Just last week I recall reading a Nancy Pelosi op-ed in USA Today discussing the ‘un-American’-ness of protesters as they held their signs and shouted out their anger over Obama’s health care plan. She also mentions in this video that protesters are ‘carrying swastikas’ as if to discredit the hordes of town hall attendees with a yet-unconfirmed reference to what may have been a single person.

I don’t recall Nancy complaining when Bush was depicted as Hitler, complete with a swastika scrawled on his forehead. In fact, I have never seen so many swastikas on display as I did during the last four years of Bush’s presidency, and I was a punk rocker in the 80’s. Selective memory? How about ‘Arrogant Selective Memory’.

And as I suspected would happen eventually, this morning I browsed the news and found a collection of video clips wherein Nancy Pelosi expresses her love and appreciation for protesters and disruptors. In a sparkling moment of contradiction and self-condemnation, Nancy is seen praising and welcoming shouts, signs and disruption, and goes so far as to mockingly ‘appreciate’ that Bush is fighting for their right to do so.

Watch this amazing video of Nancy Pelosi, and see for yourself that she is an Arrogant partisan politician who fends only for her party, and not for the will of the people. She contradicts herself with the prevailing wind, and takes advantage of opportunities merely to promote herself. In just a few short years she seems to have forgotten that she was a defender of free speech and an advocate of opinionated outrage.

Now, it seems, she is above all that, and when people are outraged about what she wants to do, she assures us the very same behavior is ‘un-American’, and that the movement is ‘astro-turf’ (which is the new way to refer to a grass-roots movement that you think is organized and paid for by corporate deep pockets and shadowing conspiracies).

So, which is it, Nancy? Protesters practicing free speech or swastika-flaunting communist organizations bent on ruining our world? Whichever you say, we’ll just wait for the wind to change again to hear your next opinion.

Way to go, Nancy; you are still an Arrogant Jerk.
