On Thursday, August 12,anti-torture and anti-war activists came to disrupt Pelosi’s book promotion at the San Francisco’s Cowell Theatre. Pelosi was promoting her new book “Know Your Power- a Message to America’s Daughter.” While speaking, activists yelled and disrupted Pelosi’s talk, calling her “traitor” and yelling “torture,” “impeach.” Two people were escorted out by security personnel, and arguments erupted between Pelosi supporters and the activists.

Pelosi tried to keep speaking and avoid the disruption but the yelling grew stronger. Pelosi called on people interrupting her to “use their energy to get Obama elected, so we can stop the war,” but one activist answered back saying “this is what we elected you to do.” When Pelosi asked the crowd to be civil a woman answered, “Torture is not civil.”

Many Activists accuse Pelosi for not stopping the war in Iraq, and for knowing in 2002 about torture being conducted on detainees and not opposing it. Pelosi has stated in the past her opposition to impeachment of President Bush saying if somebody know of crime "that the president had committed, that would be a different story.”
