NEW YORK – Imagine going to work each day and hearing people call your mother a Nazi.
Nazi Pelosi.
Alexandra Pelosi, the filmmaker daughter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, heard it frequently last fall in speeches meant to fire up the crowds at McCain-Palin campaign rallies.
She attended many such events to make a film about the people who attended, those who fought against a Barack Obama presidency. "Right America, Feeling Wronged," debuts Monday at 8 p.m. EST on HBO.
The work wasn't easy. Pelosi was spat upon at the Iowa State Fair, leading her to enlist her husband as a bodyguard. Her name would make potential subjects turn away in disgust. But Pelosi was also asked for autographs by people who fondly remembered her Emmy Award-winning documentary, "Journeys With George," about the first presidential campaign of George W. Bush.
"I didn't know how nasty it was going to get," she said. "If I knew, I don't know if I would have signed up for it."
Many of the people who attended the McCain campaign rallies complained — rightfully so, Pelosi believes — that the mainstream media wasn't interested in hearing what they had to say.
So she set out to listen.
For all the talk about the historic nature of Obama's victory, there were still millions of Americans who weren't ready for that kind of change, weren't ready for a black president, she said.
Her film opens and closes with a tearful woman attending McCain's Election Night wake in Arizona. In between, she found serious people with serious concerns — such as Elaine Tornero, an Ohio woman who goes door-to-door supporting the McCain candidacy. Tornero is shown bypassing a home with an Obama lawn sign. "Interesting," she said. "I'm too afraid to get into a fight with a neighbor."

Do you think Alexandra is any smarter than her Mother?
The Bush and Cheney kids didn't even have to go that far to hear their father called one. They just had to turn on the TV, open a paper or go online.
I’d say she figured out the right side of the camera to be on
The MSM is going to push this line forever--one could ONLY object to Obama because he was black.
Funny how I haven't seen anyone making that point when arguing against the stimulus, Gitmo closing, etc. But the press JUST KNOWS what people are REEEEEEEALLY feeling.
lol, now THATs wit!
yeah it would suck to have people call your mom that, but honestly that’s being NICE. also this chic is SUPER annoying...she was on Hannity the other night and i was ready to reach through the TV and strangle her...
She did a Doc on Ted Haggard. I thought it was rather fair.......
Pelosi is lying through her teeth. Of course it was, or else those clips have wound up on the cutting room floor. It's a matter of record that many Leftists went around declaring that the 2007-2008 Congress and Senate were controlled by Republicans, which is yet more stupid than anything that the singular viewpoints Pelosi documented, but that would not have seen the light of day in a Republican documentary.
A face like that should be careful about ridiculing others.

...of course, she expects to still have her job / profession (filming leftist propaganda) after Zer0Bambi/Klintoons et al gets firmly in place. 
No. There two idiots of the same stripe.
Just Mob women ~ they know who and what they are. If Nazi didn’t tell her daughter about it, time she learned.
Oh BS.
Why? What did she say?
I was annoyed with the part of this story in which she thinks of herself as so hip for doing this film.
The remnants of the Clinton campaign compiled a documentary on how 0bama's campaign people muscled and cheated their way to caucus victories. If I remember the group name or the documentary name I'll repost.
When your mother is a nazi, it's kinda hard to object.
