The House Republicans' top campaign chief strongly denounced Speaker Nancy Pelosi's comments that appeared to question whether today's angry conservative protests were similar to anti-gay rallies in the late 1970s that preceded the assassination of two San Francisco political leaders.
Rep. Pete Sessions (Texas), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said Pelosi crossed the line when she related the rhetoric of anti-gay protesters in San Francisco in 1978 -- the year Harvey Milk, the first openly gay member of the city's board of supervisors, and his political ally, Mayor George Moscone, were killed by former supervisor Dan White -- to that of contemporary conservatives while answering a question about the protests against President Obama's health-care proposals.
"The Speaker is now likening genuine opposition to assassination. Such insulting rhetoric not only undermines the credibility of her office, but it underscores the desperate attempt by her party to divert attention away from a failing agenda," Sessions said in a statement. "During one of the most important policy debates of our time, the American people have been completely abandoned by those elected representatives under her control. Voters are justifiably frustrated with Washington, and the Speaker's verbal assault on voters accomplishes nothing other than furthering her reputation for being wildly out of touch with the American people."

The comments sadly reflect what this country has become-a cultural WARfare, thanks to 0bama.
It’s “incitement” when our side does it. When Ms. Pelosi’s side does it, it’s “speaking truth to power.”
>> the year Harvey Milk, the first openly gay member of the city’s board of supervisors, and his political ally, Mayor George Moscone, were killed by former supervisor Dan White
If I remember correctly, Milk was a fruitcake killed by another fruitcake — i.e. White was a jaded lover or something like that.
But, never let a good crisis go to waste, eh Nancy?

The house should censure/admonish Pelosi for her words.
Free speach is only for the socialists in the House and Senate. It’s not meant for us surfs.
Pelosi has adopted Obama’s strategy quite nicely. When all else fails, insult, attack, and malign people you disagree with.
Nancy is all wee-wee’d up.
Obama got it from Hillary. All of Obama's people are former Hillary people - every one.
Sounded more like a threat to stop this or else.
Pray for America
WEll, maybe she needs to stop saying “let them eat healthcare”.
I haven’t caught the full text of Madame Speaker’s comments yet, but the pieces I’ve heard were non-specific about which side of the argument she was speaking about.
Could it be that she was talking about her own folks? IIRC the preponderance of the violence at the rallies and town halls have been from SEIU thugs and other Liberals.
Hey Nancy !
Shut up an iron my shirt !

Unbelievable to see so much support for the most insane tirade I have heard in a long time.
There is something wrong and her family should consider interceding on her behalf.
I don’t believe that anyone could sit there and listen to that without thinking she needs mental help.

I’m not going to wallow in that sty. WaPo is MSM and we know where they are headed.
I am just curious about this: since the Dems want to run things on their own w/o Republican participation, can the Republicans simply boycott or refuse to vote in Congress? Is there a precedent for this? It would be sort of a no confidence vote for our government
She is fueling the fire to the urban myth that someone is out to get ZerO.
The most endangered people in Washington are the four conservative justices on the Supreme Court.
and The Party of Death
