Another Tea Party protest has erupted in Washington D.C. and as usual it is proving to be very entertaining. This protest was brought about by Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) along with the help of Fox News personalities Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. Rep. Bachmann and Fox News invited health care opponents to the Capitol to help try and kill the Democrats health care bill which she has called socialized medicine.
In the video below Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) is asked to start the rally by providing an introduction and reciting the pledge. Rep. Akin stated that it is altogether fitting and proper to say the pledge and that it would infuriate liberals as well. Liberals seem not to mind that the pledge was recited but Think Progress has made an issue out of the fact that "indivisible" was taken out of the pledge by Rep. Akin. The removal of "indivisible" is especially concerning for some since some conservatives have actually advocated secession as the Obama agenda gets passed.
In addition the misquoted pledge the protest also featured a sign comparing health care reform to the Holocaust. The Holocaust comparisons have drawn fire from many who argue the comparison is improper given the magnitude and nature of the Final Solution compared with health care reform.
