when government is the problem.

 

She obviously is not really worried about violence.

4life (Diary) Friday, September 18th at 9:25AM EST (link)

What really worries her is what was expressed by many signs and many people at the DC Tea Party and was beautifully captured by my all time favorite sign of the march:

TIME TO GIVE
DEMOCRATS
END OF CONGRESS
COUNSELING

This is what really is eating at Ms. Pelosi, and rightly so.

The Bitter Frustration

mikedaire Thursday, September 17th at 10:26PM EST (link)

of having control of the government but not of people’s minds drives the Progressives to the brink of madness. We are succeeding where they are failing because of the difference in our perception of the public. We trust the American people to make a reasoned choice when the facts are presented whereas the Progressives will accept no deviation from their preordained choices. It is because of their doctrinaire attitudes that the Progressives will never be able to govern themselves, much less a country, and why November 2010 cannot come fast enough.

You have nailed it. This is the best comment I’ve read here in quite some time, and there tends to be a great many good ones.

Unfortunately, history tells us that when political groups gain power by whatever means necessary and don’t have the people with them, they resort to tactics that range from undemocratic to totalitarian. We certainly have seen the former in attempts to shut down public debate, something the Left claimed Bush tried to do, and then actually tried to do themselves as soon as they got the opportunity.

Psychologists call this behavioral phenomenon projection

mikedaire Friday, September 18th at 1:24PM EST (link)

There are many reasons for it, but usually it is a way to deny responsibility for one’s thoughts by projecting the bad behavior onto others. Most often this phenomenon is accompanied by personality defects like Borderline Personality Disorder.

The majority of Progressives that I have met seem to fit that behavior pattern. So you’re right. If you want to know what they are planning to do, just listen to their accusations. They are projecting their thoughts and desires onto others. That’s why Progressives are the first to pull out things like the race card, because they harbor deep seated racist attitudes but can’t admit it to themselves, so they project those attitudes onto people that disagree with them.

What about Ken Gladney—-who was beaten up in St Louis by SEIU thugs who were following Obama’s orders to “hit back twice as hard” and why haven’t they arrested that finger biter thug?

 

Perhaps she wanted us to feel insulted.

Steph C (Diary) Friday, September 18th at 7:36AM EST (link)

That way we wouldn’t see the threat. All things considered, I took it more as a threat than an insult because almost all of the violence has been committed by the left.

A fear or an assertion?

southcoast Friday, September 18th at 9:14AM EST (link)

Listening to Nancy make her lame connection between violent gays and Americans demonstrating to assert their rights affirmed once again just how out of touch this woman really is. This is a woman who from the abnormality of San Francisco judges the normality of America. It also made me wonder if she was just not postulating but was instead suggesting action to certain parties susceptible to suggestion. Recall she is part of a group who have a history of not just protesting violently, but also inciting violence. So, as new rounds of the tea parties continue, we must be mindful and vigilant for those individuals who would seek to subvert reasoned protest and provoke violence as a means of creating publicity. The Lyndon LaRouche group is a good example of democrats who are prone to such activities. Nancy and her ilk are threatened by reasoned opposition and seek to draw such opposition into the mud pen in which she resides and is comfortable. Fast forward to a time when her people (SEIU, ACORN and other DNC proxies) have incited violence with the complicit propagandizing of the legacy media and we will be treated to the performance of the scolding grandma admonishing us for not behaving the way she wanted and that she and her ilk must now take action to correct matters.
WE need to stay angry but we must concurrently remain resolute and restrained. We must maintain this restrained, resolute anger right up to the elections next year. We must remind those around us not to forget he loss and damage incurred by the democrats and 0bama sine they came to power in 2007.

There's a Method to Her Batness....

furious (Diary) Friday, September 18th at 10:38AM EST (link)

…Pelosi and posse are trying to “shape the battlespace”, a phrase I first heard Kowalski use.

Pelosi warns about violence, violence occurs (doesn’t matter the perpetrator or the circumstance), Pelosi says “See, I warned you.” Lapdog legacy media dutifully report on the violence using “On-the-one-hand-one-the-other” prose, adding “as predicted by some” and playing “hide-the-ball” with “name-that-party”.

Me, having a nasty, suspicious mind, I’d say Pelosi’ words were the launch codes to the SEIU goons, BlackBloc Balaclava kids and other professional flash mobs that “it’s on!”.

The batsh*t loons get in the first punch, and the legacy media only notice when the Righteous respond in self-defense (see “Civility”). Thus are our hands tied.

She Hasn't Seen Angry Yet.

pro_libertate (Diary) Friday, September 18th at 11:39AM EST (link)

Despite a gross ignorance of political violence in this country during the last century, Pelosi also displays incredible arrogance. How can dissent go from being “patriotic” to “incitement” in just the span of a few months? Oh yeah, I forgot, their messiah is now in power.

If Pelosi and her ilk think that what they have seen in the town halls this summer and the 9/12 protest rises to the level of real anger, they have got another thing coming. While I am loathe to say that violence is the only way to solve our present crises – since it isn’t – I can foresee a day where the people in this country who love their liberty and care about the principles this country was founded upon feel that their only recourse is to defend themselves with any and all means. Do I want that? No, but I want to loose my country even less.

 

is she for real?

redpens (Diary) Friday, September 18th at 2:57PM EST (link)

The only violence so far has come from the left. I thought she loved dissenters, she said so in 2006. Oh yeah, forgot Bush was in office back then. Dissent goes both ways, no matter who’s in power. Nancy, you’re un-American!!!

My suspicions would be to someone on the far, far left, not on the far, far right.

His existence is making the case as to why liberalism does not work. The left would probably do it, and try to pin it on the right (Think JFK), and then make him a martyr, where we would be passing their agenda in his name.
