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.

Does anyone even read TIME magazine anymore? I think the last time I read an issue was back in 1986 when the Challenger blew up.

I could not agree more with your assessment.

The truth is frankly, who gives one pi$$ what this dope thinks, has to say or write? No one who is in touch with the facts and any form of reality.

I love Klein's opinion regarding Fox News reporting and how “much of it (Fox reporting) is flat out untrue”...

Have you noticed we hear that a lot from senior administration officials, Democrats on the Hill and the DNC...

HOWEVER, we never see one single example of the “untruths” ever exposed by the accusers. ....NEVER...

Truth and facts are such pesky little interferences with propaganda and Dem talking points.

As with most leftists, Klein has a hugely distorted view of reality, about right and wrong and about principals.
Remember this dust-up from this intellectually dishonest slug?

FROM THE WEEKLY STANDARD...

Joe Klein can't believe that the editors of the Los Angeles Times would allow someone as “overwhelmingly limited” as Jamie Kirchick to criticize Barack Obama in their pages. In particular, Kirchick’s limitation seems to be a failure to grasp the moral imperative that all nations be treated equally:

“...much of the rest of the world came to see American exceptionalism as a belief that we can make our own rules, make exceptions, as it were. We could unilaterally decide to make war in Iraq, withdraw from the global warming negotiations, allow India and Israel to abide by one set of rules when it came to nuclear proliferation and Iran to another.”

Imagine that: one set of rules for democratic allies like India and Israel and another set of rules for the authoritarian, repressive, revolutionary regime in Tehran. I'm surprised Klein didn't single out the outrageous double standard the United States has applied in Korea. By Klein's logic, why should the North be subjected to sanctions and intimidation from the imperialist swine in Washington while the South receives direct military support?

But the “hateful crap” of the previous 8 years was what, patriotic dissent?

These leftists would be damned hilarious if they weren’t so stupid as to be downright dangerous.

Hey, Klein. If you think I’m guilty of sedition for voicing my dissenting opinion, come and try to arrest me. I dare you.

With a Marxist president the obvious sedition and espionage lead to treason.. Any waiting for a bloodless coup are utopian dream weavers.. Freedom costs blood.. always..

Be a slave -OR- give up some blood.. A hard rain is going to fall..

When Klein wants to start the war, let me know. May as well get it over sooner rather than later.

Hmmmm by all accounts over the past 60 odd years...Democraps have thought that sedition was a *good* thing. They certainly taken every opportunity to strip every shred of legal force from American Law, to prosecute anyone for it.

Hell, up until this point, every freakin Leftist in the U.S. has been vehemently demanding that Sedition be accepted as Free Speech! My how times have changed...and all Hope-y too!

"borders on" sedition??

Okay, compared to the stuff he's been peddling during the Bush years that actually *was* sedition, I guess he'd be one to know what *borders* on it.

Is this the same Joe Klein who wrote the thinly veiled "anonymous" send up of the Clinton White House who's now complaining about seditious reporting?

Really?

I thought when Bush was gone, the Left would regain its sanity?? Apparently there are deeper problems than we previously believed...

You're correct, their issues are deeper than that.

The mental disorder known as liberalism, and their delusional dystopian dreams are not based on a hatred of Bush or the worship of The Usurper.

Leftists have an ideology, and an agenda, and that won't change, whether Bush or Obozo or Kerry or Gore or McCain was POTUS. Their ideology is still there; the narcissist in office is just a vehicle for them to move their agenda forward.

Hmmmmm.... In 2003 Cass Sunstein wrote a book.

But, that's all changed now that the dissenters are in charge.

To call this worthless piece of human debris a hack would be an insult to hacks everywhere. What a maroon!

Intentionally violating the Constitution that our Liar-in-Chief swore to preserve, protect, and defend is treason.

We have no way to know what he swore. The do-over was private.

Maybe he wants a new Alien and Sedition Act? It would be interesting if der Fuehrer passed a new one; after all, it worked so well for John Adams. Oh yeah, it was the democratic republicans (now the democrat party) who fought that tooth and nail.

Glenn Beck gave the WH a direct phone line to call if they see anything that is wrong.
Have they called in yet?
The left have big brass balls calling FOX traitorous.
