So this week we were treated to Nancy Pelosi decrying the tea Party rallies and Joe wilson's "you lie" shout as somehow inevitably leading to violence. Since she claims now to be concerned with decorum and thinks that something as relatively harmless as "you lie" can incite violence, and that we should avoid speech that might incite violence, let's use her own standard and look back over the past few months and years, shall we? Let's see if Ms. Pelosi is proceeding from a genuine concern -- or flailing for political advantage as everyone in the country expresses their disgust at her and her policies.
In 2006, the same Nancy Pelosi stood in front of protesters (who were among other things guilty of invading Churches, trespassing, destroying private property, shouting at people during funerals, and assaulting, among others, an elderly couple in California whose only crime was walking across the street near a Left-wing protest) and said that she was "a fan of disruptors" (her word, disruptors, folks) and that such behavior was "very American" (again, her words, describing acts of violence, theft, destruction, and rude shouting in Churches as "american" and something she's a "fan" of).
Um, Nancy? Whereas police reports and video over the past eight years show Leftist protests doing all the things I've already mentioned, and looking up police reports and arrests during Leftist protests has literally thousands more examples for the intrepid reporter to slog through -- the tea Party rallies? They clean up after themselves, for God's sake, whereas the Leftists leave behind trash on the streets wherever they go (among the broken streetlights and such) -- all on video. They clamor and argue, but most of their arguments are about SUBSTANCE, actual DETAILS... and there have been ZERO arrests or acts of violence committed by one of the Tea Party ralliers. On the other hand, we've already seen that there were arrests for assault and violence and such -- exhibit A, Ken Gladstone, whose crime was making signs for a rally, who was beaten so badly he had to be admitted to the hospital through the emergency room. Who was he beaten by, Ms. Pelosi? SEIU thugs, bussed there at Democrat Party expense. You're concerned that the people who have now had a year of actions and done NOTHING violent will turn violent -- while you turn a blind eye and in your own words encourage violence from the Left, directed at the Right.
I would call Nancy a hypocrite, but that would probably lead to her name-calling me as "sexist" or some other bizarre and unrelated catchword. Besides, the fact that she spent the Bush years telling people who did commit acts of violence on their fellow Americans, often for such high-minded reasons as being in their path or walking near them, that she was "their fan" makes her far, far worse than simply a hypocrite.
This is a woman who clearly has a double-standard at play and whose only purpose is to regain political advantage -- for herself and her party. Any actual worries about violence would lead her to actually condemn those who are acting violently -- all of them, on the record, on video, from the Left. So spare us the crocodile tears, Ms. Pelosi, and try acting like you actually have a principle or two somewhere in that hypocritical, overwrought, overacting body of yours.
