Another Crowd Overrides Moderator To Say Pledge
Liberty Juice ^ | 10/28/2010 | Chris Bounds

In a deja vu moment, a second crowd interrupts a Leave of Women Voters moderator to say the Pledge of Allegiance.

A few days ago we posted a video of a crowd jumping to their feet to say the Pledge. That happened after an audience member asked the ACORN activist League of Women Voters moderator "Are we going to say the Pledge of Allegiance?", which she promptly stated "No we are not. That’s not part of the proposal tonight." The crowd defied her reply and stood to say the Pledge anyway.

That same incident happened again as the debate between Democrat congressional candidate Dan Connolly and Republican incumbent Tim Murphy was about to begin. Murphy asked the moderator if they could say the pledge. The moderator, another LWV member, hesitated before saying it would cut into the time for the debate. As she gave her explanation the crowd stood up and gave the Pledge.

This is in my back yard. I love it. As republican Tim Murphy (who is coasting to victory BTW) said, if the flag is political, then we have problems...

Too bad they didn’t follow up by carrying the Acorn/LWV hag out and throwing her in the lake.

Notice that brilliant, intellectual, really reallly bright woman who said, with a wink, that the Pledge was being used for political purposes.

(Those people who like to say the Pledge are really evil right-wingers who are knuckle-dragging morons.)

/s/

IMHO

Murphy is my congress critter and is a good guy.

He really understands the economics involved with the Marcellus Shale {natural gas that runs through NY, PA, WV, VA & OH} and is against oppressive taxes on this industry.

This natural gas find has produced over 50,000 new jobs in PA in the past three years, and what does our demonRAT gov. FAT eddie do?

By executive order, places all state owned land off limits to further drilling.

I'm a hunter and use the state game lands and these gas wells don't harm a thing and produce much needed gas, wealth and jobs.

The animals don't really care that the well are there.

Obama and his socialist supporters and radicals have an unleashed an 'undeclared' Cultural Civil War on this country.

The 'We The People' common citizens and patriots throughout the land have launched a political battle to take our country back from the 'enemy' (Obama's choice of words, not mine). This 'Declaration of Independence' was made on April 15, 2009 and has spread to all 50 states.

"D-Day" for the invasion is Nov. 2, 2010.

The battle gain additional momentum, and will continue for two more years until have completely defeated and wiped out the 'enemy' and we have conquered our nation's capital.

"VW-Day" ("Victory in Washington") will be Nov. 6, 2012.

people are finaly figuring out that the government can not stop the masses when we band together and send them the big “phock you”.

Trying to prosecute everyone seems to be a bit of a problem for them.

I guess the league of women voters is trying to impose goal 13 of the communist goals for America.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

The Pledge takes 22 seconds, tops.

My BIL, when I told him of these incidents & sent him the video, called all of the audience members who recited the pledge “lemmings”.

Anyone see the irony in a Dem making that statement?
