Obama supporters boo Pledge of Allegiance
I try to keep away from political issues (so far) but this is just too good an example of the left's disdain for the country which gives them everything. They are of course scum and traitorous dogs.
"At the mere mention of doing the pledge there were groans and boos. Then, when the district chair put the idea of doing the Pledge of Allegiance up to a vote, it was overwhelmingly voted down. One might more accurately say the idea of pledging allegiance to the flag (of which there was only one in the room, by the way, on some delegate’s hat) was shouted down."

Seattle follies: Obama supporters boo Pledge of Allegiance, Hillary-promoting celeb Sean Astin derides “Barack Hussein Obama”

Ah, Seattle. Dear old Seattle. Moonbatty to the core. Eli Sanders at the left-wing Stranger chronicles the legislative caucus in the 43rd district (McDerm territory):
When Clinton’s surrogate finally showed up he was… Sean Astin??? Yes, the man who played Samwise Gangee in Lord of the Rings had flown up to rally the Hillary Clinton troops. Which made very little sense, given that the type of people who show up for legislative district caucuses on a Saturday don’t really need a celebrity (or semi-celebrity) to motivate them to take political action.
Astin’s speech was most memorable for this line: “Should Obama get the nomination I will become a massive Barack Hussein Obama supporter.”
As you know, I am not a fan of this tactic.
But let’s see if the punditocracy and politicos are consistent. When conservative talk show host Bill Cunningham referred to Obama the same way Astin did, he was drummed out of the McCain camp.
What will Hillary do?
Sanders continues:
Hussein? Eyebrows shot up. Brows furrowed. Heads turned. A friend in the audience texted me: “Hussein!?” I’m not sure what Astin was up to with that line, but someone probably should have told him that Seattle’s 43rd District is the last place in the U.S. where subliminal messaging around Obama’s middle name is likely to move Democrats toward Clinton.
Heh. Indeed.
The crowning moment:
Further proof of this: There was some time to kill as multiple tallies of the delegates and alternates were done, and when the time-killer of taking audience questions had run its course and the idea of teling jokes had been nixed, someone suggested doing the Pledge of Allegiance to pass the time. (Are you listening, right-wing bloggers? This is going to get good.)

Can’t wait for the Democrat National Convention…
