Lindsey Graham Corrects Shouter: Obama's No Traitor
Daily Beast ^ | 11/13/15

Posted on 11/14/2015 1:54:06 AM PST by markomalley

While speaking to a mostly empty ballroom at Friday’s Sunshine Summit in Florida, Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham corrected an audience member who shouted out that President Obama is a traitor. The hawkish South Carolina senator was criticizing the president’s handling of Iran and the Benghazi attack when an unidentified woman shouted: “He’s a traitor!” The senator responded: “No, ma’am. He’s not a traitor. He just doesn’t know what he’s doing.”

Linda’s paycheck requires the Uniparty to protect its own. Therefore, he runs interference.

The GOP attacks conservatives with a gusto but backs Obama and his policies.

We might as well have kept Pelosi and Reid around for all the difference it would make.

Who is funding Lindsay? Looking at the 2016 campaign contribution reports for his campaign committee and his leadership PAC he is controlled by big corporations and big legal firms. Why pour millions of dollars into a campaign that has no chance of success?

Yeah, it makes no sense. He has absolutely no chance. And yet he’s out there running interference. My guess is, he’s trying to get Hillary or Bernie elected if he can’t get Jeb.

Trump is right that the super-pacs are a scam. People have learned how to make lots of money off the candidates, no matter what their chances of winning. That is why we have so many candidates and why so many of them are so awful.

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/treason

Treason

The betrayal of one’s own country by waging war against it or by consciously or purposely acting to aid its enemies . . .

Because treason involves the betrayal of allegiance to the United States, a person need not be a U.S. citizen to commit treason under the Constitution. Persons who owe temporary allegiance to the United States can commit treason. Aliens who are domiciliaries of the United States, for example, can commit traitorous acts during the period of their domicile. A subversive act does not need to occur on U.S. soil to be punishable as treason. For example, Mildred Gillars, a U.S. citizen who became known as Axis Sally, was convicted of treason for broadcasting demoralizing propaganda to Allied forces in Europe from a Nazi radio station in Germany during World War II.

______________________________________________________________

Obama’s only hope was the argument that he is not a traitor because he is not in any meaningful sense an American, so he does not owe allegiance to our country. The law specifically covers those domiciled here, so even if Obama argues that he doesn’t owe allegiance to our country, that is irrelevant to whether he is a traitor.

People need to start chanting this en masse at any political gathering and refuse to be shut up. Better yet, make it the 'million citizen march,' take to the streets of Washington and other big cities and chant 'Impeach Obama.'

Please stop giving Linda air time. If we ignore it, it may just dry up and “blow” away.
