The Pelosi scrap mirrors an earlier fight. In April, the Department of Homeland Security set off a firestorm of protest when it acknowledged it had produced a report titled: "Right-Wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," which warned that right-wing groups could be spurred to violence by the election of the nation's first African-American president.
Republicans — still upset at Pelosi's charge that disruptions by town hall protesters were "un-American" — were quick to take issue.
“Speaker Pelosi is right that the American people are upset, but it is her own words that continue to fuel voter frustration in America," Sessions said in a statement sent to POLITICO. "No longer content with criticizing concerned citizens for being ‘un-American,’ the Speaker is now likening genuine opposition to assassination. Such insulting rhetoric not only undermines the credibility of her office, but it underscores the desperate attempt by her party to divert attention away from a failing agenda."
I felt she was sincere and her emotions heartfelt.
America IS a melting pot. Embrace the present and future or be left in the past.

Of course when Bush was in office, you guys had every right to riot in the streets, burn cars and break in to businesses!Of course YOU don't have to embrace the present. I'm more and more amazed at how people on the left and in the media rewrite history in their own minds. Its like the last 8 years never happened.

Perhaps the VERY REASON peeople are "this way" is directly BECAUSE of the last 8 years.
I'll be curious to see the level of outrage from the right-wing neocons after 4 or 8 years if the vitriol after less than one year is any indication.
I endured. The shoe is on the other foot pal.
If there was no periodic shift of party power, then this really isn't a democracy, or republic or whatever the constitutionalists like to call it.

She should know, considering she's part of the cabal that is destroying the world. She knows full well that the reaper will be coming to collect his dues from her and her "buddies" soon enough.
And by reaper I mean peasants with pitchforks...
