Comedy Gold: Pelosi Tears Up, Concerned Over 'Political Violence'



Well, now that the race-card meme has blown up in their faces, here comes Stretch Pelosi welling up over the possibility of political violence, just like all that violence perpetrated by the left in San Francisco during the 1970s.

Nancy ought to try stand-up comedy when her tenure as House Speaker ends after the 2010 elections.
A usually steely House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday began to tear up when, in responding to a question about the tone of the national debate, she recalled the politically charged violence that tore through her hometown of San Francisco in the late 1970s.

At her weekly news conference, Pelosi (D-Calif.) was asked if she was concerned about whether the debate over healthcare and the role of the federal government — much of it wrapped in escalating anti-government rhetoric — could lead to acts of violence.

“I think we all have to take responsibility for our actions and our words. We are a free country and this balance between freedom and safety is one that we have to carefully balance,” Pelosi began.

But she then reached back some 30 years, to the very beginning of her career in politics, to recall how heated rhetoric led to the assassinations of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk by a disgruntled former supervisor on Nov. 27, 1978.

“I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw … I saw this myself in the late '70s in San Francisco,” Pelosi said, choking up and with tears forming in her eyes. “This kind of rhetoric is just, is really frightening and it created a climate in which we, violence took place and … I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made.”
Possibly the woorst acting job since the last Keanu Reeves movie. Of course the Milk shooting was a single isolated incident that had zero to do with anyone other that the killer. But hey, why let facts interfere with some lame political acting?

Seriously, how desperate can these buffoons get? Of course now the media will take the cue and all run with the ominous specter of political violence by those evil right-wingers.

No doubt Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck will be blamed. It's only a matter of time until some lefties pull off some vandalism and try to make it look like conservatives did it.

Mark my words.

One question for Ms. Pelosi: After over a million people gathered in Washington, DC last weekend, how many arrests were made?

Funny how Pelosi didn't tear up after Kenneth Gladney was beaten by a pack of vicious union thugs.
