You have to wonder about Pelosi. Is she even paying attention to reality? Does she realize that her attitude, more than others is what has people pissed at congress. She, like congress isn't listening. Now she is alarmed that her words and attitudes has made her as hated and despised?

Do you think her comments are valid, or just BS?

Should she and Glenn Beck go to survivors counselling together?

Seriously though, I don't think it's wrong for anyone to suggest dialing down the hateful rhetoric that's going on.

Where was this suggestion from 2001-2009? I don't recall hearing it back then.

liberals are more sensitive and emotional, and they whine more. After all, that thin skin just can't take it.

See: Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin. When they ask to be left alone, or complain about personal attacks, are they overly sensitive, emotional, and whiney?

This suggestion was made repeatedly in those years. It was drowned out by cries of "Bushitlermonkey!" and "stolen election!" and "9/11 was inside job!" among other vitriol.

This doesn't justify behavior now that the shoe is on the other foot, but it does serve to highlight how widespread short term and selective memory have become.

What "statements and comments of late" made by House Speaker Pelosi do you find troubling or problematic?

What "statements and comments of late" made by House Speaker Pelosi cause you to question whether her "comments are valid, or just BS"?
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.

Crying while denouncing those who disagree with the administrations assessment on what a great healthcare bill by calling them nazi's etc. Her whining that it reminds her of the 70's! It's amazing that she doesn't realize how she comes across. She is responsible for the most part of why congress gets such low marks. Neither her or the rest of the 'leadership' has made any effort to listen. They do like to tell us what they are going to do, but how about listening to others? Two years of silence has been too long. She is responsible for the low ratings.

I think dcmacdaddy was asking for specific examples so that we'd have something to talk about, Badk0sh?

Correct!

That is why I explicitly quoted BadKosh's post in my question. Because he complained about specific "statements and comments" made by Speaker Pelosi I wanted to know what specific "statements and comments" of hers he found to be cause for concern.

She didn't call anyone a Nazi. Also, learn how to use an apostrophe.

Maybe if Conservatives were a little more in tune with their emotions, they could confide in their wives instead of cheating on them.

If conservatives were a little more in tune with their emotions, wouldn't there be a few too many dems with bullet holes in them?

I take serious issue with the entire premise of this thread.

"Is Pelosi going crazy?" assumes that she wasn't crazy to begin with. She has always been insane. Please try again.
