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."

No, sick of personal attacks.
There is so much we can say about Pelosi’s attitudes and so on that we don’t need to stoop to such low levels. That is just like getting into the muck with the pig - and the pig likes it.
You're not a Liberal 'mole' are ya?
Fat chance.
And you have a point too - but where I personally draw the line is “things a person can change” as opposed to “things they can’t change”. (I realize that’s not as hard-and-fast as I like but it suffices for lack of better terminology.)
Whining, obesity(esp self-induced) or excesses of any type, willful idiocy and the like are self-inflicted - gender is not (and please don’t bring up transvestites here :) )
She shouldn’t be surprised. When you lie down with dogs, you get fleas.
That may be true in San Fran Nan's glitzy 'hood but over here in the cheap seats it's an open-air slumber party for crackheads and Mexicans 24/7.
