It happened Wednesday night at the beginning of a debate between Democratic incumbent Melissa Bean, GOP challenger Joe Walsh and Green Party candidate Bill Scheurer. The debate for Illinois 8th congressional district took place at Grayslake Central High School. While League of Women Voters moderator Kathy Tate-Bradish began explaining the rules of the debate an audience member raised his hand and (when called upon) asked if they were going to start with the Pledge of Allegiance. When she said no, the audience booed and almost all in the crowd of more than 300 stood and enthusiastically recited it anyway. Tate-Bradish, who joined in the pledge, issued a scolding when the crowd finished saying they are not allowed to disrespect her.Big surprise. The "moderator" is an ACORN worker.
After the spontaneous Pledge, Tate-Bradish concluded with this remark: "
A little flustered, Tate-Bradish admonished the crowd: “Ladies and gentleman, I hope … I hope that that will be the last time that I am disrespected.”"Huh. I guess for a democrat saying the pledge is being disrespected.
