Maniac fakes press credentials, disrupts Obama speech

Hahahahaha, what a weirdo!

During an Obama town hall meeting today in Berea, Ohio, some clod with fake press credentials made a complete jackass of himself. As the addled maniac photographed the event, he kept shouting that Obama had failed to call for the audience to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

Finally, Obama invited the heckler to lead the audience in the Pledge - which he did.

After the Pledge of Allegiance, Obama said to the man, "Thank you, sir, appreciate it."

The humiliated heckler was allowed to stay at the event - which is more than what Bush would have allowed.

This guy was attacking Obama because the event didn't start off with the Pledge of Allegiance? How many political rallies or candidate meetings like this feature the Pledge? I sure don't remember the Pledge of Allegiance being uttered at the Bush rally in my area in 2000 that went awry.

Sounds to me like the heckling was a Freeper-style attack that went horribly amiss.

Anyone know if that GOP operative from West Virginia who kept staging attacks against himself happened to be in Ohio today?
