Patrick says Obama critics are 'almost at the level of sedition'
Governor Deval Patrick, even as he decried partisanship in Washington, said today that Republican opposition to President Obama’s agenda has become so obstinate that it “is almost at the level of sedition.”The Democratic governor, who is close to the president, made the comments at a forum at Suffolk Law School's Rappaport Center, where he was asked by an audience member about partisan battling in Congress.
Patrick said that even "on my worst day, when I’m most frustrated about folks who seem to rooting for failure," he doesn't face anything like the opposition faced by the president.
"It seems like child’s play compared to what is going on in Washington, where it is almost at the level of sedition, it feels to like me,” Patrick said.
Ah, yes. Dissent is sedition. We all remember how "dissent" was viewed under the last administration, don't we? No? Here's a quick recap:
The President himself is the traitor
Video montage of patriotic dissent
Comparing the President to Hitler
The President "criminalized" protesting
Wow, it looks like that last President sure cracked down hard on those that disagreed with him. I mean, President HopeyChangey spent the first year in office throwing open the doors of the Bastille and letting out all the political prisoners, right? He damn near broke his arm signing Executive orders that stopped things like protest zones, right? At least he closed down the gulag, right?
Yep. When the President has an (R) after his name, dissent is grand ol' patriotism wrapped up i the American flag and served with apple pie. When the President has a (D) after his name, it's gravest treason punishable only, one assumes, by forcible re-education and/or the gallows. That's how these people think - if you dissent you must be destroyed. They just spent the last eight year projecting their hopes, dreams, and desires as to what they'd do with that power onto the existing president.
Make no mistake - these fuckers would just as soon march you and I onto the cattle cars as look at us.
That is all.

The least accommodating person on the planet is a liberal, who just moments earlier told you how tolerant they were, hearing that you are a small government conservative/libertarian. If you wanna feel the love & tolerance, disagree with a liberal.
Hey, the right can be mean. The left is absolutely vicious.
Too bad that the moron that is your governor is going to win in a cakewalk.
Don't you just love the double standard? Of course it helps that Patrick wants to be in the news for something other than another failure on his part too. . . say telling the local Muslims how we repress them . . . .
Problem with November is we have a three way race RW, otherwise I think Patrick would lose this year.
That was Cahill's plan all along - I wonder what kind of sweetheart deal he got cut from the Øbama administration?
Baker and the GOP have been spending precious campaign $$$ shooting salvos at Cahill, all the while Patrick calls press conferences and gets his mug out for free.
You can't tell me that wasn't planned from Day One...
Make no mistake - these fuckers would just as soon march you and I onto the cattle cars as look at us.
All hail the Second Amendment!
I have to admit there are distinct advantages to not living in MA anymore.......
Combine Patrick's comments with the thug tactics of Obama's pet union in Maryland and it adds to something VERY scary.
All I can say is that they'll be hauling my dead body to the cattle car.
You left out "How dare you question my patriotism?"
It's a yawn listening to lefties. The press has lobbed so many softballs at them for so long, that they get shocked when there's actual criticism. They don't know how to deal with it, and panic.
I'm only surprised that Cadillac didn't call everyone racists.
Every day I thank the good lord that I was born & raised in Georgia, where a Democrat - outside of the deep blue districts...oh, let's be honest, outside the congressional black caucus areas around Atlanta (racist!) - is well to the right of your average northeastern Republican.
The days of Jimmuh Cartuh are long over down here.

Don't you just love the double standard?

I keep saying, maybe one of these days the folks on the left will hold themselves to a FOURTH of the standard that they hold "us" against. That would be quite the leap from the current, indeed.
_ALMOST_ sedition? Dangit, I am not sure my knob goes any higher. Here I thought I was fomenting outright rebellion.
That's why I refer to the divide in this country not as a culture war, but as a cold civil war.
