Very true, then she continues on to say the leaders should face the  
consequences of the actions of their followers, who will she decide the  
"leaders" 
are and what punishment will she demand?  Also, following her  line of 
thinking, shouldn't some big players be charged for the indiscretions of  the 
acorn workers? They are again laying the blame on lowly worker bees, but the  
heads should pay the price. Same for these environmental groups carrying out 
 assaults on people and property. It would also apply to leaders of the pro 
life  movement when lowly followers kill abortion doctors etc. The problem 
with this  line is that we don't normally hold someone responsible for the 
crimes of  another, particularly when they were unaware of the perpetrators 
intent. I do  think some responsibility exists, when specific incitement is 
evident, but that  is pretty rare.

I'm not  saying that people did not (inappropriately at times) go off on
President  Bush. What I attempted to communicate is that Pelosi was stating
that  people have the constitutional right to free speech. When people use  
a
right, they need to accept the responsibility of exercising that  right.
