Liberal Meltdown
Human Events ^ | 10/23/2007 | Monica Crowley

Posted on 10/23/2007 5:24:51 AM PDT by vietvet67

Three things happened over the last two weeks that raises the curtain on just how much chaos there is among Democrats.

Last week, the Washington Post reported an absolutely astounding statement made by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. She was asked by reporters about the anger of the liberal base over the Democrats' failure to end the war in Iraq.

"Look," she said, her frozen smile turning into a frozen frown. "I had, for five months, people sitting outside my home, going into my garden in San Francisco, angering neighbors, hanging their clothes from trees, building all kinds of things -- Buddhas? I don't know what they were -- couches, sofas, chairs, permanent living facilities on my front sidewalk."

Sounds like liberal heaven. But wait! There's more:

"If they were poor and they were sleeping on my sidewalk, they would be arrested for loitering, but because they have "Impeach Bush" across their chest, it's the First Amendment."

Absorb the stunning nature of that statement. This is liberal-on-liberal violence.

Speaker Pelosi complained that antiwar liberals 1) invaded her private space, 2) ticked off her neighbors, 3) set up "protest camps" outside her home, 4) made her life inconvenient with their antics. Of course, all of that was fine when they were doing it to President Bush outside his home in Crawford, Texas.

Furthermore. I thought liberals embraced the downtrodden, but Pelosi wants to see those homeless folks sleeping on her sidewalk removed for loitering.

What would Jesus do?

She's also seething over a primary challenge against her by antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan. She called Sheehan's and others' targeting of Democrats "a waste of time."

The greatest L on L violence ever was the ‘68 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

Ah, the good old days.

“They are flailing. And the amusing consequence is seeing them doing exactly what they accused Bush of doing: shutting down their own agitators and telling them to watch what they say.”

That they are. The war in Iraq is turning around. Violence in Anbar is down 82%. The Iraqis are taking control of their country.

So what do the Democrats do? They try their best to p!ss off our ally (and Iraq’s neighbor) by bringing up something that happened 100 years ago, perpetuated by a regime that was overthrown by the present day Turks!

Give them a big “L” for “LOSERS!”

I heard botox withdrawal is 100x worse than PMS. (Then again, maybe I just made that up.)

What's really amazing is that she will, again and again, receive a free pass when she dons the mantle of liberal sainthood and speaks gravely "for the poor" and "for the children" even after revealing her disdain for the peasantry.

As much as I dislike Pelosi and other liberals, anyone can frown and be irritable without using biology to explain it.

Grow up.

Memo to Nancy Pelosi: Welcome to your own personal Hell that you helped create with your liberal policies. I hope all of the demostrators in front of your house leave nice packages for you and your neighbors every time they go to the bathroom. Gee Nancy, after a while it will begin to smell as bad there as your policies do now for the rest of us poor slobs that get to pay all of their bills with our tax dollars. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do just reading about it!

In liberal counties of N California, radical rats are leaving the party to become non declared voters. They have cancelled donations and aren't working to elect rats in 08.

Some have put "Gore for 08" stickers on their cars.

We may see a replay of the 68 Chicago Rat Convention where the rats came close to shutting down their own party and Chicago with radical move oners marching against their own party.

I was joking. Take a pill and wash it down with some gin and relax a little.
If you can’t pick up sarcasm, you will not do well around here.

When you are for “the working families” you can really get away with anything.
I wonder if she will bring up impeachment to get back into the loonies good graces.

Hey Cindy, Nazi Pelosi reserves the balance of her time to tell you what to do with YOUR time. GO CINDY GO!

I didn't see a damn word about Pelosi's comments anywhere.

The Drive-Bys protect their favorite politicians again.

Is there ANY doubt
Nancy Pelosi is the most ineffective Speaker of the House in recent times?

Seriesly, I thought Hastert was weak--he was a virtual HULK compared to the laughable Pelosi.

"...Absorb the stunning nature of that statement. This is liberal-on-liberal violence..."

Not quite accurate. It's radical-on-liberal violence. It's long since past time we stopped calling them Liberals. They are nothing of the sort. They are serious, radicalized extremists. They just want to destroy something they really don't even understand, but have been reflexively railing against for so long they can't help themselves any longer. The louder and more openly they operate, the more they marginalize themselves.

Put together a PowerPoint presentation on Botox withdrawl, have someone film it, win an Oscar and you are on the way to a Nobel.

Sarcasm is a form of irony that is used when the sarcastic writer means the exact opposite of the word/phrase they use.

What was the opposite you meant ? That you think she uses her mind ?

You are wrong on that one too.
