Nancy Pelosi’s x-ray vision
Bookworm on Aug 05 2009 at 11:19 pm | Filed under: Uncategorized
Nancy Pelosi has announced to the world that those people opposed to Obama Care wear swastikas. In other words, she’s saying that rank and file Americans who are exercising their right to listen and speak at their representatives’ town halls are Nazis. Aside from the stupidity of that, since Nazis would have wholeheartedly backed a plan that sees health care nationalized, it’s an appalling insult to ordinary American people. After all, we associate Nazis with two things: world domination and scientific genocide. This is not a nice thing to say.
It’s also almost certainly untrue. Kevin, at Wizbang, figured out that Nancy Pelosi would probably be the last to notice something like this, not the first. The first to notice would be the Leftward-leaning blogging and media watch dogs. Interestingly, as Kevin details, they are mum on the subject.
Bottom line: Nancy’s lying again.

In accordance with Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, Pelosi is trying to define and freeze the opposition as Nazis. This appears to be a developing meme and I would not be surprised to see ACORN-type people appearing at townhall events with that type of paraphernalia and pretending to be part of the tax protest movement. These are scary people that will increasingly resort to totalitarian methods to get their way.
I think that we are only seeing the beginning of this trend – the real question in my mind is at what point it will backfire.
[...] These intimidation tactics aside (which are being challenged by Sen. John Cornyn), the thugs in the Chicago Political Machine are attempting to smear the opponents of the plan. The left is accusing protesters at town hall events of being organized astroturfers (a claim sufficiently debunked by Mary Katharine Ham), that we are “too well dressed” to be real protesters, that we are an “unruly mob“, and that we all wear swastikas.

I don’t think you folks understand the agonies I endure trying to dress properly for a town hall meeting with my congresswoman.
First, have you ever seriously tried to combine red with a Brooks Brothers suit? When you do, you start looking like a Mafia character or a high school promster.
Second, proper swastika usage requires that the armband be mounted on the upper left arm, near the heart, and that the symbol be rendered in either red or black. Again, the problem with the red. As for the black, the color too starkly clashes with the white of my pocket handkerchief. It’s enough of a vexation to make me not want to attend.
Finally, “unruly mob?” Excuse me, I am neither a hill william nor a homey. I am a civilized Brooks Brothers-wearing man who would no more participate in uncivil or mob-like activities than Nancy Pelosi would actually obey the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. It just isn’t done.
Pelosi has x-Ray. It doesn’t matter what you wear, Martel, she can see through it.
