The 'Seditious' Sarah Palin

*
The unhinged left is moonbat-guano crazy in its Palin derangement:

Liberals are all too often eager to charge conservative personalities of using hyperbole to gain a political advantage, especially when it contradicts their world view - whether it's suggesting the Obama administration is taking the country down the path of socialism, fascism or any other -ism.

However, it could be argued there's a different set of standards for those same people when they want to make strong charges. On NBC's April 18 "The Chris Matthews Show," Time columnist Joe Klein all but accused former GOP vice-presidential nominee and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, along with Fox News host Glenn Beck of sedition.

"I did a little bit of research just before this show - it's on this little napkin here. I looked up the definition of sedition which is conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of the state. And a lot of these statements, especially the ones coming from people like Glenn Beck and to a certain extent Sarah Palin, rub right up close to being seditious."

NRO's Daniel Foster adds:

Co-panelist John Heilemann heartily agreed, and cited Rush Limbaugh's references to the "Obama regime" as further evidence.

Of course, a Google search for "Bush regime" yields over 1.4 million hits; and liberal talking heads often used the phrase to describe the previous administration. In fact, Matthews was himself embarrassed last week when, after making Heilemann's same point, his own on-air references to the "Bush regime" surfaced.

Curious that liberal research ignores those 1.4 million references to "Bush Regime," but "progressives" are never going to let a mere thing like hypocrisy get in the way of demonizing conservatives. But what is more disturbing is that Klein seems to be longing for the "good old days" of the Alien and Sedition Acts. Now that's scary.
