Acts of sedition?
I watched on HBO the movie about the Obama campaign. It was interesting to see many reports and ads from states that were really competitive, that many of us, in reliable blue states, did not see.

I admit that I've never seen these hooligans screaming "Hussein Obama" holding a monkey, saying they were not going to vote for someone who was not "an American," or simply, for a black man. And, with this background I can appreciate McCain telling that idiotic woman, in public, that Obama was an American.

Anyway, when they were showing those morans telling the cameras why they were not going to vote for Obama holding the monkeys, David Axelrod - who started as an arrogant ass - said about them: these are acts of sedition.

And I could not help thinking: you have no idea what is coming in the future. Clearly the birthers, and the death panels and the teabaggers just continue what started during the campaign.

1. I'm pretty sure he said 'they are inciting people', calling it
irresponsible. I don't remember hearing the word sedition.

2. Perhaps you are correct
Still, inciting people it what they have been doing since the elections, and getting worse.

3. Definitely. All those crazies from the Palin rallies turned into the
teabaggers.

4. That happened in Allentown
I haven't seen the film, but the monkey guy during the election was at a Stabler Center McCain rally. A local union stood outside with Obama signs and a camera and it was a big hit on You Tube.

5. And this is why it is so scary
it starts with a "joke" and it ends with others coming to rallies wearing their guns and there are too many who believe every word that the teabaggers and other "populists" say.

We have been saying that "guns don't kill people, etc." Yet, we do understand the danger of words, of inciting words.

What will Beck and Limpdick and the rest of them say if someone will take them seriously and will attempt to harm the President? "Oh, just exercising my free speech..."

Let's see them try to run for office, stand in front of a hostile crowed and try to finish a sentence.
