Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, speaking at a law school forum, said that GOP opposition to the Obama program “is almost at the level of sedition.”
Patrick later said the phrase was a mere “rhetorical flourish,” but this isn't the first — or the fifth — time a prominent liberal politico has accused conservatives of approaching sedition in opposing Obama administration policies. See, the “almost” part is key, because then it isn't offensive, right?
I wonder when the governor and the rest on the left will figure out that this country's now mostly-defunct sedition laws were used to harass Thomas Jefferson and the Reds, and little else.
UPDATE: I should have said Thomas Jefferson, the Reds, and anybody Woodrow Wilson didn't like. Liberal fascism.
But the crap that the leftistas said about Bush was a-okay.
Note that they don’t mention the throngs of Democrats that are turning against him also. People are wising up and waiting for November so they can cut the cajones off this communist.
As soon as we can safely say the same about the Left, then we can all just get along.
Yet another Progressive fascist wanna be in action. Thank God for the 1st and 2nd Amendments both keep such clowns as this in check
He’s just helping to lay the groundwork for the first wave of dissident roundups. There are probably some old germans in retirement homes who have seen this sort of thing.
If you’re opposing treason, can it even be technically considered “sedition”?
People who love this country hate Obama.
Interesting how all of the opposition and urestrained hate against George Bush was ‘patriotism’. How quickly they have conveniently forgotten the last 8 years; like it never happened!
If it wasn’t funny it would be sick. Sick and funny...there is a pattern forming.... INCOMPETENCE...thats the word that comes to mind. Boston...sick and funny...”CROOKED” will be the word of the day for Tuesday.
I replied "Dissent is patriotic."
Her good mood vanished and she was instantly spittin' mad (her natural state).
If this be sedition, make the most of it!
Massachusetts?
The most miserable people on earth.
Dims see their power slipping away and they’re freaking out.
I don't use the word "almost" when I refer to these Demonrats leading the Executive and Legislative Branches as American-hating, Constitution-hating, communists.
I don't consider it "offensive" either. They are what they are.
I think Obumble’s coronation has actually done this country a world of good. By getting the sheeple of America to wake the hell up and realize that our country is being destroyed from within, that multiculturalism is a sick joke used to further the evil aim of hostile scum who are not at all shy about their plans. Why should they be? We’ve given the store away, pretty much.
Obumble might be the straw that broke the camel’s back. If so, after we take back America, we shouls thank his sorry a$$ for the wake-up call. And hopefully we’ve learned our lesson. I just hope it’s not too late.
These people are scared as hell that their monopoly on power is about to be lost and this is how they react. I suppose Churchill or someone said that if you wanted to properly judge someone’s character, give them power. I say it makes far more sense to take it away from them instead.
“...‘Almost Seditious’...”

Ping me when the opposition reaches ‘nearly seditious’.
