House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer said Thursday he and Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a mistake when they called anti-health care protests "un-American" last year.
"That was not a good phrase, not a good use of language, it was not correct," Mr. Hoyer, Maryland Democrat, said, adding that he did not see anything wrong with vigorous debating of philosophies.
In August, in the middle of a summer in which members of Congress were sometimes shouted down at town halls by constituents furious over the health care bill, Mr. Hoyer and Mrs. Pelosi wrote an op-ed article in USA Today decrying the tenor of the debate and complaining about baseless charges.

FUSH
Or something.
What comes out of these vermin’s mouth is what is rolling around in their empty heads.
Is he itching to start a House un-American Activities Committee? Hey, Steny, I doubt you want to remind your dwindling supporters about that one.
Let us not forget that USA Today gave Hoyer & Pelosi a nice big op-ed megaphone for their fascist rubbish.
New Rule: Never forgive never forget. It's a keystroke away until you die, and then it's a part of your obituary on Wiki...
Too late for damage control.
We can see November from our house.
That is the new rallying cry. I am going to make a tee shirt.
Gee, now he regrets his poor choice of words. So if he apologizes, Americans are supposed to forgive and forget. wait a minute here, who has been calling Americans tea baggers, nazis, homophobes, unpatriotic and et al. Hey Steny, nancy reid and et al - go emasculate yourself. Pond scum has more appeal thanyou do. The federal prison system is going to pretty full when the DC Rats begin to fill it up in 2011.
And the nag he rode in on....
He must have pulled his head out of Pelosi’s backside and got a breath of fresh air. Don’t worry he will be back up there soon.Spouting the Dem garbage.
It has become my life goal to see that _itch be brought down.
TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.
Sounds like Steny is practicing obsequiousness for when he becomes Minority Leader. After all the crap that Pelosi has pulled, he’ll be lucky if Boehner tells him what day it is..
Exactly. Hey Hoyer, go f yourself up the nose with rifle-cleaning equipment.
UnAmerican in the context of the Constitution is defined by the crappy Democrat party that has been taken over by regressive "progressives", communist, stalinist, anarchist, satanist, jerks.
Distancing himself from Pelosi-hmmm.
Maybe he’s reading the handwriting on the wall and wants to get his ducks in a row to be the next MINORITY leader. So he’s throwing Pelosi under the bus.
...who, herself, claimed Tea Party members wore swastikas.
