Surber this morning:

Democrat Nancy Pelosi cried like a little girl that those mean, un-American people on the other side frighten her.
Pelosi sobbed: “This kind of rhetoric is just, is really frightening and it created a climate in which we, violence took place and… I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made.”
We already have had violence. One of the goons that supports Obamacare bit off the finger of an opponent. The victim was 65.
And how about the union thugs who beat up a townhall protester so badly that he was hospitalized?
As for killing, an anti-abortion protester was shot several times and killed while protesting near a high school.
Pelosi was silent.
Indeed. But understand… this kind of double standard has been a part of leftist politics for decades. What is annoying and dangerous is that Democrats have to be given power to demonstrate the levels of intimidation, double talk and just plain corruption they bring to the table, before the American people will believe it. The damage that causes us as a nation, is just now starting to be felt.
Powerline looks at this as well, as does Confederate Yankee, Jules Crittenden and Megan McArdle, who after yesterday’s pasting she took from us, deserves kudos for commenting:
McArdle
I’m not sure what Nancy Pelosi is trying to say in this video. Is she furthering the largely unsubstantiated claim that the American right is planning a reign of terror? Or is she trying to tell us that Owosso was just the beginning? Either way, this doesn’t seem like it’s adding much to the national conversation.
What nobody will dare tell you about Pelosi’s comments is that they constitute a thinly veiled mobilization call of those who would do violence to support socialism.
Sorry, this is what it comes down to. In a way, it’s the same kind of effect is calling those who oppose Obama “racist “… because the natural response to such things is for violence to occur in response to that ‘racism’ as it has so often in the past.
Now, it should be said, that such calls and such violent acts that result from such calls, are not working in support of installing socialism as an answer for health care. Rather, such actions have had the opposite effect. But as Surber points out, they don’t have any other arguments to bring to the table.
Such scare tactics and intimidation mark Pelosi’s side of the argument. They cannot win by arguing the facts or by arguing the logic, so they must shed crocodile tears and tug at heart-strings to work up emotions for this dead parrot of a health plan.
The press should call her on this.
Agreed, but they will not. After all, they have been part of the plan for some time now.
Indeed, watch this: I dare to say to you based on the undeniable history of the thing…
If and when leftist violent support for socialist health care becomes a larger reality than the leftist violence already listed above by Don, (And I suspect it will) , the cycle of violence will be blamed directly on those opposing the left… all on the ‘vast right wing conspiracy” and the left’s history of violence in this and other matters will be ignored outright, as will the thinly veiled calls to that violence by the Democrat leadership such as Pelosi.
