Capitol Hill Tea Party Seeks To 'Drive The Liberals Crazy' With Pledge Of Allegiance


At the Capitol Hill Tea Party just now, Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) stepped up to lead the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance -- which he said drives the liberals crazy.

"And so as we now renew our commitment to the Red, White and Blue, let us with boldness proclaim the fact that we are one nation under God," said Akin. "It is altogether fitting that we should do this -- and it drives the liberals crazy."

The crowd laughed, and joined Akin in the Pledge, with a genuine shout given to the key words, "...one nation, UNDER GOD, with liberty..."

Other Republican members of Congress were on stage, too: Minority Leader John Boehner (OH), Minority Whip Eric Cantor (VA), Roy Blunt (MO), Jeb Hensarling (TX), Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA), Michele Bachmann (MN) -- who was a key organizer of the event -- Virginia Foxx (NC), Ginny Brown-Waite (FL), Jean Schmidt (OH), Sue Myrick (NC), and many more.

2. My daughter takes the pledge every morning in Kindergarten. It is cute when she does it.
Not so cute with teabaggers, though.
And we liberals go to church. My husband is a church organist. They can go suck it.

3. Same pledge says 'liberty and justice for all', yet they vote to deny rights.

Who are they pledging their allegiance to? Glenn Beck?
He does look like a tin pan dictator.

5. Republican God = Corporate America
All the freaks are there, I see.

There ought to be a law preventing psychopaths from serving in Congress. Obviously, this is encouraged on the right.

8. The Tea Party isn't even being carried on Faux News
I don't get C-SPAN-3 but I caught about five minutes of it on regular C-SPAN before they went to something else. I flipped through the other cable channels and only caught about a minute of it on Fox News before they went on to something else, cutting off Jon Voigt in mid-schpeel.
