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.

Dissent is patriotic EXCEPT when a Democrat is president according to Joan Walsh.

I wrote my Congresscritters and told them a vote for Obamascare was a vote against America.

Maybe the RNC should make an ad featuring that little quote. Oh wait. Michael Steele was last spotted on the side of a milk carton.

Liberal media whores will say anything to get in front of a camera. The more outrageous, the more attention they get.

He’s too busy to comment because he’s adding square footage to the Big Tent (by removing the canvas that the Conservatives used to stand under).

My thoughts exactly. Criticism and delegitmizing of President Bush was alright.

Oh, that’s right. Joan never did that.

Joan Walsh needs to stick her nose in her own business. She is no expert for political commentary.

Do you want to give aid and comfort to our enemies?

Given that Obama's enemies appear to be middle class Americans like myself, yes, I do want to give aid & comfort! Guess that makes me a traitor.
