Joe Klein calls out Fox, Beck and Hannity for rousing the Tea Party

This program was good and I usually don't catch it. Klein had notes he scribbled prior to the show, looking up the definition of 'sedition'. The whole first half was pretty intent on bashin' baggers.

1. Joe Klein is still a hack.

2. Hacks can be correct, and his question whether this was sedition

was perhaps eye-opening for someone who never considered that possibility before.

3. that was a great show

his morning show has always been the best of the Sunday talking head shows but I stopped watching them all a couple of years ago. Just couldn't take it. After seeing that snippet I went to the web site and watched the whole show and it was exceptionally good. All four of them basically said the GOP and Fox (and Rush) are throwing gasoline on this and we'll have another McVeigh if the don't watch it.

4. Perhaps from now on

Mr. Klein will make the time and have the inclination to figure out who's dealing from the factual deck and who's indulging their own personal fantasies in the next controversy. Because it kind of matters, Joe, as you may now see.
