Another Debate Audience Recites Pledge when Moderator says "no!"

For the second time in less than a week a congressional debate began with a request for the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, and for the second time in a week the League of Woman’s Voters moderator said no, and for the second time in a week the audience got up and said it anyway. One would think that with all of the bad publicity after last week’s incident, the League would have “gotten it.” But Tuesday night the League of Woman Voters proved that they aren’t too “quick on the uptake.”

The Pennsylvania 18th Congressional district debate between Republican incumbent Tim Murphy and his Democratic party challenger Dan Connolly was about to begin when Murphy asked the moderator for the pledge. As the moderator Susan Reuther began to make excuses, the crowd stood up and took action on their own.

After the Pledge of Allegiance was recited, moderator Susan Reuther dealt with her obvious consternation over the spontaneous show of patriotism by scolding Candidate Murphy who asked for the pledge.

“Next time if you have a request like that, we would appreciate it if you would give it to us when the rules are discussed,” she said.
​

“It didn’t need to be requested. I assumed you would do it,” Mr. Murphy replied.

Former Peters High School principal Tom Hajzus was sitting in the front row with a 22-yearold Marine veteran wounded by a bomb in Afghanistan.

“The insensitivity, to me, was inexcusable and outrageous,” said the registered Democrat and Murphy supporter. The crowd’s reaction “was an American moment, that’s what that was,” he said.
​

Once again the League of Woman’s Voters blamed it on politics.

Once again liberals show their contempt for this country and once again they find they are in the minority. Most Americans love and have pride in their country, AND they will not be intimidated into silence over it.

Remember this when you go to vote next Tuesday.

Check those ballots before you vote!

The League of Women Voters has been doing these debates for decades. They are the most respected and neutral organization for sponsoring these debates.
As such, they demand a certain decorum from the audience. The audience is there to observe and observe only. They are not to perform public displays, they are not to cheer, they are not to heckle. The ground rules are spelled out before the audience enters

For Murphy to grandstand and ask for the pledge was outside the agreed to scope of the debate and a blatant attempt to wrap himself in the flag. The League of Women Voters was correct in turning down his request

Go audience. Go.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The recent actions of League of Women Voters puts it far far far outside the mainstream and needs to stop sponsoring these debates.

 

[Revere]

LWV is infested with ACORN retreads.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

LWV is a Progressive Front Group. I mean its the year 2010 why do we even need a LVW anymore?

How much has George Soros contributed to the LVW?

 

[Zoom-boing]

Why didn't the moderator want to recite the pledge?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Fucking goddamn motherfucker

I was joking when I asked about Soros and LWV but he bought them with a $1.7MM contribution

The guy is a fucking menace!

She's another Soros sock puppet

I think it would be awesome if the GOP came out against the League of Women Voters.

Figures the neocons like teapartysam cheer on the socialist pledge meant to brainwash children into unquestioned love of whatever their government does.

Baseball teams don't discuss whether or not the National Anthem will be sung before a game either. But it is expected to be done.

Same thing in this case. I would expect the pledge to be a part of the proceedings. Weird that the moderator is the one who seemed to take issue with it.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, FRANCIS BELLAMY, EDWARD BELLAMY, LOOKING BACKWARD - The Nazi salute's origin in the USA. Pledge of Allegiance http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance.jpg Pledge of Allegiance, Swastika, Holocaust, Inquisition, Ju

The pledge of allegiance was the origin of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi Party). It is a brown stain on American heritage. The original pledge of allegiance used a straight-arm salute because Francis Bellamy was a self-proclaimed national socialist who promoted “military socialism” (a Bellamy term). To promote militarism, Bellamy started the pledge of allegiance with a military salute. The military salute was held for the phrase “I pledge allegiance” and then the right arm extended straight outward toward the flag for the rest of the chant.

enjoy your big government and brainwashed kids, I will personally never recite the pledge and my children will learn the truth of the pledge when they become old enough to understand it and its true intent

If that is the case, it should have been decided beforehand that the pledge of alegience would be recited. I have never been at a public event where this was done. National Anthem ...yes

For Murphy to stand up and request it was blatant grandstanding and wrapping himself in the flag to make points. The audience is not supposed to be part of the debate. Murphy made them so

I tend to think that it would be assumed that it would start with the pledge.

Please contact the GOP and ask them to issue that as a statement of fact.
