Liberals are all too often eager to charge conservative personalities of using hyperbole to gain a political advantage, especially when it contradicts their world view - whether it's suggesting the Obama administration is taking the country down the path of socialism, fascism or any other -ism.
However, it could be argued there's a different set of standards for those same people when they want to make strong charges. On NBC's April 18 "The Chris Matthews Show," Time columnist Joe Klein all but accused former GOP vice-presidential nominee and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, along with Fox News host Glenn Beck of sedition.
"I did a little bit of research just before this show - it's on this little napkin here. I looked up the definition of sedition which is conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of the state. And a lot of these statements, especially the ones coming from people like Glenn Beck and to a certain extent Sarah Palin, rub right up close to being seditious."

Klein really needs more fiber in his diet.
He found it written on the little napkin.............
All the left is smoking crack.
Now Joe...weren’t you and yours lecturing us ...just a few short months ago...about how dissent “is patriotic”?!!!
Is Joe Klein for real?
What an a$$hole!
So the MSM begins to send signals to Rahm that if Beck and Palin are hauled off to jail, they will sit on their hands?!
Bizarro World commentary.
The Founding Fathers understood that sometimes this is necessary. They wrote it into the Constitution. When people start criticizing former vice presidential candidates for "sedition", it tells me that we are living in dark days.
It depends on what your definition of sedition. If one side ignores the constitution and tries to enslave the other half with, say, enforced healthcare - who exactly is guilty of sedition?
I love to remind the libs about that.
So then I guess we could arrest all the dems for the same while Bush was president.
Klein & Rahm coordinated this.
This is just a lead-up to the soon to come stifling of free
speech. It is typical, and required of all Marxist countries.
Get use to the new USSA, under your dear leader, Premiere
Obombo.
Klein is scum..... always has been.
Sedition is not a legal problem in the United States.
What’re you going to do about it, Klein? Talk is cheap! There’s tens of millions of us (minimum) that’d raise up as one to defend Governor Palin and Mr. Beck if you try something!!
Joe Klein is an idiot.
If you all want a real howler, look at the cover of Newsweek....LOL
No wonder they lost 40 million last year ;-)
