WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has condemned vandalism and threats of violence against members of Congress in connection with the health care issue, saying such reprisals "must be rejected."

She told a news conference Thursday that "I don't want this to be a distraction," but also said that such behavior has "no place in a civil debate in our country."

House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said in a statement that while many Americans are angry over the bill's passage, "violence and threats are unacceptable."

WHAT HYPOCRISY!! Every law that these clowns pass is aimed at us with a threat of violence or death by the government's jack booted thugs if we don't comply, and now they see the unrest caused by their tyranny is causing a little grumbling. Too bad. What Jefferson said about the tree of liberty.

Hey Nazi!

Clean up your own house first before you point the finger elsewhere, ya effin hypocrite.

Hey Nazi!

You talkin' to me?

What Jefferson said about the tree of liberty.

Start with Pelosi, work to Reid, and of course let the watering continue unabated with the Dear Comrade.

I'm sure they would love to water the garden, they all love to stop and sniff the roses.

And so do we.

Ms Pelosi should be reminded of the words of some of our Founders, particularly Thomas Jefferson.

LOL. I don’t agree with any sort of violence, but why is it bad for our elected officials to live in fear of the people?

“The People should not be afraid of the Government. The Government should be afraid of the People.”

[linn37]

I don’t care what Pelosi says.

[mkjessup]

You talkin' to me?

Far from it FRiend, I'm talkin' to Nazi Pelosi, Shrieker of the House.

[dforest]

I condemn this communist Pelosi. She will go down in history as a stain in the pants of America.

What Pelosi and her fellow tyrants seem to ignore is that our country was born of violent resistance to tyranny of a much lesser degree than we're experiencing today. The taxes that the British crown enacted on the colonies were a lot lower than the taxes that Kongress steals today. Also patriots were in the minority then and the "police" equivalents then were the redcoats.

Ahh, wasn’t sure.

I can't believe they use Stupak's VM where he's called human (excrement) as an example. Come on! I've been called much worse and I'm not running to the police or nearest TV camera.

Someone can now leave a message, calling him a feline reference for female anatomy and be perfecly honest and accurate in the statement.

Sticks and stones may break my bones.. and I’m sure you all know the rest. Get over it Stretch.

[johniegrad]

This is a full fledged, coordinated effort by the media and democrats to deflect attention from their treason onto protests from citizens.

Every time they object, we need to double the heat!!

[glennaro]

I am certain that the Democrat Socialist party members in the House received far more genuine threats from their own leaders than from American patriots.

What Pelosi forgets is what happened to tyrants in the beginning of this country

[Dallas59]

Pelosi is drunk on power...or botox.

What is wrong with this douchebag? Boner has clearly spent too much time on a tanning bad and it has warped his brain. Doesn't he know that most of the Democrat claims are fraudulent? Someone send him Michelle Malkin's piece this morning...
