"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 have concerns about some of the language that is being used, because I saw this myself in the late '70s in San Francisco. This kind of rhetoric was very frightening, and it created a climate in which violence took place. 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." -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who welled up as she was invoking the assassinations of Harvey Milk and George Moscone while expressing her concerns about the stormy political climate in America today.

I'm hoping you are highlighting Pelosi's comments about heated rhetoric as a way to make fun of her?! She's ridiculous. She's the one who called protestors un-American in a recent USA Today op-ed. Stop referring to people's opinions as illegitimate and maybe they'll have some respect for you.
Pelosi is a JOKE!
Read between the lines...
She wants to CENSOR speech!!!
Only speech that SHE approves would be allowed in America if she ACTUALLY WERE the Queen.
Instead, she only THINKS she is the queen.
"I wasn't briefed"
"I was briefed, but not really briefed"
"I wasn't briefed" #2
"I was only INFORMED that there had been a briefing"
"The CIA are Liars!"
What's next? "You're a doo-doo head"?
She has stayed WAY past her welcome!
