Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh And Sarah Palin: Are They Guilty Of Sedition?

Maery 2010/04/19 18:06:00
Yes! Sarah Palin and crew are definitely guilty of sedition and need to stop their hateful rhetoric for the unity of our country.
No! Conservatives like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck are being targeted by liberals to censor their rhetoric. Accusing them of sedition is ridiculous.
I think the sedition accusation...
You!

Times columnist Joe Klein appeared on NBC's "The Chris Matthews Show" and all but accused Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin of being seditious. The legal definition of sedition is "a revolt or an incitement to revolt against established authority," and it is a felony. John Heilemann of New York Magazine, who was also on the show, agreed with Klein and added Rush Limbaugh to the list. Heilemann says that Limbaugh's rhetoric against the Obama administration and Obama himself is on par with sedition. Do you agree? Are outspoken conservatives like Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and Rush Limbaugh are guilty of sedition?

    Obama has had no more threats against him than any other President. At least no one has wrote a book about assassinating him like they did on Bush. You need to go back and read all the harsh speech again GWBush. I can't imagine much worse than what he had to put up with.

    These people are no more guilty of sedition than the people that said the same things about Bush. The problem we are facing now days is that both sides are acting like 6 year olds. They spend more time blaming eachother and fghting than they spend doing their jobs. If we don't all start working together, we're screwed. We can disagree without hating eachother. A house divided, can not stand.

    I think the liberal media is grabbing at what ever they can. Would they or did they say the same about themselves during the Bush administration, I don't think so. MSNBC and CNN all spoke against Bush, not once, not twice, but during his Presidency.

    then technically our president could be accused of treason against the united states of america. he undermines our constitution and now he is alowing extremists rebels to come into the usa under safe haven.

    the man does not respect this country

    and no i don't think they are guilty of sedition because there is no violent rhetoric.. when is it illegal to question something and do act on your freedom of speech. the only thing beck, palin, and limbaugh are guilty of is opposing the liberal's political ideals and freedom of speech.

    a revolt is To attempt to overthrow the authority of the state; rebel. and they are not attempting to overthrow they are acting legally by voting out people who are against america ideals and americas constitution and they are revealing truths at least beck is he shows the presidents agenda in the presidents own words and his advisors words


    as for the president treason is Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies. and could be A betrayal of trust or confidence.

    the president is guilty of treason he is acting in be half of our enemies in the nuclear treaty which will not be upheld by them all treaties are eventually broken, he is destroying our constitution and our freedoms hes waging political war on america by rotting it from the inside and now he is allowing rebels who were are enemies a safe haven

    it is rare act indeed when a president is impeached

    i just dont believe freedom of speech is sedition i feel sedition is going in there by force and starting a violent forceful revolt which beck , palin, limbaugh have not tried they just inform americans and tell them to speak up and not use violence

    do i feel obama is treacherous yes he is rotting this country from the inside out and turning on our allies and making nice with our enemies

    but besides the point we need to restore balance to our nation and congress so vote out the radicals in november

    If you go by the definition you provided, then yes, they all are. I don't care if they disagree, but I hate that they have to incite people. They should be more responsible than that. With Beck, he knows half the crap he says isn't true but it gets him ratings, and the ignorant public believe him.

    Wow, that is impossible to count. Beck's excessive lying problem is so extensive that trying to get an accurate count is impossible. Here's a list that I compiled trying to answer this in the past. You can find all of this in about 5 minutes of searching ... of course, it took me a little longer to wrap it and make it pretty for ya!

    1) 5/21/09 I originally wasn’t going to use this because it really doesn’t have to do with politics. I don’t want all the wing nuts to cry “they are liberals” etc just because of the people in it, which really has nothing to do with this. However, Beck is caught in an obvious lie, then his body language goes crazy (like when you’re caught in a lie), then he explains that he is not an investigative reporter, not a reporter, but a commentator who does not check facts at all. Those are his words … not mine. Why would someone go on air and smear someone for no good reason? What kind of jerk would do this?

    2) 7/13/09 This next clip is Beck talking about Judge Sotomayor’s first day of conformation hearings for the Supreme Court. Keep in mind that the first day of the hearing consisted of opening statements by each member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and NO actual questioning … Beck obviously didn’t know or care that was...

    3) 1/7/08 & 5/12/08 This next clip is HILIARIOUS! This is a funny look at Beck being anti-health care at CNN then at Fox, Beck, all of a sudden loves health care. What a hypocrite! It’s funny how the clip is done. Enjoy this one … its funny.

    http://rawstory.com/08/news/2...

    4) 4/21/09 This is a clip from Beck’s radio show. In the midst of urging his listeners to cut down old trees for Earth Day, Glenn Beck argued that carbon dioxide is not poison. Beck asked, “How can carbon dioxide be poison when it is naturally occurring and trees need it to grow?”
    3 Steps to Prove that CO2 is Poisonous :
    You will need a plastic bag, a role of tape, a friend (This test is also good for convincing your friends who don't believe that they need oxygen to survive).
    1). Take the plastic bag, and put it over your head. (Note: Check the plastic bag for any holes before you place it over your head. The test will not work with a ripped or torn bag).
    2). Have your friend securely tape the bag around your neck. (You could try to do this on your own, but it is much easier to have a friend do it for you).
    3). Breathe normally.

    5) 7/28/09 These clips show Beck’s racist comments against Obama... He has now lost over 40 sponsors because of these comments. Very Disturbing … how can some of you take this guy seriously or support him in these comments? The first clip is from a center right morning show (on MSNBC) and don’t even come with “they are left wing loons.” The Morning Joe show is NOT a lefty show and the host, Joe Scarborough, who was not there this particular day, is a Republican and the panel is very bipartisan. The second clip is the entire interview on Fox and Friends. I love how Beck can contradict himself in less than 10 seconds … “I’m not saying that he doesn’t like white people … I’m saying he has a problem … he has a … this guy is, I believe, a racist.” Nice.

    6) 2/12/09 & 9/21/07 This is hypocrisy at its finest. In this clip Glenn Beck slams Jesse Jackson, saying that calling Barack Obama white is a "racist statement". Beck called Barack Obama "very white" on his radio show on February 12th.


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?...


    7) 1/22/09 Glenn Beck lies about Obama’s swearing in by saying, “I checked. We have never had a president sworn into office without a Bible.” The problem here is in 1901 Teddy Roosevelt did not use a bible, Lyndon Johnson used a Catholic missal aboard Air Force One after Kennedy’s assassination, and John Quincy Adams used a constitutional law book instead of the bible. In fact, reading up on the history of the Presidential oath reveals Beck a liar. First clip is Beck’s rant and the second link is on the history of the oath.

    http://thinkprogress.org/2009...
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...


    8) 9/12 rally Here Beck is on Fox and Friends quoting the university of “I don’t remember,” saying the 9/12 crowd was around 1.7 million people. Meanwhile all independent analysts, like the local fire department, put the crowd at the 9/12 Fox rally at around 50,000 to 70,000, which is more than generous. Beck is caught in another lie!

    Great Clip which were provide by the Liberal media, I asked for your input not their input. Base you argument on issue you are truly aware of.
    Beck is correct, he is not a reporter but a commentator. But why are the so called educated Liberals on Liberal Media so afraid of a High School Graduate, oh damn Glenn Beck not even a college graduate. Been on the best sellers list many time and still there today. Hide nothing from the public, Birth Certificate, and Education all out there to all to see.

    Now your President, who has yet to provide a legal copy of a US Birth Certificate, nor educational proof. Headed up one of the most corrupt organization (ACORN) ever. Who is and can be tied to terrorist. Now that is a man to follow, great example of an American.

    That info I found about Obama, not provide by Conservative Media. Nothing about Obama can be found and justified. I just know what he is doing is scaring the crap out of me. If it mean the Tea Party Movement takes over America, so be it. I would rather have people like Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh out there speaking out against the wrong, then let the liberal media push a President that can not prove he know anything.

    Now go back and make your point based on facts you know and not what media tell you. Think for yourself, God gave you a brain.

    Now your actual statement. How is it a lie to say I am not a reporter. Where did he ever say he is a reporter. He reports what is said, he interrupts what is done.
    It is like Obama saying he is educated, no proof of a degree. Not from Yale, nor any other college. It does not exist.

    So called educate reporters, and politicians are afraid of a High School Graduate. What does that say about the Liberal Media.

    Name one Liberal Media person who has made more out of themselves. Beck has made more from less that any liberal media person.

    Who has start a media empire and made it successful.
    Been on the Best Sellers List as an Author, Even Barbara Walters had someone write her book.
    Oprah rode on the backs of others and even with her education, the book about her life was written by another. She does not even manage herself.
