Pelosi censors poster of troops

Bruce Fein

Friday, August 22, 2008

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-S.F., has done something worse than commit a crime against the First Amendment. The speaker's censorship of nonobtrusive posters featuring men and women who gave that last full measure of devotion in service to their country is a blunder that could alienate 23 million veterans and their families from the Democratic Party. If she is endowed with a crumb of constitutional or political sense, she will reverse course.

The tale of Pelosi's folly begins with Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C. He wished to pay tribute to the service members of Camp Lejeune who had been killed in Iraq or Afghanistan. Accordingly, Walter placed a poster flat against the wall in the corridor outside his office showing their names and pictures.

"Irrespective of free speech, the prospect of losing the veterans' vote in November should concentrate Pelosi's mind on

I hate to be the fly in the soda glass here but as for "losing the veteran's vote", Pelosi doesn't have a veteran's vote to lose. Her communist-bitch seat is insanely safe. Most veterans will never hear about this and even if they do I doubt it will change any minds in such a way as to effect votes. The most it will garner is some nasty emails.

Still I suppose the combinations of overt anti-Americanism by the liberals in Washington might have some effect. A little BS here, a little BS there and eventually enough BS to make a few people realize the liberals stink.

It continues the tradition of sheer arrogance that this woman has shown since she arrived on the scene. Very few people stir visceral hatred in me. She’s one.

Once again SanFranNan sends a janitor to do her dirty work. People should really start pressing their representatives for a pledge to support SOMEONE ELSE as SoH. You might not be able to turn your district from blue to red but MAYBE you can get that biatch out of power.

Our research into the land ownership of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband revealed that the Speaker and her husband bought two pieces of property from Joseph E. Seagrams and Sons, the liquor company on March 25, 1999. Current records from the District of Columbia show that one of the properties is now back in Seagram's name but the address Seagram's is using is the address of the Paul and Nancy Pelosi Charitable Foundation.webofdeception.com

SanFranNan is working like the approval poll is a golf score...the lowest number wins. Assuming that’s her view, she’s headed for spectacular success, IMO.

This is patently ridiculous. I hope it is rightly challenged. Madam Despot needs a time out.
