During a Missouri National Guard ceremony to swear-in new members, guardsmen had to recite an oath that contained the line, "I will obey the orders of the President of the United States."

According to numerous attendees, the mention caused boos to erupt throughout Memorial Stadium.

The action has one state representative angry at both the fans and university officials.

Rep. Clem Smith (D-Velda Village Hills) said he is “embarrassed and angry” by the action. Smith attended the game and heard the boos himself.

It was during halftime when a lot of people were probably waiting in the concession or bathroom lines

1. I'm sure the idiot son was cheered n/t

[gopiscrap]

3. of course

[sharp_stick]

2. No problem

shit, I stood on the street as shrubbos limo went by with my middle finger up high.

Let them boo, I'm happy they're pissed off that means I'm fucking winning.

[gopiscrap]

4. I did that to Bush also

8. rotten eggs perhaps

[leftynyc]

12. Same here

When the convention was in NYC, every day during lunch I went up to 34th street (they used this street to get from east to west side) and gave to finger to every single limo that passed by.

5. Morons.

6. Republicon chickenhawks hate our sons and daughters in uniform, and the USA

As they again make clear. Disgraceful (R).

Obviously, the Republicon chickenhawks are still poisonously pissed off that President Obama succeeded in eliminating Osama bin Laden, and accomplished all the goals that their ill-begotten chicken hawk Republicon stooges -- George AWOL Bush (R) and Dickie "Five Military Deferments" Cheney (R) - failed so miserably to accomplish.

7. Yep, that's Misery, all right.

Home to football rapists and Branson, where old country stars go to die.

9. I was disturbed to see The Pledge of Allegiance recited at this weekend's NASCAR race in TX.

Gave me the creeps. Too bad <5% of the drunken podunks probably REALLY understand what it's supposed to mean.

Yee Haw hold mah beer I gotta fart!!

[geek tragedy]

10. They're booing loyalty to the US government, and booing the office of the President.

Same assholes get all weepy whenever that Lee Greenwood song plays, and get all weepy when some white person sings the national anthem.

11. That's actually a fair amount of restraint by Mizzou fans

I would have expected the usual halftime show of burning crosses and lynching the president in effigy....

[underpants]

13. Wasn't that embarrassing rodeo stunt in Missouri too?

[rwsanders]

14. Rural missouri is very right wing, and very dependent on tourism (hint, hint)...

The "waters of the state" are also highly contaminated because of lax laws regarding sewage treatment (spraying on farmland is encouraged and acceptable).
So next time you want to go on a float trip, don't come to MO (only way they'll ever learn).
