Pelosi censors poster of troops

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-S.F., has done something worse than commit a crime against the First Amendment. The speaker's censorship of nonobtrusive posters featuring men and women who gave that last full measure of devotion in service to their country is a blunder that could alienate 23 million veterans and their families from the Democratic Party. If she is endowed with a crumb of constitutional or political sense, she will reverse course.
The tale of Pelosi's folly begins with Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C. He wished to pay tribute to the service members of Camp Lejeune who had been killed in Iraq or Afghanistan. Accordingly, Walter placed a poster flat against the wall in the corridor outside his office showing their names and pictures.

Why the outrage? The Democrat party has treated the military like less than dirt for years. Ms. 9% is only acting in character.
Put the poster back up and dare the bitch to come remove it herself.
She’s going for the “whole kielbasa”.....0% APPROVAL RATING!...................
Anti-american, military loathing, beeyotch!
This is just one of the many reasons why I am proud to say I have never voted Democrap and NEVER WILL!!!
Support the GOP candidate running against Pelosi.

Many of the great old Universal (and other) horror flicks had great scenes where the villagers would rise up, torches and pitchforks in hand, and burn down the castle where evil dwells. I predict soon life will be imitating art.
“Support the GOP candidate running against Pelosi.”
Don’t think there is one. Cindy Sheehan is the only alternative. Much as it pains me to say it, Pelosi actually makes Sheehan look good — but only by comparison.
“alienate 23 million veterans”
SanFranNan did that years ago and does not care.
The Democrats are once again showing their true colors ....RED!
How can we get a copy of the poster? Does anyone have posters/pictures we can flood her Email with? She is as bad as the traitor kerry.
Treasonous Liberals fear exposure more than anything. They exist and thrive on lies and deception. IMO, they’re reprehensible human waste.
Seriously, I don’t think our overlords understand the seething anger among the electorate. While the Gwatney shooting here in Arkansas was the work of a man completely off his nut, it should at least serve as a little “goose” for the elitists who are doing their damndest to run this country into the ground. I’m not saying I advocate violence, however, when the ruling class continues to anger the citizens, somethings gotta give....
The only time Democrats honor troops is when they can get a good photo op out of it, or score political points by parading their dead bodies around.
Its California, is there a GOP running against Pelosi?
I know Sheehan is. And that race should highlite what a nut case they both are.

That was gonna be my comment. You beat me by 5 minutes.
Yes, there is a woman ....but I can’t remember her name at the moment. Unfortunately, I have to leave in a few minutes. I’ll try to look it up later. ;-)
The infestation of socialism continues to collect more puss.
I’ve got no use at all for Walter Jones, and I question his motives in putting up the poster in the first place.
But 9% Nancy still stepped in it.
