Folks, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi choked up when asking Americans to “take responsibility for our actions and our words.”
She had this to say about the growing American Dissent (from the Huffington Post):
“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. I saw, (she choked up here0 I saw this myself in the late seventies in San Francisco. This kind of rhetoric was very frightening and it gave–it created a climate in which violence took place.”
The Huffington Post says she brought up memories of Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone…who were both killed “by former supervisor and arch-conservative Dan White.”
Now, While this post isn’t about the Huffington Post’s politics, but that is ridiculous…Dan White was a raving lunatic, not an “arch-conservative…”
Nancy Pelosi went on to say:
“I wish that we all again would curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made, with the understanding that some of the ears this is falling on are not as balanced as the person making the statement might assume. But I also think they have to take responsibility for any incitement they may cause.”
Well, Madam speaker, the same should go for you…
You can’t call Average Americans “un-American” and not expect some dissent…
