  1. Swearing allegiance to Donald tRump, as opposed to … what? What was the prompt at the Sanders rally? I lack essential information.

    1. What’s being done in this post is very sleazy, Dice.

      The photo on top was at the Trump rally in Florida, where he prompts the crowd to take a loyalty pledge to vote for him in the upcoming March 12th rally. Some media have compared this to Nazi rallies, which were fascist and authoritarian in nature, and people gave their right hand salute to Hitler.

      Then below we see a photo of people joyfully raising their hands, with somone holding a Sanders sign in the middle, being led to believe by Ed that this was a Sanders rally. The photo was in fact taken at a caucus vote in Nebraska, and they were not voting for either Sanders or Clinton (see http://ksnt.com/2016/03/05/cruz-racks-up-2-wins-trump-snags-louisiana-in-gop-race/)… I guess we’re supposed to think that those Sanders people are just like those Trump people, which is a very twisted, dishonest idea to push.

      1. I appreciate onevote’s posting of the link with this Sanders photo and the Nebraska caucus…but that isn’t where I downloaded it from. I was negligent for not including links when I posted this originally…and am trying to find the original site that I used.

  2. Nothing to get excited about!

    One can read anything into this, but if you have been following the rallies and crowds response, it is not to difficult to draw a conclusion or distinction of what is meant by each.

    Holding the hand or both hands up can also be a prayer or bestowing a blessing in some religions. I have seen both methods especially in monastic communities.
