Yeah, I know she’s a raving liberal from the Bay area, and probably crazy, but we should all go a little easy on her.

Speier survived the deadly attack from Jim Jones’ goons in Guyana back in 1978.
She was shot five times and watched Rep. Leo Ryan die on the tarmac of that little airport.

So she’s been through hell and back.

She didn’t get booed for what happened to her many years ago. She got booed for her own reprehensible behavior. I will not go easy on her.

Okay, so now I have heartfelt grief over my catty comments in 49. I shall now proceed to my home after work and offer my humble apology to the Lord on my knees. Shot five times, huh? I remember her face now. My bad. Her daughter is at the awkward stage — braces and all, but it's a miracle she's here and she'll turn out to be a cutie (even if she is a leftie).

Speier had a reputation in Sacto as one of the brighter legislators. She was insightful on healthcare and insurance issues, and tried to bring some enlightenment to her hopelessly ignorant delegation.

However, she has always represented a far left constituency.

Thanks for that link.

Interesting life story.

Too bad she’s a barking moonbat.

Did she or didn’t she drink the kool-aid?

Re Speier having survived the killing of Rep. Ryan, newsmen, and others by Jim Jone’s marxist thugs, all I can say is:

1. Bad aiming. Look at her today, a “raving liberal” and “probably crazy”. Does America need another raving lunatic Democrat in Congress?
2. Because, communist/sympathizers attorneys Charles R. Gary (who Hillary worked for on the New Haven Black Panther Party torture murder case) and Mark Lane (once a hardcore red, then an anti-semite with the far right) survived without being hit. Somehow they managed to flee “into the bush.” They were supporters of Jim Jones. See “What Really happened at Jonestown?”, CPUSA paper, Daily World, Nov. 28, 1978, Tom Foley.
3. Rep. Ryan (D-Ca) was a nut, pure and simple. I met him and he seemed to be in another world. Did I want him killed? - No. The communists did it anyway, similar to what they did to their comrade Bishop in Grenade - internecine fighting for power.

This woman got what she deserved in Congress, and her daughter wonders why. Another family from the bottom of the gene pool. I wish the American voter would drain this swamp because they get on breeding idiots who will harm our country.
