Haha, Bill O'Reilly is doing a segment advocating that Churchill should be tried for treason or sedition. What do you think? I say go for it!!!!
Occasionally I agree with Bill. This is one of those times.
Sure, why not?
I'd say John Kerry and Jane Fonda should be prosecuted first, though.
Because none dare call it treason....
That's silly. We have freedom of speech in this country.
good lord....proving treason is almost impossible and that jackass (churchill or O'Reilly, take your pick) did not knowingly help the enemy nor did he call any one of his dingo activist wackos to any action.......pls don't go so far overboard we sound like those nice folks at DU
Well, unfortunately I think the slimey Churchill will emerged even more notorious and totally unscathed,,but,,I think it's helpful to everyone to know who he is and where he is. Not that he's the only left wing crackpot professor,,,,,just that he has surfaced to get his hour in the sun.
That's what O'Reilly used to think while he was making phone calls to his producer.
will emerged = will emerge, duh, sorry
I'd rather that the phony professor continue being the poster child for everything that is wrong with academia.
Both.
True. It's wrong when the left does it, it's wrong when the right does it.
Sensenbrenner is on now - To bring up a sensitive subject on FR
The better course is to shun the ahole unless you can get him to take a poke at you and in that case a good beating obtains. It won't knock any sense into him but what the hey.
Freedom of speech has always had constitutional limitations. Treason is one of them.
I think Oreilly is a blowhard.
While I found his comments to be vicious leftist garbage, trying him for treason would set a dangerous precedent - what would stop somebody from trying Rush Limbaugh for treason if they found his comments offensive?
As another poster pointed out, we have freedom of speech to say whatever we want, even the Prof. Churchill's among us.
How about at least misrepresenting what he is?--he piled up ill-gotten gains from lying about himself, and so should at least be required to return those.
