Nancy Pelosi Protested at America's Future Now Conference, Pick a Side....

by the Left Coast Rebel

.....can you? That's the first thing I thought when I saw the video of hecklers heckling Queen Pelosi at a recent America's Future Now conference. When I saw the blip on Fox News this morning I nearly jumped up only to be disappointed to find that the malcontents were not Constitutional grumblers but purity-complainer, far-leftists:



Ed Morrisey has this on the identity of the Pelosi-agitators:

The protesters, wearing orange shirts and chanting “Our homes, not nursing homes,” did not let up until Pelosi finished her address and left the stage with security guards. The protesters said they were members of ADAPT, an activist group that advocates for disability rights and is fighting for passage of the Community Choice Act.

They weren’t the only protesters. Code Pink also demonstrated in protest of the continuing war in Afghanistan and our support for Israel. Given that only 19% of the American public backed the side of the pro-Palestinian flotilla organizers, Code Pink must really want to see a housecleaning in November.
This video at the Washington Post really captures the scene well (0:20 in particular, gotta love the crazy in the wheelchair):

    It's hard to choose sides when the side that's throwing stuff at Nancy throw like girls and can't get anything near her. I'll just take solace in the left coming apart at the seams and fighting amongst themselves
