Obama supporters boo the Pledge of Allegiance
Second-round Democratic district caucus in Washington’s 43rd.
Sean Astin delivered Clinton’s surrogate speech, trying to rally delegates to her camp. He stuck a foot in it when he referred to “Barack Hussein Obama,” which the mostly pro-Obama crowd were not pleased about hearing.
I don’t think anyone can be surprised–given that we are talking about a group of Obama supporters–that they were also less than enthusiastic about the Pledge of Allegiance:
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.
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.
Don’t you think that they would have figured out that if they want their guy to win they’re just going to have to fake it until November 4th?
