Hardball: Joan Walsh Calls Republican Critics of Obama 'Un-American' and 'Traitorous'
NewsBusters ^ | January 1, 2009 | P.J. Gladnick

Remember when dissent was supposed to be patriotic? Well, it seems that only applies when a Republican is president. Now that Barack Obama is in the White House, criticism of him is "un-American" and "traitorous." This new "tolerant" view of dissent comes from Joan Walsh of Salon.Com as you can see in this Hardball video from Wednesday. Below is the Walsh money quote but please be sure to also watch the video since it is important to watch as she drops any facade of liberal tolerance and lets her true dogmatic soul reveal itself in both her face and voice which seems to border on dementia:

The climate right now is that Republicans use everything they can to undermine and delegitimize this president. And it‘s actually un-American. It‘s traitorous, in my opinion. Do you want to give aid and comfort to our enemies? Continue to treat this president like he wasn‘t elected and he doesn‘t know what he‘s doing! He knows what he did. He knows what he‘s doing. I‘m proud of him. I believe that he has the stalwart, resolute nature to get this done...

Never heard of her

Before the sex change she was a guitarist for the Eagles and started the TV show, Americas Most Wanted.

Of course, we all know there are no Democrats whatsoever criticizing 0bama. [/sarc]

Joanie is a Bolshevik representing a small minority who must resort to pc to illegitimately cling to power. We saw this in the Soviet Union, we didn’t like it there and we will not tolerate it here.

From another thread:

Democrats Join Calls for Napolitano to Step Down Following Failed Attack

Napolitano was 0bama's choice for the post, does this make these Dems traitors, to demand he pull her from it due to her incompetence, the threat to the security of the nation because, etc.?

Yeah, some fat gasbag is going to tell this old Marine that he is "traitorous" and "un-American" for criticizing our mystery President. I don't think so. Communism and free-market Capitalism are in constant conflict, and we are now in a shooting war with radical Muslims. In Barack Hussein Obama (or whatever this usurper's real name is), both enemies have captured our flag and seized the reins of our government.

THEY are the traitors, not us. No pundit can intimidate me into silence. I have nothing but vile contempt for the Socialists who are destroying our country, and this seething rage will reach its boiling point in November.

Does anyone pay attention to these worn out records anymore? They just have a “Repeat the words after me” script to go by. No thought process.

It’s really getting boring. The old “Let’s use what we do against the enemy”.

Is there a straw man being built here? I don’t recall anyone complaining about the fact it took three days for Barry to respond. The criticisms have been about him treating this Islamo Fascist as if its a law enforcement case (alledgedly, suspect etc...) in his speech and not recognizing it for what it is. A terrorist attack. Also for Janet Nepalitano saying that the system worked when it broke down horribly. Also, for liberals not initially recognizing that he was not alone in carrying this out. The signs were overwhelming from the start that there were others involved in this plot.

“Continue to treat this president like he wasn‘t elected and he doesn‘t know what he‘s doing!”

Ok, I’m for splitting the difference. I’ll treat him like he WAS elected (duh!) and like he DOESN’T know what he is doing. (double-dub).
