Just what does someone have to say to be charged with sedition?

I mean, precisely what IS sedition nowadays?

'Perhaps America Will Throw This Marxist Out Of Office And Imprison Him For Treason'

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Thursday, 1/9/2014 11:19 am

Via our good friend Erik Rush, we were alerted to this new video from the fine folks over at the Western Center for Journalism entitled, rather succinctly, "Communist Barack Obama Should Be in Prison." Guess what it's about? As the video explains, President Obama is a longtime communist who is working to transform America into a communist utopia through income redistribution and by collapsing the economy by implementing socialized medicine. Intent on destroying the middle class, Obama has created government-subsided health insurance in order to bring about a massive underclass that will be ruled over by elites such as himself and George Soros. In fact, Obama is intentionally working to destroy the economy in order to benefit banks and investment firms, which will somehow make billions of dollars by seeing the entire economy collapse.

Erik Rush: Americans Must 'Go To Any Length' To Stop 'Evil' Obama

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 1/9/2014 10:50 am

In yet another column advocating President Obama’s overthrow, WorldNetDaily’s Erik Rush today calls on “the American people to go to any length” to stop the Obama administration’s “designs to subjugate us” with its “statist agenda.”

Rush, who has called for the execution of the president and administration officials, writes that “those who govern us are evil and audacious” and pose “a clear and present danger to our liberties, the Constitution and the continuance of this nation.”

I think one would actually have to take up arms to be charged with a crime.

Many DUers would have been charged with sedition during the Bush years if that were a common charge at the time.

The conservative who "called for the execution of the president" (Obama) was referring to punishment after a trial.

Does that get me on the sedition list?
