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)

So far the only people hurt have been those on the right. One guy lost his finger and one lost his life.

“So far the only people hurt have been those on the right. One guy lost his finger and one lost his life.”

Are you referring to the pro-life protester who was murdered? Wonder if the Botox B!tch gets all “emotional” over THAT?! (BTW, notice the MSM never used the word “assassinated” like they did when Tiller the Killer took a bullet....

Wasn’t White also a Democrat? Not as liberal as Milk but still a moderate to liberal Democrat?

Most people are too decent to believe the Presidio child abuse scandal in Pelossi's San Francisco (including a retired Army Lt. Col. Aquino, the founder of a Satanic church ... plus "others"). The West Point child care center abuse scandal. The Franklin child prostitution scandal (The Franklin Cover-Up: Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska) -- involving numbers of politicians of both parties aligned with or compromised by the same Evil that runs Pelosi and elected Barack Obama. (Watch the suppressed documentary at http://www.whale.to/b/franklin.html.) Barney Frank and his boyfriend running a gay prostitution ring from his apartment on Capital Hill is just a the tip of an iceberg. Obama is one of those who has been completely "compromised." You are right, it is sickening. This is what is at stake. The hard part is akin to what former CIA Director William Colby (who was drowned under suspicious circumstances) told John DeCamp, a former aide to Colby and later a Nebraska state legislator: DeCamp, Colby warned, needed to back off or be at high risk. Shortly after, Colby was found drowned under suspicious circumstances.

I'm thinking the tears may be because deep down she's knows the *jig is up and her days are numbered.

Agree. I think she was genuinely tearing up, and for the reason you stated.

Oh yes, very touching Nancy. NOT!

Maybe that tear in her eye is because she’s starting to see her power slipping away.

It appears the 2 million upset Americans marching in from of her office last Saturday got her attention. Now she appears to be setting them up for some sort of a Reichstag Fire event so she and her minions can don their jackboots and crack down.

If that turns out to be the case, Nancy, be afraid. Be very afraid. The American Giant is finally awakening and is starting to pay attention to who you really are and what you really represent. You would be wise to reflect on the fact you work for us. You don't rule us.

Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk were killed by a Democrat, Dan White.

Pelosi is a moron for using the wrong example.

Hey Jimmy, is it okay to use a quote from a black person while disagreeing with a white person? its okay? Thanks. I will now paraphrase the lovely and articluate Serena Williams, “Are you f***ing serious. I swear to God I’m f***king going to take this f***ing health bill and shove it down your f***ing throat, you hear that? I swear to God.”

The problem is that Milk and Moscone's killer, Dan White, was a DEMOCRAT!
