Find a new game Nancy. Every time you have someone who disagrees with you they are not un-American!
But, for sure you are a Hypocrite!
Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer claimed such behavior is "simply un-American."
The "un-American" dig was a sign the debate is heating up. In a tight spot, Pelosi is known for employing tough rhetoric and accusations to muscle her way out.
Back in September 2008, Pelosi used similar language to complain about Republicans who weren't showing up to talks on a Wall Street bailout package.
Yet the language Pelosi is using for health care critics is nothing like the language she used to describe anti-war protesters criticized by war supporters as unpatriotic.
Pelosi, who led efforts to withdraw from Iraq before troops had finished the job, tolerated anti-war hecklers on several occasions.
"It's always exciting," she said of protesters who interrupted a meeting in January 2006, according to an account in the San Francisco Chronicle. "This is democracy in action. I'm energized by it, frankly."
At an event in June 2007, she told anti-war protesters "just go for it, I respect your enthusiasm," according to another account.
