San Francisco Gets the Vapors Over a Pelosi Protest

A local Irvine politician attended a recent protest of an appearance by Nancy Pelosi and his attire has drawn critical reviews from San Fran Nan's home crowd:

That protesters on both sides of the political spectrum equate America's leaders with dictators like Hitler isn't new. But critics were shocked when such a comparison was made by an elected official.

Last Friday, a group rented a room at the Irvine Hilton to protest the Democratic Party of Orange County's 15th Annual Harry Truman Awards and headliner House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Joining the demonstration was Irvine Councilman and Assembly candidate Steven Choi.

An OC Register photographer caught Choi roaming the Hilton lobby before Pelosi's address. Choi is seen in a suit, tie and a depiction of Pelosi as Joseph Stalin, the Soviet dictator who killed millions under his Great Terror campaign. Another photo shows Choi posing with a woman who is wearing a Pelosi-SS guard illustration.

YAAAWWWWNNN.

The left decided to bring foreign dictators into the American political game when they started comparing Bush and Cheney to Hitler. They started it, and now they're reaping what they started.

Big deal.
