What’s “not true” about it? From the sound on the video, a guy in the crowd asks aloud if they are going to do the pledge. It seems pretty straighforward. There is no disrespect meant to the guy that asked the question, anyway.

In the audio that I heard, the moderator asks if there's a point of order being raised. That indicates to me that the guy in the audience was recognized by the moderator to ask his question rather than him just shouting it out.

I think you are being too touchy and obscuring the REAL problem here. While you want to worry about “asking” or “yelling” the REAL issue is that these leftists want to stop people from saying the pledge. But you go ahead and talk about a meaningless point and we’ll all talk about the real issue. Sheese.

What you and I see as the REAL issue isn't necessarily the same thing that others see as the REAL issue.

To the leftists, the REAL issue is that this man rudely disrupted the meeting by shouting out his question. You seem to want to obscure (or ignore) the fact that was clearly not the case. Leaving that impression out there unchallenged lets the leftists ignore the reason for his asking the question. Removing the phony "issue" of his method of asking lets people see the REAL issue -- the LOWV's not wanting to recite the pledge.

I was at the debate. I must say, that was the most beautiful thing I have seen in my life. That doesn’t say much since I’m only 26, but it was great. It has been aired on the Glenn Beck program, as well as, the Hannity Show.
This is the video I took:
