Silencing Glenn Beck, Me, and You!
By Brian Jennings - April 23, 2010
Glenn Beck has been accused of being a "seditionist".  Joe Klein from Time Magazine told Chris Matthews on NBC, "I looked up the definition of sedition, which is 'conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of the state.'  And, alot of these statements, especially the ones coming from peoiple like Glenn Beck, and to a certain extent Sarah Palin, rub right next...right up close to being seditious."  Glenn's response:  "Now for someone to speak out is sedition." 

The target is not Glenn or other conservative talkers directly.  It is YOU....anyone who challenges the administration or its policies is a seditionist according to these people.  Even former President Clinton suggested on Friday that those who challenge government and public employees are "demonizing" and should be held responsible.  Clinton has spoken for a return of the Fairness Doctrine for radio which would eliminate many popular conservative talk shows. 

Is it possible that when one exercises free speech in America - speech that someone else disagrees with - that we are guilty of sedition?  Apparently.  Here is a link to a segment on the Glenn Beck show showing  how the far-liberal left is trying to demonize conservative thought and speech in America.  Thank you.
