Quote of the Day – Joe Klein sedition edition
Joe Klein joins Joan Walsh as charter members of “history began on Jan. 2oth 2009″ club:
On the Chris Mathews Show Sunday, I said that some of the right-wing infotainment gasbags–people like Glenn Beck etc.–were nudging up close to the edge of sedition. This has caused a bit of a self-righteous ruckus on the right. Let me be clear: dissent isn’t sedition. Questioning an Administration’s policies isn’t sedition. But questioning an Administration’s legitimacy in a manner intended to undermine or overthrow it certainly is.
Speaking of gasbags, where the hell were you from 2000 on, Mr. Klein? Plenty of opportunities during those 8 years to be pointing the “sedition” finger. Why didn’t you?
