Patrick says Obama critics are 'almost at the level of sedition'
Boston Globe ^ | May 24, 2010 | Michael Levenson

Posted on 05/24/2010 12:31:21 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

Governor Deval Patrick, even as he decried partisanship in Washington, said today that Republican opposition to President Obama’s agenda has become so obstinate that it “is almost at the level of sedition.”

The Democratic governor, who is close to the president, made the comments at a forum at Suffolk Law School's Rappaport Center, where he was asked by an audience member about partisan battling in Congress.

As Romney and his evil RomneyBOTs attacked Gov. Palin
on the EVE of Election 2008 to give America Obama,
Romney gave Massachusetts this protector of eloquent rapists.


“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.

The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”
- Boston Herald, 11/12/2006


"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.

He calls us seditious right after he panders to Muslims:

More than 1,100 Muslim-Americans from across the state attended a forum yesterday at the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center on ways to cope with discrimination. Governor Deval Patrick promised his support. (Matthew J. Lee/ Globe Staff)

“Yours is a peaceful faith, and I know that, and I know you are worried others know that,’’ Patrick said after several Muslims joined him on the platform at the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center to recount stories of epithets hurled at them on Boston streets and FBI agents visiting their houses.

“I know that people have been afraid and angry, and sometimes that fear and anger is randomly directed at you,’’ he said.

The audience, which comprised Muslims from across the state, including many women who wore hijab head coverings and men who wore kufi caps, frequently interrupted Patrick with cheers and chants of "Allahu Akbar!" . . .

Careful what you wish for, you retard.

You don't want to pursue sedition --- or treason.

Way too late for that.
And there is no statute of limitation, plus retroactive application has already been firmly established by --- Clinton.

Good luck with that.

Wrong.
Sedition can't come from a member of the government.

That should be Treason instead, failure to respect their oath of office.

That sounds like high crimes and misdemeanors, to me.

I guess the libs figure turnabout is fair play. When they opposed Bush on anything, especially the war in Iraq and the Patriot Act, they were accused of being traitors by the right.

‘Patrick Proclaims Obama as King, Dissenters Have Committed High Treason’

I guess that is what the Globe is running with.

If the Boston Globe was honest, the headline should of been ‘Patrick Proclaims Himself to be a Dangerous Dumbass'

That works for me too.

Just as long as we get that Marxist Muslim out of the White House - along with all his cadres in the Congress.

Deval is simply trying to scare Barack’s opposition and rouse the troops on his side. He wants the Left to use the accusation of sedition to silence critics. It’s too late and the danger is too great for patriotic opposition to stop.
