Pelosi says what????

[zg04]

Any truth to this?

RealClearPolitics - Video - Pelosi: Town Hall Protesters Are "Carrying Swastikas"

If not maybe she needs to be flagged!

I just heard her say this tonight. I have watched a lot of those videos that are being played over and over. Now, I haven't seen any such thing in any of those videos, and my first reaction was...she's a liar. However, I can't say that with 100% certainty because I wasn't there and I probably haven't seen all of the videos, but one would think that if what she says is true, there would be video or pictures of it somewhere by now, wouldn't there?

Sad, that we have to wonder if she's telling the truth (and figure she's not)...

However, IF people are carrying swastikas, I would take it more that they are just making a point that they are sick of this "Hitler-like" administration. I do agree with some of the commentators that they are using the argument that the Republicans are planting people at these meetings to stir up trouble. This is their excuse to completely ignore the people they represent. I heard someone earlier saying that Obama knew he was going to have to sell Obamacare to the people, and that we just don't know what's good for us (or something to that extent). These elitists are so arrogant.

No of course not. Why would the drive by media cover that story?

Well...I meant like a YouTube vid from an Obama supporter or an Acorn worker or something....

Maybe this is where she got her info from. This is from the DNC.

Statement from DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse on the Republican Party and Allied Groups' Mob Rule

The Republicans and their allied groups - desperate after losing two consecutive elections and every major policy fight on Capitol Hill - are inciting angry mobs of a small number of rabid right wing extremists funded by K Street Lobbyists to disrupt thoughtful discussions about the future of health care in America taking place in Congressional Districts across the country.

However, much like we saw at the McCain-Palin rallies last year where crowds were baited with cries of 'socialist,' 'communist,' and where the birthers movement was born - these mobs of extremists are not interested in having a thoughtful discussion about the issues - but like some Republican leaders have said - they are interested in 'breaking' the President and destroying his Presidency.

These mobs are bussed in by well funded, highly organized groups run by Republican operatives and funded by the special interests who are desperately trying to stop the agenda for change the President was elected to bring to Washington. Despite the headline grabbing nature of these angry mobs and their disruptions of events, they are not reflective of where the American people are on the issues - or the hundreds of thousands of thoughtful discussions taking place around kitchen tables, water coolers and in homes.

The right wing extremists' use of things like devil horns on pictures of our elected officials, hanging members of Congress in effigy, breathlessly questioning the President's citizenship and the use of Nazi SS symbols and the like just shows how outside of the mainstream the Republican Party and their allies are. This type of anger and discord did not serve Republicans well in 2008 - and it is bound to backfire again.

Don't you know by now? You can tell she's a liar. Her lips are moving for crying out loud!

(from Jnmurra's post...)

Seriously? I am not sure if I should laugh or cry....

....because we never saw any images of GW hanging in effigy...wearing devil horns....portrayed as a monkey...wearing a KKK uniform....and so on...and so on.....

How soon we forget....

I think we need to reopen a lot of the mental hospitals in this country. It seems obvious that there's a disease in Washington making people sick.
