Pelosi Calls Out Un-American Behavior

2:34 am EST August 10th, 2009 | News | 7 Comments

Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Hoyer write in USA Today

These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades.

Health care is complex. It touches every American life. It drives our economy. People must be allowed to learn the facts.

The first fact is that health insurance reform will mean more patient choice. It will allow every American who likes his or her current plan to keep it. And it will free doctors and patients to make the health decisions that make the most sense, not the most profits for insurance companies.

Reform will mean stability and peace of mind for the middle class. Never again will medical bills drive Americans into bankruptcy; never again will Americans be in danger of losing coverage if they lose their jobs or if they become sick; never again will insurance companies be allowed to deny patients coverage because of pre-existing conditions.

    Ms. Pelosi is so right.

    Questioning the patriotism of a plurality of Americans is *SURE* to turn public opinion her way. This article is the very definition of self-immolation.

    Wow. I haven’t been here for a while, but the level of consistency is just what I expected. Calling protesters Un-American?

    No. This can’t be Oliver “Freedom of Speech” Willis. I’m embarrassed for you my old friend.

    Please try and elaborate on why you think that statement by the Dem leaders is correct. They certainly did a poor job.

    Pelosi isn’t calling protesters un-American.

    What part of “Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American” don’t you understand?

    Page 425, paragraph 4. They always have problems reading that one correctly.
