Pelosi's playing a dangerous political game

Pelosi's playing a dangerous political game

As it becomes more and more apparent that Americans don't want the Obama-Pelosi healthcare plan, as they come out in droves simply to speak their mind--not being paid or influenced by a "Right-wing conspiracy" of political disruption--the powers that be are getting more and more terrified. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer's (D-MD) USA Today Op-Ed calling healthcare protesters (keep in mind that this is America, where free speech and the right to dissent are protected)"unamerican" reveals that many in Congress are starting to get scared as their grandiose plan goes south. Sorry, Nancy, no one is " drowning out the facts"; they are just speaking out about what they wish to see in their healthcare bill. They happen to be very angry because their representatives seem unwilling to listen. We've seen these kinds of tactics by politicians and pundits before, only a few years ago: remember all the Afghanistan and Iraq hawks calling protesters "unamerican?" Remember how those on the left pushed back, arguing that, au contraire, calling protesters "unamerican" is unamerican itself! And, if you remember, Nancy Pelosi was on the anti-war and pro-free speech side of that protest issue...

Mike Sola, after speaking out at his Representative's Townhall, ostensibly a forum for constituents to address their elected officials and be heard, has been harassed and has had his right to free speech challenged by thugs, who, he alleges, visited his house in the middle of the night. Sola is an average guy...not a swastika-wearing agitator paid by entrenched interests. Here he is in his own words:



Also, videos of the now-infamous union thugs at Castor's townhall:

Honest protesters, getting squelched by a big evil government, its disgusting.

I mean when is American gonna wake up?! Its not like the town hall meetings are meant for public debate,  and that the protesters eliminate any form of debate in order to get media attention at the expense of the people who came to those meetings for the purpose of constructively discussing health care with their elected representatives.

And while I’m talking could I mention that those damn lazy unemployed bastards should get off their ass and get jobs rather than living on my dollar, and we should get rid of the damn homosexual Mexicans too!!!
