Jake Tapper, "Political Punch" @ ABC News

The White House disagreed this afternoon with the contention by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, that the disruptions at town hall meetings are "un-American," as the Democratic congressional leaders contended in a USA Today op-ed this morning.

#2 Ask the White House if the protests are unbecoming of New S0cia1ist Man.


PS. Any reason why "S0cia1ist" is blocked?

#3 Nancy is in a safe district. Someone at that White House can't be sure of that for all districts [or at least 50.01 percent of those needed in 3 more years].

#5 Search for "MSNBC Anchor: ''S0cia1ist' Is Becoming the New N-word'" from Newsbusters.org. Can't link it since the Word That Must Not Be Mentioned is part of the link.

If it swims like a duck, flies like a duck, waddles like a duck and quacks like duck, it's a duck. Redistribution not based upon free economy but government dictation it is. The real question is why they shy away from embracing the title if they believe their agenda is so good for America? /rhetorical question.

#8 Heh, both words mean dysfunctional.

Know what I think is un-American, that these elected Congress critters are not required by law to participate in at least 40 hours of open participant forums in order to qualify their position in office. Every - Single - Year.
