GASP! Under GOD? OMG! - what - ever.

Did TMP give this much coverage to the GLBT march on Washington where there were tens of thousands?

Just curious.

I don't even know what to say! It is beyond batshit crazy.

"The Onion has become real." - i really just cracked up at that.

Jesus would have favored universal healthcare. He didn't tell Lazarus to get pre-approval and to meet his deductible first.

Ahh Todd Akin. This guy is useless, and is generally seen as a seat filler. The district he represents went heavily for Bush during 2000 and '04, but were evenly divided between McCain and Obama during the last election. The only reason he won in this last election was because the Democratic party did field a decent candidate.

His district is largely suburban, and while there are some people who respond to this fringe insanity, most people roll their eyes. This type of behavior is going to seriously hurt him in the 2010 election.

PLEASE ANYTHING BUT THE PLEDGE OF AMERICA. LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME! I'M MELTING, MELTING, MELTING........

If only the 'baggers knew the Pledge was written by a SOCIALIST - Frances Bellamy, cousin of utopian socialist author Edward Bellamy (Looking Backward).

It's Freedom Fries all over again.

Nothing sends a chill down my spine like the Pledge of Allegiance

Eric, did they actually omit the word "indivisible" from the pledge as your quote is rendered? Because that would just add a whole new dimension to their craziness.

And, yes, I am myself driven crazy -- at least a little bit -- by the fact that a handful of 1950's congressional douchebags (the forebears of these folks, I'm sure) took it upon themselves to edit our pledge. And in doing so chose to insert language that is not only inherently divisive (at least to my ears), but which also contextually disrupts and deemphasizes the word "indivisible" as the thrust and substantive meaning of the pledge.

I wonder how many would-be secessionists are in that crowd.

Meanwhile, back at Lieberman's Second House (CIGNA), Profits for the 3rd Quarter rose a mere 92 Percent!!

Sounds just like when Exxon reports it's quarterly profits in the BILLIONS and BILLIONS (like Carl Sagen would say)

Maybe someone should tell them the Pledge of Allegiance was written by a socialist (which is actually true).

In my family we were taught to put our fingers in our ears whenever the Pledge of Allegiance was recited, then, when it came to the "under God" part, to make devil's horns with our fingers and stick out our tongue. We had to be careful to lip-read the pledge when other people were reciting it so we could tell when to unplug our ears.

Funny. At every Democratic convention or caucus or other large event that I've attended, the entire body recited the Pledge of Allegiance. I didn't see anyone cringe or writhe in pain or go into hysterics. It was pretty much what you'd expect from any average group of Americans at any gathering reciting the pledge.

But, unlike the tea-baggers, nobody shouted "UNDER GOD!" at the top of their lungs. I guess the Democrats just don't appreciate the value of using God as a weapon against your imaginary enemies.

When *Acting Crazy* is the only tool in your tool chest . . .

A window into their souls: they recite the pledge in order to supposedly drive their fellow countrymen crazy rather than out of love for the flag or for their country.

Driving Miss Crazy

What drives me crazy is knowing that I have to share this country with ignorant, fear-mongering, narrow-minded bigots like those who think a pledge somehow separates patriots from America-haters.

Ironically, both the pledge and "under god" are the result of shallow minds; the framers of our constitution would never have included either idiocy.

That list is a Who's Who of the usual gang of GOOPer idiots
