I see a lot fewer of this sort of thing than I did at the anti-bush  
rallies, frankly. I remember all the nazi signs, baby killer signs, burning  
effigies, etc. I don't see the big deal with the current round of protests,  
other than the fact that the former protesters are now being protested 
against  
and don't like it.

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.
