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.

Sedition? SEDITION?

Now that's a good old word, one that hasn't entered our politics in a long, long time.

My answer: Smile when you say that, Klein, because them's fightin' words.

Fox is the only net that reports the news.
NBC, owned by GE is in the tank for Hussein as are all the other major networks. They didnt run the ACORN stories, they didnt run the Van Jones stories. They are protecting their little fascist.

Klein is deeply disappointed that Fox is interfering w/ the socialists’ agenda.

And Olberman calling conservatives “mashed up bags of meat” is just tough love, right?

If the definition of sedition = “speaking critically about the criminal bastards running our nation” then I guess I’m guilty too. :(

These people are nothing but losers. To try and make this argument is such a farce. We all know the other networks are in the bag for Obama, and we also know Fox only seems right leaning because they report for the most part, fairly. Liberal journalist can’t stand this fact so they show their asses by seething. As far as I’m concerned Klien can go pound sand while I laugh at him for his complete biased idiocy!

Obama’s obsession with Fox News just might cause some interesting dynamics to appear on the international scale and within the ranks of “journalism.”

Klein? Joel Klein?
Who is he again?
He sounds like Hitler's Reichsführer-SS (Reich SS Leader) Heinrich Himmler to me, only 10 times as evil that's all. The Kenyan Narcissist in Chief has read well from the Hitler play book, and set his impotent, increasingly irrelevant attack dogs lose.

Very simply, socialism cannot survive an educated and informed public. It is, therefore essential to the left that they shut down and obscure the message of their opponents. They were successful during the last election. What will happen now is still up in the air.

Call me a Seditionist. I REFUSE TO BE SILENCED!

Call me a Teabagger. I REFUSE TO BE SILENCED!

Call me a birther. I REFUSE TO BE SILENCED!

No carpet-munching, child-molesting, America-hating Communist will silence me.

How is it that America suffers such narcissistic fools who can not stop whining when they don’t get their way? For I think America is too nice to these people (now how’s that for bad English). I can only guess the fish is rotting from the head down.

Gosh, Joe Klein..It sounds like you want ideas different than yours to be censored. No debate..No true “multiculturalism,” no true equality..Just totalitarianism, marxism, communism, fascism or whatever “ism” is required to take away the voice of those who might have a different point of view. Well, Americans are not ready for your kind of thinking yet, Joe. Methinks some strong opposition might happen if people like you choose to take away our First Amendment Rights, buried down in a remote corner of some bill not having anything to do with free speech. We are awake now and we are watching.

So when the merd hits the air-moving apparatus and the networks MUST report the facts, including the imposition of Martial Law (which will never be rescinded without revolution) then the sheeple will wonder why no one told them this was coming.

Hey, Klein!

The White House can’t stand Fox News’ criticism, so you just run out and write anything to defend this administration.

Do you call THAT news?!

Personally, I think that Obama’s ‘hateful socialism’ goes well beyond bordering on sedition. Intentionally violating the Constitution that our Liar-in-Chief swore to preserve, protect, and defend is treason. I hope Obama sees the light and turns to side with America, the side of good.
