Have you heard? Nancy Pelosi is just another warmonger for HALLIBURTON! (San Fran Chronicle):
Her opposition to the Iraq war may have earned her a reputation as a radical lefty in Washington.She goes on to say that the money is "for the troops" which her constituency doesn't buy...which just goes to show you that even the Hate America First crowd realizes that you can't support the troops without supporting the mission.
But when Democratic minority leader Nancy Pelosi came home to hold a town hall meeting in San Francisco on Saturday, she was greeted like a pro-establishment warmonger.
Dozens of heckling, sign-toting anti-war protesters tried to take center stage at the congresswomen's town hall forum on national security -- calling for an immediate de-funding of the Iraq war and impeachment proceedings against President George Bush.
But the practiced Pelosi didn't miss a beat.
"This war in Iraq has been a grotesque mistake in my view -- a tragedy," Pelosi told a crowd of about 1,000 that overflowed the Marina Middle School Auditorium for the event.
Yet, as she explained that she doesn't want to immediately cut funding for those troops already in Iraq, about 40 protesters marched to the front of the stage. They faced the crowd, waving peace signs and a pink banner saying "Nancy, stop funding the war."
Hecklers in the audience chanted "No more money for war."
Pelosi just kept on talking.
