Freep a Poll: What do you think of NBC's decision to cut the words 'under God' from the Pledge?

What do you think of NBC's decision to cut the words 'under God' from the Pledge of Allegiance during a patriotic video aired for the network's US Open coverage? It's offensive! It's not patriotic if the network is rewriting the Pledge! It was the right thing to do, since there should be true seperation (sic) of church and state! It's not a big deal either way

Now Bashing Christians network removes “under God” from pledge.

Thanks to Dynachrome and Gopher Broke for the heads up.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin’, if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

I’m handling Dynachrome’s FReep a Poll pings until he returns. Errors and omissions during that time are solely my fault and should cease upon his return.

I voted, but the middle choice is leading right now. Strange indeed.

A society that ostracizes God from its public discourse is incapable of maintaining its integrity.

They thought golf was too worldly for the religious.

I’m sure this will become commonplace; I can’t believe they apologized.

Choice #2 apparently defines golf as a government activity.

Since I haven’t watched anything on NBC in about 15 years, including their “news shows,” I have absolutely no opinion on it, and couldn’t care less.

I expect that within the next few years they’ll merge with Al Jazeera and be broadcasting the call to prayer five times a day, and General Electric will be telling us how peachy that is, and I won’t care then either.

I can’t turn them off any harder than I already have. Pfft.

Their use of seperation [sic] is an act of desparation [sic].

Well, to be fair it was broadcast on State-controlled media.

Socialists and Communists hate God, so it’s perfectly understandable that MSNBC would do this. That being said, Socialists and Communists should not be permitted to breath free American air on American soil...
