You know how upset Democrats (& their allies in the media) get when they claim that a Republican called Democrat unpatriotic, even when they have to twist the Republican’s remark to level that accusation?
Well, now we have a leading Democrat, no less than the House Speaker calling her Republican colleagues “unpatriotic.” Â I’m just waiting for the usual sources to take Nancy Pelosi to task.
(H/t the Corner.)
UPDATE:Â The Anchoress informs us that Pelosi called “the Congressional GOP unpatriotic for NOT SHOWING UP TO THE MEETINGS THEY DID NOT GET INVITED TO!”
I’m outraged, stunned, and shocked. Is this still America?
For my money, the unpatriotic Republicans should stonewall this whole fiasco and force the patriotic Democrats to pass it and wear it.
Help me out here. This is the greatest crisis since Coke changed its formula, but it can wait for the Jewish holidays to end. Are Jewish holidays non-religious? What if the Church of Scientology calls an emergency holiday?
I admit, this made me mad/angry/pissed off as well… what does Pelosi know about patriotism? I have seen no effort from her to put her country and the people above her own interests.
This resolution she is talking about supports ACORN doesn’t it?
I have several choice words for Pelosi, but I dont think theyd get past your filter.
This is totally outrageous too.

These people need to be exposed and sent to jail.
They question our patriotism, eh?
At least we on the right have actual patriotism to question.
It’s true, though. Republicans are so unpatriotic that they’re actually AGAINST tax increases.
Pelosi expressed confidence in Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) and Rep. Chris Dodd (D-CT) as negotiators in this process.
Pelosi has chutzpah, that’s for sure. Talk about your target-rich environment.
I’d give a week’s pay if W was possessed by a spirit able to make him give a coherent, spirited speech and then get him on the telly explaining exactly how we got here – kicking ass and naming names.
It’s one thing to uphold the dignity of the Oval Office and all that but there comes a time when telling the hard, cold, painful truth needs to happen.
W sends troops to kill and be killed – yet he’s too high-falutin to fire both barrels at the Murthas and Durbins who call our troops Nazis.
And now he’s asking us to spend billions in a possibly futile attempt to head off an economic collapse and… nothing more than an anemic little non-partisan “speech”. Desperate times call for blunt talk.
If he can’t grow a set and do battle then, perhaps, he should resign and let Pres. Cheney finish the job.
Isn’t Pelosi suppose to be the SPEAKER of the House. Everyones speaker? I remember how they use to hammer Newt for not being everyones speaker not just the Republican caucus.
And SO Cal is right…Frank, Dodd and others ought to be perp walked frog marched across the courthouse parking lot for all of us to jeer at. Crooks. Splashed across the newspapers should be the donations to Clinton, Dodd, Obama etc from Fannie and Freddie. Crooks. Why aren’t we demanding they pay back the money to middle Americans?
Does anyone take Pelosi seriously enough to be outraged by what she says?
She’s a pathetic joke of a Speaker.
Didn’t she and Reid say “Screw you guys, I’m going home!” at the beginning? I seem to recall Reid saying that nothing could be done. Is that patriotic?
Is it patriotic to go on Summer holiday with $4/gallon gas?
She may well rank as the worst Speaker ever, though my knowledge of House Speakers doesn’t go back very far. She’d be ever more powerful in an Obama Administration.
