Over at Instapundit.com Glenn Reynolds and his reader Kevin Greene have this to say:
SEPTEMBER 17, 2009
LOSING IT: Nancy Pelosi chokes up about political violence, doesn’t mention Ken Gladney [a black conservative in St. Louis who was badly beaten outside a town hall meeting there last month by SEIU members]. “Pelosi wants to silence opposition since she cannot out-argue it, and her implied reference to the murders of Milk and Moscone as somehow comparable to political opposition to the Obama administration is flat-out despicable.” And desperate.
UPDATE: Reader Kevin Greene writes:
It should be noted that Harvey Milk and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone were not killed by a constituent angry about unfair laws they passed.
They were assassinated by a fellow Democrat politician- city councilman Dan White, who resigned complaining about his low government salary and angry that Moscone wouldn’t reappoint him to his hack job.
If Pelosi is afraid … she must be afraid of her own fellow politicians in the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives.
Or maybe hotheads from the SEIU. Which would make sense, given the Gladney experience. . . .

Speaker Pelosi didn’t rise to the number three position in our government by being afraid of anything or anyone.
