San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 11/4/9 | Victoria Colliver

SAN FRANCISCO -- Federal police on Tuesday arrested 12 supporters of a single-payer health care system who entered House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco offices and refused to leave until they talked to the congresswoman.

Police arrested them for creating a disturbance on federal property nearly three hours after they entered Pelosi's offices. Pelosi was not in the office and did not talk to them by telephone.

The protesters, who are in favor of a system administered by the federal government but delivered by private health care providers, entered the waiting room of Pelosi's offices about 11:45 a.m. and were arrested around 2:30 p.m.,

I thought Pelosi loved disruptors.

I’m betting she goes into hiding tomorrow, when the Bachmann anti-Obamacare protesters are supposed to converge on DC.

Leftist stunt.

Anyone with half a brain knows she was on tv in Washington.

LOL! It used to be that people protested because they wanted the right to vote or the right to ride the bus or something else that was a fairly simple idea. Today it’s “We want publicly controlled privately administered health insurance”. You can’t tell the protesters with out a scorecard.

OK Pelosi let’s hear all the rhetoric about “Nazis” etc, that you flung at the Tea Party members. What’s that, I can’t hear you.

Didn’t the same thing happen a couple weeks ago, or was that Barbara Boxer’s office?

In a system administered by the federal government, it cannot be truly said that there are any private health care providers.

Pelosi is introduced to a REAL angry mob. LOL. Will she call them "AstroTurf"? Will she have the guts? Was she scared of her own evil spawn?

And Oboma will come up with some million dollar excuse to fly out and prevent the aerial photos of the hoards and hoards of people protesting his Welfare Death Care scam.

It's a real nasty fight with some democrats in one corner and some democrats in the other.

Who wins? Americans always win when democrats attack each other.

They are such nasty, vicious creatures.

A perfect hybrid of rattlesnakes and mental patients.

Pelosi could technically be charged with treason since she threatened American and Israeli National Security by defiantly meeting with state sponsors of international terrorism.

“SAN FRANCISCO — Federal police on Tuesday arrested 12 supporters of a single-payer health care system ...” Sounds too much like a setup by SEIU operatives sent to the scene by Nazi Pelosi’s handlers, to diminish the effect of tomorrow’s protests in D.C. Sooner or later, the DNC/Obamanoid thuggery will bus in hundreds of SEIU thugs to generate the needed violence to turn off those starting to pay attention. Pacifism is too ingrained in American minds now, after generations of media indoctrination. America’s enemies like it, however. And the thugs taking over now love it, too.

Nice little demonstration of power eh...Nancy?

Even though these “protesters” were there supporting a topic I disagree with...

The fact that they were arrested and the madame would not speak with them is very telling.

Perhaps, a sit-in, will be needed tomorrow? Get the press and show them dragging citizens, there to see their representatives, away in plastic handcuffs.

Looks like the Democrats need adult supervision.

Their party is falling apart faster than the expansion of the universe.

Pelosi and the DemoFascists are already ordering Americans arrested for peaceful assembly...

Where will the police put all the American citizens they arrest tomorrow under the orders from the domestic usurpers?

I’m betting she gavels the house done for the day, before noon. So they can all run away and hide their criminal faces.

A good reason to get there EARLY on Thursday, and visit your Congress-critters in the morning before the noon rally.

Local police? Arresting someone for being on Federal property? Wait a minute, I was under the impression that locals couldn’t arrest based on Federal laws, thats why they cant card-check if illegal alien status is supected.

Remember the code pink freaks chaining themselves to the Marine Recruiter's office in Berkley, AFTER vandalizing the office? That was constitutionally guaranteed free speech...
