Megan, you ignorant slut.

[wtmusic]

1. One day fragile Megan will split wide open

and make a stinking mess of the newsroom.

One moment, while we pause for technical difficulties.

59. She invoked the "Raise your voice" Strategy

That is one of the tricks of Punditry. If you are losing the argument. Raise your voice to overpower any argument. Don't debate the points, just say what you said before LOUDER.

News, by white hairy arse.

[navarth]

2. yet another reason to be disgusted by ClusterFux News. nt

[amyrose2712]

3. What a TWIT!!

Thats all I need to say.

[felinetta]

47. She is just always ignorant. I used to love when she would

think she could take on Obama's people during the campaign.

[ORDagnabbit]

4. I hate that woman.

[DutchLiberal]

52. I would, too, if she weren't that hot...

:evilgrin:

[Ezlivin]

5. Return to the original pledge

The original Pledge omitted the phrase "under God" as you can see in the linked video clip.

[ksimons]

15. thanks for the link - never saw that

I guess people who lived before 1950 were GOD-LESS BASTARDS!

lol

[grantcart]

27. it was added at the height of the red scare hysteria

[tclambert]

34. I kinda like Robin Williams' suggestion. Change it to "one nation, under Canada."

[wryter2000]

41. Exactly

Why do they have to take a sledgehammer to a small problem? Just reinstate the original and say that's what they're doing.

Then, the religious idiots (which does not include the majority of religious people) have to justify their hissy-fit. Puts them on the defensive.

[Adsos Letter]

6. Ahhh...the condescending attitude of religious arrogance...

Megan's arrogance is palpable. :puke:

[zippy890]

7. she's close to head-explosion in that video

which I find quite funny. He's so calm and rationale.
she keeps getting more angry.

[Quantess]

43. We should call her Megannity

Every time I have seen her (usualy in video clips) she is behaving like Sean Hannity.
She is emulating Sean Hannity. We should call her Megannity.

9. Funny how her face changes when she thinks shes got him in a gotcha moment :)

[Critters2]

10. I have furniture smarter than that woman.

What part of "the tyranny of the majority" do people like her not understand?

[ihavenobias]

18. Amen n/t

[Why Syzygy]

46. They were in Palin's civics class. nt

[opihimoimoi]

11. A religious air head trying to act sound look smart...Megan is a prime example of why this Nation is

so fucked up....

[hangman86]

19. Is there anyother type of anchor on Faux News

The network hires these bimbos so the Repugs can whack off while their listening to propaganda. I guess the combination of the two makes for one sticky TV set.

[RoccoR5955]

12. Personally, I have recited it...

...one nation, under his noodly appendages.
But hey, why should everyone?

[DUlover2909]

28. I bet if a child said "under Satan" he or she would be sent to the office.

I don't see why people go on Fox Right Wing Opinion Network. It's obvious they didn't invite that guy on without first giving Megan her arguing points. They didn't want him there to express his views. They wanted him there to debunk his views.

[Seldona]

36. If that is the case, it was a monumental fail.

nt

[Politicalboi]

13. So then why

If it were true that Obama was Muslim did Faux Noise have a problem with it? Hmmmmmmm That bimbo had no idea what she was talking about.

[ksimons]

14. even my religious mom says keep it out of government - period.

the fact that there is a historical context doesn't mean anything. she's a piece of work. but it's funny to watch these fox folks lose the debate with 'just because' as it will never win the argument - the constitution wins the argument and he's right to keep going back to it.

love it.

[nyc 4 Biden]

16. I'm "religious" and I'd have to say

that is the most ignorant thing I've seen on a tv in a while. I also believe in the separation of church and state. Does Fox make these spokespeople go through some type of Hannity boot camp? What a bunch of know nothing assholes.

[PatSeg]

17. Does FOX News have any female

newscasters who don't look like Barbie, besides Greta Van Susteren?

What an airhead!

[stlsaxman]

40. off topic- tsegat01- do you have a full size file of that pic in your sig line...

and if so- would you be a sweetheart and email it to me?

it's lovely!

20. Every time I see this hack, I just smile.....the "new bor".....

They've found his replacement. She comes with a big mouth, a big chip on her shoulder, and absolutely NO ears...or sense of hearing. She isn't listening at all to what he is saying.

I'm a Christian. But I'm also not opposed to taking the worlds "...under God.." OUT of the pledge. I taught third grade and retired after 30 years of elementary school teaching. We said the pledge nearly every day in my classroom. I explained what the HUGE words meant to elementary school age children. But when it came to "under God"....I was always uncomfortable with it.

We have atheists who believe in no such thing. We have Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jehovah Witnesses (who will NOT pledge allegiance to anything)...and I see no loss in taking out those two words that were inserted some fifty years ago.

This man is spot on. She is a f*cking retard ...once again...and they make it sound like they are going to be punishing the Christian children. No such thing. First...most could care less if they say the pledge or not. Just the neocon'ers are all worked up. Secondly, removing those two words would simplify the problem and offend no one....except the Jahovah's...which simply don't participate passively.

Take it out...move on. Waaaaay to simple for this dumb bitch and her mob of angry red necks.

[vinylsolution]

21. Ahhh, the great sound of the FOX ....

... screaming and stomping around in its own little puddle of p!ss, like a spoiled brat that can't get its own way.

I guess the right wing bible nuts are having trouble getting used to being an even smaller minority group.

So long live our precious godless Constitution! (and hats off to Mike Newdow, a great American patriot)

[wowimthere]

22. Right wingers think that just because they have the mike and they get the last

word before the break that they are correct. This is how dumb the argument becomes. The last word means the right word. No. It means their last word is the last "rightwing" word. I have friends who talk like her about religion and they sound as looney as she does.

[YOY]

23. Suddenly she's an expert on constitutional law...and history...

and an utter failure in both parts.

[SemperEadem]

24. she doesn't have a firm grasp of the facts

no one is saying that people can't recognize god--which is the point she's trying to drive--what he is saying is that the constitution is neutral, has always been neutral and will always be neutral when it comes to endorsing a religous view.

isn't she the idiot who got her ass tanned for saying 'terrorist fist bump'?

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

25. Furthering the Perspective

I have had a problem with the pledge for a number of decades. The "under god" part is just a piece of it. The mere recitation of the pledge is a loyalty oath to a government anchored on the concept of a civil religion that it promotes. The pledge is a rite within that civil religion, as patriotism is its dogma. I have long held and support the idea that the Constitution is the article that should be revered. Government officials take an oath to uphold the Constitution and execute the office they are charged with. As with the soon to be ex-president, executing the office means upholding the Constitution, not actually executing and killing the Constitution as we have all been witness to. The tyranny of majority can be a frightful thing under given circumstances.

[thesquanderer]

50. Yes, it's not just Under God

The whole pledge should be eliminated.

First, as someone else said, kids don't know what they're saying.

Second, it is essentially an attempt at a kind of brainwashing, albeit a pretty bad one. (I'm thinking of the stories we've heard about some of the things children in some mideast countries likewise must say every day, and how people in this country reacted to that!)

Third, it was phony from the start, written in the late 1800s essentially as a marketing tool to help sell flags, hence pledging allegiance to the flag. (Though I suppose it is appropriate that it was born of capitalism!)

Fourth, in a democracy, we should not be pledging our allegiance to our government... the government serves the people, it should be pledging its allegiance to us.

[DutchLiberal]

53. I agree. Can you think of any other democracy that has its children making a pledge in school?

I can't come up with one.

[LiberalLovinLug]

26. Schooled again

This is the same bimbo that got owned by an Obama spokesperson a while back. I forget his name, he wrote a piece slamming FAUX news about pushing an invented McCain attack on Obama.

She's all set up, smug with her God on her side, to crush this puny ungodly savage. And all he does is calmly dissect her "Hey it says the word God on a building I saw so it must be constitutional" argument.

Fun to watch. But you just know that there are just as many, actually more, watching that and coming to the conclusion that she won the argument. FAUX news can never lose, because even when they do, their loyal followers don't believe it.

[Tripper11]

30. She also talked over him, not letting him get a word in edgewise

Which is also pretty typical of these closed minded people. She knew he was right, but rather then let him fully explain his point she interrupted, several times to continue spouting her own views.
Thou does protest too much!!!

[Muttocracy]

31. yep, classic right arguing style - talk over, repeat lines, repeat lines, talk over

[liberaltrucker]

32. Here's your ass on a silver platter, bimbo.

:rofl:

DAMN, where's SwampRat when ya need him! I suck at PhotoShop!!
x(

On edit, I'd, um, "do" her.
:blush:

[buffynjody]

33. Those funny strict constitutionalists

The talk about being very strict in the interpretation of the constitution--until they don't like what it says. They are a bunch of tools.

[Seldona]

35. Owned. What is their problem with the Constitution?

Vexing that the majority of the country hates their own form of government. And that is not saying all christians think like this either. But I think a majority of the majority do.

[newmac]

37. My demand is this:

I want that foxnews commentator to pledge allegiance to the Flying Spaghetti Monster

[donco6]

38. He's great; she's an idiot.

Obviously, her idea of "debate" is straight out of the RNC cookbook. Talk louder, repeat your misleading or outright false statements, and be as condescending as possible. He was calm, reasonable, direct and . . . correct. The government has no business being involved with religion.

[Nostalgic]

39. Remember when

Megan was arguing with the spokesperson for Obama and she quoted statistics from the Pew Research Center, and stating that Fox News was the least biased network? Even less biased than CNN? I guess she meant that Fox wasn't biased whenever she wasn't on ...

[KitSileya]

42. Twit!

What a twit. It just begs the invitation to say under one goddess, or under Allah, or under Satan, or some such, very loudly the next time you say the pledge of allegiance in public.

[amyrose2712]

61. Took the words right off my fingertips! nt

[skygazer]

44. What kid WANTS to say the Pledge of Allegiance?

Would you, as a kid, have been heartbroken, your day ruined, if you didn't have to say the Pledge? She makes it sound like there are hordes of kids traumatized because they can't say the Pledge - I never knew a kid who gave a shit one way or another - they were just words.

[Strathos]

45. fuck her, she is a bitch

And I don't care about being PC. She's obviously ignorant and that bullshit about the "majority" seems to be a common theme with the rethugnicans lately. They feel their ship sinking and they're trying to take as many people down with them as they can.

[teknomanzer]

48. Kids WANT to recite the pledge?

What kid WANTS to recite the pledge? That is a line bullshit if I ever heard one. ADULTS want kids to recite the pledge. The kids don't give a shit. I surely did not care whether I had to recite the pledge or not. It was just some repetitive robotic thing done every morning for no reason that I could discern - I remember not even knowing what the words meant. I thought "indivisible" was "invisible" - and I had some vague notion that something called a "public" or "me public" or "re - public," whatever that was, might have this super power like Wonder Woman's jet or something.

The point is as a kid with a first grade vocabulary the words had no meaning. Therefore it was not a pledge. Thus having a kid recite a pledge they do not fully understand is pointless. The whole "under God" issue is even more pointless. Adults should be embarrassed playing these idiotic political games using children as pawns.

[LBJDemocrat]

49. What's with her tone?

Does she need to sound so loud and harsh? Why can't these news anchors speak in a civilized manner?

[DutchLiberal]

51. With or without the words 'under God', I find forcing children to do such a 'pledge' creepy...

They do that in North-Korea, too, only they pledge to their Beloved Leader.

[kath]

57. AGREED - the whole concept of taking a loyalty oath is creepy. And adding an endorsement of

religion to it makes it even worse.

[JustinL]

54. I wonder if she realizes that the pledge was written by a socialist?

Francis Bellamy (1855 - 1931), a Baptist minister, wrote the original Pledge in August 1892. He was a Christian Socialist. In his Pledge, he is expressing the ideas of his first cousin, Edward Bellamy, author of the American socialist utopian novels, Looking Backward (1888) and Equality (1897).

Francis Bellamy in his sermons and lectures and Edward Bellamy in his novels and articles described in detail how the middle class could create a planned economy with political, social and economic equality for all. The government would run a peace time economy similar to our present military industrial complex.

55. What's with all the "hotty blondes" on FOXscum "news"?

Where's the hotty brunettes or hotty redheads?

I think FOXscum "news" is doing a great disservice to those DROOLING knuckle dragging rightwing reactionary VERMIN *FAT* *MIDDLE-AGED* *WHITE* *MALES* that tune into FOXscum "news" ONLY to watch the hotties!

[DutchLiberal]

58. I take offense!

I, too, watch Fox only for the hotties! ;)

[Catsbrains]

56. She's Bill O'Reilly with an extra pussy. n/t.

[Pastiche423]

60. Yes, she is an ignorant slut

I was born the year the religious crap was inserted into the pledge. All through elementary school, I would stand, but would not put my hand to my heart, nor say the pledge. Looking back, I am amazed that I was never called on it.

Now that I can't stand, I ignore it completely.
