What I got from what she said is that there are people who might take some
of the messages set forth by people at the tea parties and act on them. My
understanding of the tea parties is that they are protests against taxes.

Some of the signs say things like:

Obama's plan = white slavery

The zoo is the place for monkeys, the white house has an African. (something
like that)

There are lots of more extreme messages. Pelosi is saying that the great
thing about this country is free speech, but people need to take
responsibility for what they say. There are lots of crazies in the world.
