Time’s Klein: Beck, Palin Potentially Committing Sedition against U.S. Government
Newsbusters ^ | April 18, 2010 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 04/18/2010 4:33:36 PM PDT by Rufus2007

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."

Many of the ignorant public believe every lie he spits out of his mouth

- They will not believe anything negative about him

His biggest taxes and fees and payroll deduction are being phased in over a number of years

After the 1010 mid-terms

After 2012

And after his 2nd term would end

Boiling the frog at low heat

The real sedition is that being perpetuated by Congress and Obama. The real authority in our Republic is the People and the States.

Congress has been passing bill after bill to borrow and spend money faster than druken sailors - all over the objections of the American people who are supposed to be the real bosses.

Time to send in the U.S. Marshals and arrest the felons.

Dumbass.

Joe, read Yates v United States, and get back to me with "sedition" charges for Beck and Palin.

[They will not believe anything negative about him]

I know, and those who might ‘wonder’ immediately point to ‘what all Bush did’. That’s their major arguement.

I did learn that the ‘strings attached’ to many of the big medical student loans has been in practice for many years, not a new thing!

Oh, Joe ...

You might not remember a little document called the Declaration of Independence. It said, in part:

" ... In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people ..."

And was signed by these guys:

Josiah Bartlett, William Whipple, Matthew Thornton, John Hancock, Samuel Adams, John Adams, Robert Treat Paine, Elbridge Gerry, Stephen Hopkins, William Ellery, Roger Sherman, Samuel Huntington, William Williams, Oliver Wolcott, William Floyd, Philip Livingston, Francis Lewis, Lewis Morris, Richard Stockton, John Witherspoon, Francis Hopkinson, John Hart, Abraham Clark, Robert Morris, Benjamin Rush, Benjamin Franklin, John Morton, George Clymer, James Smith, George Taylor, James Wilson, George Ross, Caesar Rodney, George Read, Thomas McKean, Samuel Chase, William Paca, Thomas Stone, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, George Wythe, Richard Henry Lee, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Harrison, Thomas Nelson, Jr., Francis Lightfoot Lee, Carter Braxton, William Hooper, Joseph Hewes, John Penn, Edward Rutledge, Thomas Heyward, Jr., Thomas Lynch, Jr., Arthur Middleton, Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall, and George Walton.

Maybe you want to arrest them for sedition ???

Confused communist crackheads watching the end of their world unfold and that they do is fall into insanity.

Touch a hair on Palin’s head and you will have a civil war Mr.Klein.

They really are beyond shameless—in part because they are so used to getting away with it.

These Time pundits think that Obama’s agenda is a done deal and the country is already an apathetic, insular European welfare state.

What about these guys?

That is as treasonous as it gets, but not a peep from the Dems about that. And, all of the other anti-American and anti-war crap that came from the left during Bush was not criticized.

But when Beck, Palin, or Rush say anything criticizing the current Obama government, that is treason
