Need help! Tea Party craziness.

Hey there -

Does anyone recall a tea party crazy standing up during a town hall meeting last year, and demanding that the entire room stand and recite the Pledge?

If so, do you have an article that I can read? I don't remember which politician this occurred in front of.

Thanks!

1. Might you be thinking about an Obama event in Berea Ohio, August 2008?

Maybe this has happened more than once or twice... :think:

I don't recall such an incident from last year.

2. That's not quite it, but this is VERY helpful.

It's another incident I can cite. The moment I'm remembering involved a woman who stood up at a congressional town hall meeting.

7. Well, there was the birther, "Crazy Eileen", in Arkansas.

The second speaker in this clip, after Crazy Eileen, calls for everyone to say the pledge, and they do.

About two minutes in.

3. I do remember it. It was at a congressman's Town Hall last August.

Can't remember who or where, but it was a woman. A very disturbed woman.

I seem to remember that and there was video.

It was a Birther Lady too!:rofl:

Repub Congressman Mike Castle

http://wonkette.com/409982/birther-gal-goes-nuts-on-republican-congressman

Poor Representative Mike Castle! All he wanted was to hold a simple Town Hall and instead he gets some loon shouting about birth certificates, and the audience goes wild. They do not like it so much when he suggests that our president is an American citizen. “The Republican Party has a HUGE problem with its base right now,” declares First Read, diplomatically.
