Sedition act was passed by the Federalists in order to prohibit all political opposition.

Ric, you gotta get a keyboard check ;-)

Let’s see — if you oppose me politically, you are lying. If you are lying, the power of the state should be used to prevent that. Who’s in Obama’s Truth Squad? Not some normal citizens who will oppose attacks on their candidate through the media — no, a bunch of government officials in the executive and judicial branches who’ve banded together and vowed to use the power of the state to intimidate and suppress unwanted speech by private citizens.

Sounds like they’re after sedition to me…

I think I will start calling my screwdriver “chimpy”

No reason to disparage the screwdriver. A screwdriver is an ingenious, and very useful, tool.

Chimpy is not.

Those who know war hate it the most.

Those on the extreme left who call themselves “anti-war” would start one if it helped them push their agenda through.

The extreme left aren’t anti-war. They could best be descibed as anti-America winning a war.

Tracy Jopek of Merrill told The Associated Press on Sunday she was honored that he remembered Sgt. Ryan David Jopek, who was killed in 2006 by a roadside bomb.

She criticized Internet reports that suggested Obama exploited her son for political purposes.

She acknowledges e-mailing the campaign in February asking that Obama not mention her son in speeches or debates. But she says Obama’s mention on Friday was appropriate because he was responding after Senator John McCain said a soldier’s mother gave him a bracelet.

Jopek says Obama’s comment rightfully suggested there’s more than one viewpoint on the war.

I’d rather not die in a terrorist attack.

Obama’s “Truth Squads” are already trampling the Constitution, in a return to the Sedition Acts. I think I’ll pass on that too.

So are you saying that our fundamental liberties under the constiution as Americans should be compromised in the name of security? As for the Sedition Acts, I think its extreme hyberbole to consider Obama’s lawer trying to enforce libel laws in Missouri as a return to the Sedition Acts. If your remember your history, Sedition act was passed by the Federalits in order to prohibit all poltical oppostion. And so people were actually arrested under the law. How can they “trample” the constitution when there are supporting a law deemed constinutional. Having said that, I think the Obama campaign should knock it off, they have the money to counter false claims, and its not worth the bad publicity.

I guess we can understand partly why the Jopek’s are divorced.

I’d much rather die in a terrorist attack, then live under a compromised constitution.

Good of you to admit that an Obama Presidency opens the way to more terrorist attacks.

How DARE democrats adopt a stance that always begins, “yes, terrorists are bad, BUT…” tolerance diversity miranda rights due process grand jury Dick Cheney, Haliburton.

BUT my ass! Democrats are traitors and it sickens me that the brave men and women on United 93 are SPAT on seven years later by these anti-American hacks.

It saddens me that a fellow citizen of mine would consider me a “traitor” for holding a different political opinion. Although I strongly disagree with many of McCain’s views, I respect the man and consider him a patriot. I’ve known some kind, decent, and patriotic republicans. I think that their opinion is wrong, but I think most of them hold it in good faith. As for your comments about democrats being over concerned about the due process of law and the constitution. I personally think the highest form of patriotism one can have is to put personal security aside to live free as an American. I’d much rather die in a terrorist attack, then live under a compromised constitution.

Per HotAir (in the Headlines section), it appears like the confirmation was received!

Did I “hammer“ too hard?

Once a tool, always a tool.

So yeah, I think she’s been asked to say something on behalf of Obama. Her ex-husband said she supported BO.

Chimpy can’t do anything for your fat head.

Oh wait, you were being sarcastic. So I guess we are to sink as low as the media and play their stupid game.

Shouldn’t make fun of your teammates like that.
