SAN JOSE, Calif. -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) drew vocal backlash Saturday for her answers to questions about National Security Agency data surveillance and whistleblower Edward Snowden.

Speaking at a gathering of progressive activists at Netroots Nation, Pelosi weighed in on recent controversy over domestic spying, claiming it was unfair to label this President George W. Bush's "fourth term." She argued that Democrats had brought increased oversight to the NSA programs by giving Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Courts -- or FISA courts -- a role in the process.

As she spoke about the need to "balance" privacy and security, a man stood and yelled, "it's not a balance, it makes us less safe." The man continued to decry "secret courts," and staffers began to escort him from the room.

Pelosi said it was fine for him to stay, but the man was eventually ejected. On the way out, some members of the audience began to shout at the staffers to "leave him alone."

The conversation then shifted to Snowden, who on Friday was charged with espionage over his leaking of classified documents to media outlets.

Pelosi said that Snowden "did violate the law in terms of releasing those documents," a remark that elicited boos and yells throughout the ballroom. One man screamed, "You suck!"

Earlier this month, Pelosi said she thought Snowden should be prosecuted for his role in the leaks.

I dislike this women a lot, but Why do I picture you to be an ANGRY old man who hates anything liberals do or say.

I'm sorry, but your generation is what got this country where it is today. Why should the younger generations allow y'all to fix the mess you got us in.

I wouldn't be surprised I see an Independent become the president in my lifetime.

I'd say 40-50s.

I am a strong believer that the Baby Boomers are the ones who got us into this mess and need to step aside and allow us to fix this mess. Though it wont happen. I just pray it doesn't get worse.

Question IS....where'd you come up with this " belief" ?? and WHO is US? The real problem lies within the elected officials who say what the people need to hear, then once elected....do as they please.

RIGHT ON BRUDDER !^ TAPS you really need to learn to respect the experience you clearly lack..

Listen to us we want to help

40 was a long long time ago

Should i kill my self or just happily step aside and watch you make the same mistakes i have seen 3 or 4 times already?

Quit drinking the Kool Aid

All that Sugar will kill you

What got us into this mess is Free Spending Liberals

They spent the money and put it on Your Credit Card

I protested and fought for the future

And you turn your back on me and follow the real villian

I am one that agrees free spending liberals was the problem. That view changed with George W and why I call myself a Independent Conservative. What he and his cronies did in 8 years we will be paying for the rest of my life.

Geeze, so I'm to blame for everything even tho I've worked hard, employed a lot of people and invested in my local community to make it better. I won't even get into the taxes I've paid as a business owner.

WTF?

Congrats on your business and what you did for your community, However I do blame the people who elected these officials. One voice is all it takes. This could have been STOPPED.

Okay, so let's do some quick basic mathematics: Taps blames Baby Boomers and George W ( who I'm NO fan of either) . And has gained all of his enlightenment over the course of 27 yrs of being alive.
So now the basic mathematics.....when GWB took office in the year 2000 Taps would have been what 14-15 yrs old? And yet he apparently has sage like wisdom and knowledge when it comes to what's wrong....who's responsible and how to fix it. Got it!! 🌫

Taps, Jack is right. You can't blame this mess on just one party or generation. Are we going to blame blacks & latinos for Obama's election & re-election?
Er, ok, disregard that.
We've been electing self-serving yesmen/women for a looooong time. Anyone with a fresh independent outlook can never get elected to a major office.

The fact is, we've had almost 16 years of the Bush- Obama "presidency". 17 trillion in debt by these two morons which enriched foreign countries, banks, military vendors, and a few road/bridge contractors. But don't worry, things will get better once Hillary gets her meaty hooks into our country in 2016. We should be firmly entrenched in Syria by then or at war with Iran. Get ready to see more photo ops with amputees.

In all seriousness, live it up now. I don't see anything ahead except much hardship and bloodshed.

Anyone see Jodi Arias last night on Lifetime?

It's not that hard to see the writing on the wall. The hard part is how to fix it. When you got a party that feels there way is the only way nothing will be accomplished.

One Voice is all it takes and should have taken. Baby Boomers have had this label for 50+ years. So in those 50 so called years, How did they not see the writing on the wall.



Now politicians want to talk E-commerce and Internet Sales. If anything this made a level playing field for consumers. We can sit here and talk small business this and that, but that is not the problem here.

This is just another way for government to spend more and more.


I may be young, but I am open to opinions and conversation. I don't know everything, but I do have a good mindset and belief on what I feel is wrong with this country.
