    I live in Georgia and Rep. Jack Kingston doesn’t deserve to represent us. He’s an embarrasment to the state of Georgia. I’m familiar with a poll that demands that Hillary apologize to Barack for her lies in the past week. It’s here: http://beertap.wordpress.com. Kingston needs to apologize as well.

    What bugged me about Bill Maher this week is that Kingston was spewing non-stop nonsense and right-wing lies and no one called him on any of it. He was like a trained monkey up there, and not the smart kind.

    Hey Oliver, can you upload these videos to youtube? I bet they’d get spread out all over the place there. Since posting a post about Obama saying the pledge and linking to your page I’m getting a lot of people finding me in a search because they are looking for a video where Obama is NOT saying the pledge. So I’m glad they’re finding me but we need to get those videos on a platform such as youtube where they can saturate the internet because apparently there are a lot of people looking for a video showing Obama being anti-American. Well, sorry this is kind of rambling on. I’m just in a hurry. I love your site. :)

    this was not a matter about obama not saying the pledge of alligance. this is a matter about obama not placing his hand of his heart as a patriotic american during the rendition of the national anthem. actions speak louder than words, like it or not.

    There is a photograph of George H.W. Bush without his hand over his heart during the National Anthem. This photo was taken at the ceremony of the 10th anniversary of the liberation of Kuwait. Gen. Wesley Clark and Colin Powell were there as well with their hands over their hearts. Does this make George H.W. Bush unpatriotic? This is the question posed at the Huffington Post.

    I need to make a correction, it was George H.W. Bush, Colin Powell and Gen. Norman Scwarzkoff in the photograph.
