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.
Americans need to be very vigilant: Obama and his loathsome WH staff are very calculated in their use of power. As dissent among the populace grows, they are capable of plotting staged events to boost their advantage.
If these arch-manipulators perceive there isnt measurable fear in the hearts of the people, they will create that fear to solidify their power. They know people will succumb to fear, and will relinquish their God-given liberties when they are fearful.

Sedition? I guess the next step is for Obama supporters to demand that anyone who criticizes Obama should be taken out and shot.
What he MEANT to say was “You want fries wit dat?”
Bump.
