Pelosi and the pastor
Andrew S. Ross
Sunday, June 15, 2008

At a San Francisco memorial service days after 9/11, the Rev. Amos Brown, pastor of the Third Baptist Church and a former member of the Board of Supervisors, drew "loud cheers" when he asked, "America, is there anything you did to set up this climate?"

"America, America, what did you do - either intentionally or unintentionally - in the world order, in Central America, in Africa where bombs are still blasting? Oh, America."

The former partner of Mark Bingham, of Flight 93 fame, was present, as were Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, then- Gov. Gray Davis, and Pelosi, among others. Feinstein and Davis walked out.

**SNIP**

"With all due respect to some of the sentiments that were earlier expressed - some of which I agree, make no mistake [neither Pelosi nor Sandalow says what those sentiments were] ... the act of terrorism on September 11 put those people outside the order of civilized behavior, and we will not take responsibility for that."

According to Sandalow, Pelosi subsequently went to Bingham's partner, Paul Holm, "and, fighting back tears, told him how sorry she was for Brown's comments."

let my hit this shit square in the eye:

If - and it's a BIG IF - the nation is being judged by God via its enemies, it's awfully, awfully arrogant for anyone to imply, "it's your sin that did this."

I would hate to be the person (or group) that suggested, for example, it's the white man's sins and nobody elses.

We know. The radical left thinks that the terrorist attacks are OUR fault for being just a bunch of oppressors of those NICE people.

Hatred of America is the litmus test of liberal religion.

This is SanFrancisco--a haven for this sort of wildlife--like the monkey house at the Zoo.

According to the natural order, scum is usually found concentrated on the down wind side of the pond - be it a natural pond or a sewage pond.

Come to think of it, SF IS on edge of America and on the coast, too.

Now we know why SF has so many Liberals.

You never have a terrorist when you need one.
