Blitzer sits during RNC Pledge/ Delegates chastise.
9/3/2012 | Daily Caller

If you needed more ammo to hate CNN and Blitzer, take a look at this.


TOPICS:
KEYWORDS: vanity
Here's a link (I hope it's OK to do this)to the Daily Caller"s video of an opening ceremony during the RNC last week where Blitzer and Piers Morgan (limey gets a pass, I guess)are on their butts during the Pledge, get yelled at by delegates who they ignore then finally get up during National Anthem. Bret Baier with Herman Cain, on the other hand, stood with hands on hearts during the Pledge as well as Anthem.(There's a photo of them.) Says it ALL, folks.

The Daily Caller is allowed here and doesn’t require excerpting, unless something has changed very recently.

Last week Megan and Brit were yacking away during the pledge. All other stations’ anchors were quiet. I thought it was rude. Maybe it’s just me.

Shameful for Blitzer. He even stopped Piers from standing at one point. Peirs is a foreigner so I don’t care about that lump of crap. But Blitzer is showing his anti-Americanism again.

That’s pretty lazy and despicable. I think even Morgan should have stood, although I wouldn’t expect him to recite the pledge of allegiance.

Isn’t this what you’re supposed to do? If I’m at a hockey game or something and the play the Canadian National Anthem, am I not supposed to stand for that?

I really would have thought Blitzer had more class than that.

Was that Brit Hume or Bret Baier?
Shame on them for that. Maybe a lesson learned?
Meggie’s starting to worry me alittle.
Good thing I don’t watch her often.

Geeeez, that’s a surprise...
he’s usually pretty savvy about honoring the flag and country. Has to be Megyn’s fault, distracting him.
(Just kidding!)

I watch virtually no “news entertainment”, but I can’t STAND Blitzer. I think the only one I dislike more is Ed Shultz over at MSNBC.

This picture was taken by a friend of mine - she emailed it this morning and said to expect something out on it....I told her she’s my new favorite activist...LOL. Way to go!

I'm not surprised. In fact, I think the delegates should have left them alone and allow them to show their true colors. It's still a somewhat free country after all...what's left of it. I totally expect things like this, nowadays, coming from CNN (lovingly known as the Communist News Network) and MSNBC (endearingly referred to as the Maoist Socialist Neo-communist Broadcasting Company--lots o' adjectives, but it seems to fit).

Thought he was an Izzy citizen? Going back to his days at the Jerusalem Post, was it?

Hmm, Wiki sez Polish Jew, born in Germany as refugee family after the War. Raised in the U.S. and a U.S. citizen -- so he knows better.

Wolf, you've got to give up that too-cool-for-school shtick. Obama's wearing it out just real fast.

Not as an excuse, but the only reckoning I can handle, would be that both those buzzards are Jehovah Witnesses.

Still, they deserve a good tomato!

I don’t know, the explanation seems reasonable. They were hooked up by cables it seems?

Of course whose to say they weren’t lying.

Seeing “Blitzer” and “class” in the same sentence left me with severe cognitive dissonance for a second.

No surprise to me that the testosterone-challenged, chinless Little Wolfie would show disrespect for the Pledge or anything that honors American principles. He’d bow to an Arab king in a New York minute, though.
