Klein: Fox's 'hateful crap' borders on 'sedition'
The American Thinker ^ | October 24, 2009 | George Joyce

Posted on 10/25/2009 4:22:04 AM PDT by Scanian

For a fascinating glimpse into the seething and completely unhinged liberal mind check out Joe Klein’s dark and disturbing rant over at Time Magazine. The first line of the piece reads:

"Let me be precise here: Fox News peddles a fair amount of hateful crap. Some of it borders on sedition. Much of it is flat out untrue."

Although Klein’s vitriol is off the charts it pales in comparison to what can only be described as his unseemly boot licking. Here’s an example:

"If the problem is that stories bloated far beyond their actual importance -- ACORN's corruption, Van Jones's radical past -- are in danger of leaching out of the Fox hothouse into the general media, then perhaps the Administration should be a bit more diligent about whom it hires and whom it funds."

When a writer worries about stories “in danger of leaching out” he or she can best be described as a storm trooper, not a journalist.

Joe Klein has utilized all of his talents and capabilities to pen a column that is little more than a series of fact-free name-calling statements. That suits Klein well, as it matches the depth of his understanding of facts and history.

Hey Klein, remind us how the left winged media tried to destroy the last administration with trumped up charges of phony military documents and DUI and cocaine charges.

Sedition —> used frequently during the Bush Administration by Michael Savage when describing the liberals and their antics.

Joe Klein, a gutless coward who writes books using the assumed name “Anonymous”.

What this provides is insight into the twisted mind of a “respected” liberal. That someone with the media credentials of Kline, harbors such hate and vengeance, is a strong clue that the dinosaur media will never accept conservatism.

I’ve asked myself several times, if Obama wanted to send a contingent of Secret Service agents into the Fox offices with padlocks on some flimsy “national security” pretext, who really could stop them?

That's not how it will work: "when the merd hits the air-moving apparatus" the networks will simpily announce that Matrial Law has been declared and what the rules are. Explaintions will come in high sounding rehtoric from various and sundry among the political elite.

We will only know what they want us to know - facts, as we know them, will be constrained under a Martial Law declaration.

The sheeple (a David Gold coined word) will cower and applaud the protections afforded to them by the Feds. Those few that whine about the situation too loudly will be arrested and otherwise silenced.

Declaration of Martial Law is serious business and not to conflated with Constitutional rights viz a vie freedom of speech, movement, gatherings (live or online), and expression.

"Martial Law (which will never be rescinded without revolution)"...
Civil war is a better word choice, since what is hapening now is a revolution.

Applaud your optimism, but Hussein seeing the light you wish for belies the man's ego and pathology.

The next time thinking about ACORN makes you feel weary, just remember that without them Franken might not be a senator.

Just remember what has been said here so many times: liberalism is a mental disorder.

All this is coming from the crowd that crowed: “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.” The hypocracy is breathtaking. JK & his ilk will continue licking Obama’s boots even after the destruction of Israel (which he is engineering) has come to pass.

The same ones that have stood up to him./sarc

If obama called a press conference tomorrow and announced that he was taking complete and total control of the United States Government, not one Congressman/woman or Senator would raise an objection.

If you don’t believe it, ask Joe Wilson what happens when one questions the messiah’s actions.

All the democrats and rinos of America are guilty of sedition straight up and should be deported to the communist nations they love and their forefathers came from.

For the non-historians, Hitler's storm troopers originated as goons who beat up protesters at early Nazi events. This re-purposing of the term is very apt.
