Pelosi Very Confused: You ’Can’t Shout Wolf in a Crowded Theater’
Truth Revolt ^ | 8-25-17 | Trey Sanchez

To her credit, it’s the same number of letters as fire.

Nancy Pelosi has been very confused this year. She keeps calling President Trump “President Bush” and continues to struggle with her vocabulary.

The latest example happened in an interview with KRON when she “mixed her metaphors,” as The Washington Free Beacon reported, when talking about what the First Amendment does and doesn’t cover when it comes to free speech.

"The Constitution does not say that a person can shout — yell wolf in a crowded theater,” Pelosi said, stumbling. “If you are endangering people, then you don’t have a constitutional right to do that.”

Perhaps yelling “wolf” in a theater could be frightening for Alaskans, but everywhere else, “fire” is the magic word.

After the laughter subsides from this incredible gaffe, click here http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/watch-pelosi-still-struggling-words-and-stuff for more proof of why we need term limits.

...however, it’s permissible to shout “ movie” in a crowded firehouse.

""The Constitution does not say that a person can shout — yell wolf in a crowded theater,” "

(ignoring the wrong word there) Actually Nancy, it does. The ruling you are talking about was overturned in 1969 in Brandenburg v. Ohio. Only speech that is designed to cause imminent lawless actions are prohibited. (eg: riots) Yelling Fire! is not designed to cause lawless actions - just some short term chaos

The whole concept is a fallacy. You can yell fire in a crowded theater all you want. It would be a useful experiment for some college kid. Nobody would die. People would look at the yeller like they had a screw loose.

Restrictions on free speech relate to moral, commercial, sedition, or government personnel limits. There are a few others that mitigate or absolve the person that responds to the words. Personally I consider a flag burning as fighting words and can be responded to with extreme prejudice.

She also gets confused with the three branches of Fed Gov.

As well as the teachings of St. Augustine!

Shouting “Allah Akbar” in a crowded theater is protected speech.

The Democrats have been crying wolf for so long, they have forgotten that the rest of us don’t believe them any more.

How about instead, when we see you in public we just yell out “old b*tch”? That’s not yelling out ‘wolf’, you decrepit fool.

What Plastic Face actually meant to say was “You can’t stick your finger into a crowed wolf’s ass,” but it’s okay because she is a Democrat.

Let’s break this down beyond the gaffe.

Democrats believe that Speech they disagree with is limited, so the concept of the RIGHT to Free Speech is lost on them.

They are beyond just being offended, they are in full suppression of any thought that falls outside of their approved Group Think Mentality.

They say that the White “name your label” Organizers should be denied the right to Protest because of the violent reaction from the Democrat Antifa counter protestors, or as they refer to them, those in opposition to Hate Soeech.

They use the word “incite”, pushing the idea that you cannot incite people to violence and call it Free Speech.

What they miss of course it that the Organizers did not incite their own Supporters to cause any violence. They just dared to show up.

Self Defense is not inciting violence but having an Opinion that differs from Leftists obviously is.

George Orwell, the former Author of Fiction Novels will end up being a Historian if this crap keeps up.

Maybe she meant to say that you couldn’t shoot Wolf Blitzer in a crowd as political theater?
