DRUDGE: Pelosi/Hoyer op-ed in Monday USATODAY calls townhall protesters 'un-American'

Developing.No details yet. Drudge only has the headline.

This ugly attack on average Americans exercising their free speech rights may prove to be the Democratic Congress's Stalingrad. I guarantee you Pelosi would not have published this without Obama's approval. This contempt for political opposition and Americans uneasy about the Democrats's healthcare plans goes all the way to the Oval Office. Is this the kind of "bipartisanship" and "unity" Obama and the Democrats promised, attacking hard working Americans as being "un-American?" Is this the change we can believe in?

Democrats regularly attacked Bush and Republicans for intolerance to opposition when Bush was president. I sure never heard any leading Republican governing official call the president's opponents "un-American" or to publish an ugly broadside to that effect. The media would have gone crazy on any Republican who did. But I'm sure the media will ignore this and go back to obsessing about Rush comparing Obama's logo to a swastika. It seems now not a bad observation now that we're seeing the administration and the Democrats's fetid intolerance to political opposition beginning to come into bloom.

Pelosi’s constituents and supporters shutting down San Francisco on May 26, 2009 protesting the Prop 8 vote. Where were the cries of “Nazis” and being un-American in not recognizing the will of the voters?

You wrote, “Well, Our side has citizens showing up - the Dem side is nothing but paid professionals.”

Exactly. Here on the Big Island, every time we had a sign waving for our Repub. Governor (Linda Lingle) we could see the union goons drive by while talking on their cell phones. Sure enough a few minutes later a few showed up at the same time from the union hall. People in our group were able to identify these goons and those who came out from the hall... Hilo is not that big a city.

Typical stalinist behavior. I bet the USA Today didn’t balance it with the facts about who is committing violence

Oh, goody, goody! I hope they keep it up, under the mistaken impression that they’re gaining brownie points with the American people.

Received another letter from Gannett Publications, publisher of USAToday, and several other newspapers. Due to contractual arrangements they have with third-party content providers, they have denied our request to allow posting of excerpts. They will only allow the posting of titles and links."

Will the comments be in the paper? no.

Sadly no, but the response is there anyway, and if Pelosi and Hoyer convince themselves that this is just a loud minority then they are lost. (I think they have lost already. Once you wake up people, people who never were politically active before, it is very difficult to get them to go back to sleep again.)

Everything the Rats accused Republicans of... they are...

These two rats need to go... They cannot stand debate because they lose. Further proof they hate free speech.
