Can anyone out there reasonably hope to defend either Rush Limbaugh(right) or Sean Hannity (left) against such charges? Just TODAY Mr. Limbaugh talked about the possibility of a coup d'etat, and Friday Mr. Hannity devoted considerable air time to his public embarrassment of President Obama, condemning him for not understanding America, its history, or how the government is supposed to work.
Why are we allowing these people to actively foment and promote treason and sedition?
Political criticism is one thing, but the right-wing extremists in this country have gone WAY across the line. When their followers started arming themselves at public political rallies, we should have all been put on notice; we need to put these guys in jail where they belong! Show this 'democracy' that we have the stones to enforce laws that ensure a stable government!
You don't like health care reform? Fine. You think the country's leaning too far toward socialism? OK. But if you start spreading rumors that our President is somehow illegimate, if you think screaming, yelling, gun-carrying public disruptions of the peace are part of the political process, you should be locked up!
