The traitorous and criminal activities against our President and our country.

[kentuck]

I don't how else you could define it?

The popular webpage, FaceBook, had a poll whether or not the President should be killed? That's right! A poll whether or not our President should be killed! If that is not criminal, I don't know what is? The FBI should have every name that agreed with that poll. This is disturbing.

Also, it was reported by some folks at the right-wing, Newsmax, that "Extremists who oppose the president have begun fantasizing about a military coup to overthrow Obama.

Newsmax columnist John Perry wrote Tuesday that President Obama "is inviting" a military coup and that it might not be such a bad thing: "Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars."

Newsmax subsequently took the column down. A spokesperson told Talking Points Memo, "Newsmax strongly believes in the principles of Constitutional government and would never advocate or insinuate any suggestion of an activity that would undermine our democracy or democratic institutions." However, she also defended Perry's column, saying that he "clearly stated that he was not advocating such a scenario but simply describing one." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/30/obama-coup-fantasized-abo_n_304231.html

If this is not traitorous, then what is??

The stuff I have seen seems to have crosssed the line between "free Speech" and advocating the overthrow of the government.

2. Absolutely!

It has crossed the line.

3. I truly don't understand why this law is not being enforced against these RW'ers.

Never during the 8 miserable years of Bush, did I ever hear any Democrat suggest a military coup to overthrow him, despite the fact that he was appointed, despite his lying us into a war, despite his flagrant abuse of constitutional law and signed treaties.

That fucker at NewsMax was clearly advocating someone in the military do this, and I don't know how anyone could read his shit-piece any differently. He should answer in court.

4. The installation of BUSH/CHENEY was a fascist coup...

5. Correct

Anyone who still thinks this is a free country is living in lala land.
