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."

Yeah, lets see them bring the charges.
I’m sure Sarah is very scared.
Klein is an old Clintonista. He’s also a liberal loon.
“it’s on this little napkin here.”
At least he didn’t write anything on his hand!
TIME is so last decade.
Are they still publishing ?
They’ll need an awfully big jail because there are millions of us who agree with Beck and Palin.
Hillary once screamed at the top of her lungs that we had all the right in the world to question and complain.
Them’s scared.
They have to say this because they can't make a coherent argument against spending cuts, etc.
Yeah and what is the definition of treason!!??
These people are acting like we’re Sweden.
Well a little sedition is good for the soul....Moron!!! If we don’t drink the Koolaid they get their panties twisted...LOL
The ENEMY within...
They’ll need an awfully big jail because there are millions of us who agree with Beck and Palin.
Don’t worry, they’ve got one:

So where was Klein from 2000 to 2008? If he's concerned about sedition now, then he really must have been concerned about it then. Except of course that he wasn't.
Those are fighting words. The day they try to hit them with Sedition charges is the day this country’s divide rips wide open. I know a lot of people would view that as the end of freedom of speech, and a ban of any criticism of the government. I don’t think people will stand for that and is a very dangerous accusation.

Someone please Photoshop Sarah with a note on her hand to Klein saying “Joe, you suck”....or something better.
Like Serrano said in Major League
“Bring that shite to me, man”
