@ABC
A reporter asks Nancy Pelosi if she "hates the president."
"I don't hate anybody," she says in a strong response. "As a Catholic, I resent your using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me...Don't mess with me when it comes to words like that." http://abcn.ws/2RoY6eA

(81,283 posts)Cheap trick trying to bait Pelosi. She could eat your breakfast, like much, dinner, and midnight snack, and come back and do it all again the next day and day after that, Rosen.
Sinclair, eh? Enjoy your diminishing national exposure, dude.

soldierant
(6,880 posts)to distinguish the human from his or her actions, and to love the one while hating the other. And also mentally and morally competent to know that love and hate in that context are not emotional responses, but choices.
I'll bet she prays every day for God to give him wisdom and courage, maybe eve compassion Unfortunately, God isn't just saying "No," he's saying , "Are you f'n kidding me?"

I'm not Catholic, but I'm pleased our leader has a faith she is devoted to and presents a counter-narrative to the fake Christianity of Franklin Graham, trump, Pence, etc.
Eyeball_Kid
(7,432 posts)but it wasnt about Catholicism. It was a statement that all comers need to heed. Rejecting actions based on hate on hate is something to which all religions espouse. Pelosi was right to slam the question and bury it.

(1,115 posts)Most of my catholic acquaintances are G.O.P. They do not even
know who Nancy Pelosi is. They are going to discover she is catholic
and our president had better mince his words and learn to say
"Yes Ma'am".
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)Is Catholic...then we will win Ohio? Cool.
erlewyne
(1,115 posts)with catholic backgrounds. There are many catholic grade schools but
the high schools are predominately secular (non committal). Ohio has 88
counties with a catholic central high school (this is not 100 %). So, these
catholic high school students in remote locations usually have the there big
game against a catholic school that they are unable to attend (money).
This revolves into a rift. With Pelosi, our most powerful democrat, saying
she is a devout catholic and prays for Trump sends a message that catholic
in Ohio are not bound to the prayer-less president.
I concur with Pelosi even though I am a "non of the above faith".

(8,051 posts)This morning before getting ready for work I was listening to Stephanie Miller on my computer with Nancy on the T.V. quietly in the background. I then saw in my peripheral vision her leaving the podium and then turn around and go back to that podium (at that point I paused Stephanie and turned up the T.V). OH. MY. GOD! What a moment.
