Pelosi Chokes Up, Recalling Milk Assassination (You racist, homophobic, angry brutes!)
The Washington Post ^ | September 17, 2009 | Paul Kane

Posted on 09/17/2009 5:32:18 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

In a rare display of public emotion, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) choked up Thursday morning recalling the anti-gay rhetoric in the late 1970s in San Francisco, which culminated in the assassinations of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay S.F. Board of Supervisors member, and Mayor George Moscone.

Pelosi, responding to a question about whether anti-government rhetoric posed a threat of domestic violence, said that protesters on all sides had the right to voice their opposition to legislative proposals in a heated fashion. But then Pelosi -- whose weekly press conferences are legendary for their highly scripted nature and her rote recitation of Democratic message points -- paused and took a deep breath as she recounted the tone of some protests in her hometown.

"I saw this myself in the late '70s in San Francisco," she said, a reference to the antigay laws and protests as that city became the flashpoint of the civil rights movement for gays and lesbians. "It created an environment in which violence took place."

Pelosi appeared to fight back tears, staring down at the podium.

Pelosi did not say that such an environment had returned thanks to the conservative activists who have been holding rallies in opposition to President Obama's health-care reform proposals, as well as the government takeover of troubled firms in the financial and the auto industries. But she added that protesters on all sides had to "take responsibility" for their words and actions.

Pelosi, a Baltimore native, moved to San Francisco in the late 1960s with her husband, Paul, a native of the city, and she became active in Democratic Party politics. By 1977 -- as Milk was on the verge of winning his Board of Supervisors seat -- Pelosi became the state's Democratic chairman for Northern California.(continued)

I’m thinking the tears may be because deep down she’s knows the *jig is up and her days are numbered.
(*Can you say that word here?)

Her tears were as real as Bill Clinton’s tears when Ron Brown was murdered.

Pelosi’s manipulative act today should not go unchallenged. How dare she, as Speaker of the House, imply that critics of Obama are inciting violence?

How dare she?

And that’s without even considering the 8 years of Bush-bashing in which she herself had a starring role.

How dare she?

Back in the day, Pelosi’s Mob father that she adored would have slit Milk’s throat for not being a man...

She's crying over spilt Milk?

Lest anyone forget, Milk helped People's Temple founder and scumbag Jim Jones keep going until he could move his followers to Guyana.

When all else fails, sprain an elbow, fake a knee surgery. She and her RAT party got caught along with the communist bozo in the White House and she wants to act like she didn't know.
No missile shield to protect some of the smaller countries like Poland, I wonder what she will say if Russia once again invades that country, She didn't know. I wonder what she will say when this bozo calls for our missile Shields to be scraped.
Right now their is about 87,000 weapons missing that were sent to Afghanistan. I wonder missing or are we being set up.
I don't trust obozo and I don't think he should be allowed out of the country. His trips to Russia and his deals may get us into a nuclear war. His trips to Mexico, I honestly believe the swine flu is a deal that was made with Mexican President, germ warfare. The sooner somebody locks this bozo up along with the rest of his czars the better off we will be.

***Milk and the Mayor were killed by a guy who held personal grudges against them,,***

The gunman was also a member of (and I love this) Handgun Control Inc.

Speaker Pelosi should be prepared to name names and quote quotes of these so-called violence inciters. It’s demeaning to her position as Speaker of the House to make such baseless accusations.

Pulling every possible victim card out of fht deck.

Next, a tearful denunciation of discrimination against the left-handed.
