Congresswoman Betty McCollum is claiming that conservatives are inciting hate, racism, and intolerance by showing the world that she has no respect for our pledge. In my expose of her disrespect for the pledge, I also stated that she is a hypocritical Christian because she runs around using her Catholic faith as a reason she should be re-elected. So she claims I am also attacking her faith. It all began on Sunday when I posted a video of the Congresswoman from Minnesota's 4th District leading the Pledge of Allegiance on the floor of the House of Representatives. In the video you can clearly see her omitting the words "under God" from the oath. After I posted the video, it went viral on the web. Even Fox News picked it up and ran the CSPAN video with the story that shows her intentionally omitting "under God." It wasn't long before the blogosphere jumped on the bandwagon by the thousands and ran with the story. Now, the Congresswoman from Minnesota is trying to do damage control.
Well since then, I have been in contact with some of her constituents who are doing all they can to get her defeated by supporting her challenger, conservative Republican and law professor, Teresa Collett. Then today I was given some information about a certain individual who has been making the rounds on the internet and spamming the blogs that have carried the video and written about Betty's disrespect for the pledge. This individual is using the name MN04, but the email address is ( District4.Minnesota@mail.house.gov ) a government address. So now we have a United States Congresswoman's campaign staff using official government equipment to attack citizens while doing damage control. Below is the comment that has been left on thousands of sites that posted the video of her disrespecting the Pledge of Allegiance on the floor of the Peoples House.
"Congresswoman McCollum has led the Pledge of Allegiance on the House floor several times before. Check out http://mccollum.house.gov/pledge. It's all there."
For any tech savvy individuals out there, here is the IP address { 143.231.249.141 } from the computer that sent the damage control comment. It seems to have come straight from her Washington DC House of Representative office. Below are just a few of the places I found that are being hit with her damage control comment.
When I first attempted to check out the damage control site that was posted with her comment, I was first unable to get. Then I decided to drop the word "pledge" from the end of the URL they are passing out and I was able to get in to McCollum's official government financed web site. It's my guess they were attempting to throw me off with the wrong URL in hopes that I would just shrug my shoulders and forget about it. It is the same URL they have been using on all sites they are spamming with the message. When I did check out her site I noticed they have a disclaimer that states that she honors the pledge and if you read the whole letter it says she has even led the pledge other times in the House. However, that is not all the letter says, check it and the videos she offers for her defense below.....
(There are 3 videos McCollum offers in her defense that you need to see. After watching them, I am even more convinced of her disrespect.)

I think it's time we give her an earful, at least an e-mail basket full. What do you all say, ready to spam her e-mail box?
Betty McCollum is spamming me and anyone else who posted the CSPAN video of her disrespecting the Pledge of Allegiance by omitting the words, “under God”. She also posted 3 videos in her defense and a letter, all of which I have posted where she claims we are wrong and that she honors the Pledge. Fact is she says, conservatives and Teaparty members are inciting hate and even guilty of sending death threats to her.......

She deserves to get hammered over this.
Guitly!
Oh yes it is all there. In the first video, we have no proof that she said the words 'under God' because the video does not cut to her face until after that part of the pledge is recited. In the second video she recites the words but looks very uncomfortable in their delivery.
She literally chokes on the words in the third video.
And in all three (and the latest video that went viral) she recites, "I pledge the alegiance, to the flag..."
What the hell is up with that? I pledge the allegiance? Where was she taught the Pledge?
Bump!

I am thinking she went to retraining school she decided to go to Washington as a Democrat by attending the, “Communists Are Us” training school in SF.
Just saw on HANNITY where Christine O’Donnell (R)didn’t even know what has been said about her today. Sean gave her a pass after commenting that he had heard more against her today. COD said she had been busy in meetings and appearances and didn’t know what had been said against her today. Sean did not inform her or follow up.
COD has dunderheads for a staff to miss breaking news that’s up on Drudge no less. Maybe time differences between her interview with Sean and the front page of Drudge, but exasperating.
BUMP!

My take on it was that she didn’t want to give any more exposure or credence to the slander and politely indicated such.
How can she claim to be Catholic when she voted in favor of taxpayer-funded abortion?
What a nasty piece of work she is.
Let's quit wasting time with this pledge thing and let's point out that McCollum has the voting record of a Marxist bitch.
Amazing, look at all those government statistical numbers from her House office account.
My mother would be proud of her boy from Fargo, if she knew that a United states Congresswoman was attacking her son for telling the truth.
God is good. Yes he is.
What does McCollum have to do with COD?
Because obviously we hit a nerve.
We call her a Marxist and she says nothing.
We show her omitting the words under God and she sets her staff on citizens like me, Teaparty members and conservatives in general.
I think this Pledge thing will bring her down, because it hit a nerve with her.
Two words.
