SAN FRANCISCO -- Federal police on Tuesday arrested 12 supporters of a single-payer health care system who entered House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco offices and refused to leave until they talked to the congresswoman.

Police arrested them for creating a disturbance on federal property nearly three hours after they entered Pelosi's offices. Pelosi was not in the office and did not talk to them by telephone.

The protesters, who are in favor of a system administered by the federal government but delivered by private health care providers, entered the waiting room of Pelosi's offices about 11:45 a.m. and were arrested around 2:30 p.m.,

I’m betting she goes into hiding tomorrow, when the Bachmann anti-Obamacare protesters are supposed to converge on DC.

Leftist stunt.

Anyone with half a brain knows she was on tv in Washington.

LOL! It used to be that people protested because they wanted the right to vote or the right to ride the bus or something else that was a fairly simple idea. Today it’s “We want publicly controlled privately administered health insurance”. You can’t tell the protesters with out a scorecard.

OK Pelosi let’s hear all the rhetoric about “Nazis” etc, that you flung at the Tea Party members. What’s that, I can’t hear you.

Didn’t the same thing happen a couple weeks ago, or was that Barbara Boxer’s office?

“The protesters, who are in favor of a system administered by the federal government but delivered by private health care providers, . . . “


In a system administered by the federal government, it cannot be truly said that there are any private health care providers.

Pelosi is introduced to a REAL angry mob. LOL. Will she call them "AstroTurf"? Will she have the guts? Was she scared of her own evil spawn?
