House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi appeared confused in an interview this week about what kind of speech is protected by the U.S. Constitution.
“The Constitution does not say that a person can shout…yell ‘wolf’ in a crowded theater. If you are endangering people, then you don’t have a constitutional right to do that,” Pelosi said in an interview on Wednesday with San Francisco TV station KRON.
The Democrat seemingly meant to paraphrase an opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. in the landmark free speech case, Schenck v. United States (1919).
“The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic,” Holmes wrote in his opinion.
Pelosi offered up the mixed metaphor after being asked about a request she made with the National Park Service to deny a permit to Patriot Prayer, a right-wing group that has plans to hold a rally at San Francisco’s Crissy Field this weekend.
The National Park Service initially withheld the permit until Patriot Prayer’s organizers agreed to certain conditions aimed at limiting the risk of violence at the event.
“My hope is the park service would not allow these elements to use a national park to spew forth their venom,” Pelosi said in the interview.

You can yell “Moose!” in the shower but only if the moose bit your sister in her different shower across town.
And there must be cheese involved.
Bring back Cheese, Moose, Sister!
Or something like that. :-P
Can you yell “Pelosi” in a crowded theater?
I shouted “theater!” in a fire station once. I guess that’s ok, because I wasn’t arrested.
I think it’s “Don’t throw out the baby with the spilled milk”.
Or
“No good deed has a silver lining”.
Or
“The proof is in the wooden nickel”.
But is it OK to yell movie in a crowded firehouse?

Please don’t let this thread end.
How about yelling “jackass” in a crowded Senate?
You can lead a gift horse to water but you can never look in it’s mouth.
What if I yell “Shark!” on an empty beach?
-—Can I yell “Poosai”?
—How about “Twenty two year old boys are 94% p*nis”?
—How about “Nancy is a f**ktard!”?
Honestly she’s always been fundamentally a dumb@ss bimbo and has always said stupid bimbo things like this. We’re just noticing it more.
Dementia is not the reason behind the ridiculous things that she says. She’s a very successful manipulative beyotch, similar to Kim Kardashian. But fundamentally she’s also dumb as a box of rocks.

He’s supposed to see an OB/GYN later. Confused yet?
And yet it is OK to scream “racist” at the top of your lungs in a nation of 325 million people.
Yes. If your sister is in the audience, it is imperative that you warn her.
I called Mr. Roo Roo to tell him about Nancy’s “crying wolf in a crowded theatre” pronouncement. I was laughing so hard I was literally wheezing, took me about 30 seconds to stop laughing so I could actually tell him what she said.
Don’t judge a book about crying by its cover, if there is spilled milk on it.
Don’t count chickens until you put all your eggs in one basket before they hatch.
You can kill two sleeping dogs and leave them lying there with one stone.
A picture of wool paints a thousand people’s words you pulled over.
What I don’t understand is, how did the wolf get into the theater? Did it sneak in when someone opened one of the doors?
