Salon.com Editor: It Is “Un-American” And “Traitorous” For Republicans To Disagree With The One- With Video

News Busters:

Remember when dissent was supposed to be patriotic? Well, it seems that only applies when a Republican is president. Now that Barack Obama is in the White House, criticism of him is “un-American” and “traitorous.” This new “tolerant” view of dissent comes from Joan Walsh of Salon.Com as you can see in this Hardball video from Wednesday. Below is the Walsh money quote but please be sure to also watch the video since it is important to watch as she drops any facade of liberal tolerance and lets her true dogmatic soul reveal itself in both her face and voice which seems to border on dementia:

The climate right now is that Republicans use everything they can to undermine and delegitimize this president. And it‘s actually un-American. It‘s traitorous, in my opinion. Do you want to give aid and comfort to our enemies? Continue to treat this president like he wasn‘t elected and he doesn‘t know what he‘s doing! He knows what he did. He knows what he‘s doing. I‘m proud of him. I believe that he has the stalwart, resolute nature to get this done…

This hate filled outburst from Walsh came in the midst of a Hardball segment which also featured host Chris Matthews and guest Ron Christie, a Republican strategist, discussing President Obama’s response to terrorism. Here is the transcript:

MATTHEWS: … to the double dealing charge against you personally, sir, that you have a different attitude about President Bush and President Obama. President Bush took six days, according to the record, to respond to the shoe bomber. The president we have now, our president, took three days or 72 hours, I believe it was.

What‘s the difference in the way you score this? You seem to score it differently—is there is bell curve for Republicans…

WALSH: Really!

MATTHEWS: … where they‘re given more time? Is this the Katrina rule, where if it‘s anything faster than a week, it‘s somehow Speedy Gonzalez here?

(LAUGHTER)

CHRISTIE: Chris…

MATTHEWS: I mean, why do you give credit to Bush for six days you don‘t give to this president for three days? What‘s your scorecard, sir?

CHRISTIE: I‘m not looking at a scorecard, Chris.

MATTHEWS: Well, what are you looking at?

CHRISTIE: I‘m looking at connecting the dots. If you go back to Major Hasan Nidal (SIC) this past summer…

MATTHEWS: You‘re changing the subject.

CHRISTIE: … the shooting at Ft. Hood…

MATTHEWS: Why does Bush get six days?

CHRISTIE: No, no, Chris! No! I‘m going to actually answer this question. Again, we had a very tepid response from the Obama administration initially. First they said everything was under control. Then they said it was an isolated incident. Then we come forward to the Christmas incident. Chris, the difference is one thing and one thing only, Christmas Day is one of the most holiest day in the Christian religious faith.

MATTHEWS: Yes.

CHRISTIE: This was a radicalized Muslim who tried to kill 300 Americans on Christmas Day. I wanted my president to come out and say, We recognize this is an act of terror by a radicalized Muslim on Christmas Day…

WALSH: That‘s ridiculous.

CHRISTIE: … and we have the situation under control.

MATTHEWS: Why did he have to say “radicalized Muslim”? Why is that lingo so important to you?

WALSH: Richard Reid was a radicalized Muslim three days before Christmas. I had relatives flying in. It was 2001. I was actually scared to death at that point. So were a lot of Americans. But nobody thought to bray about President Bush staying on his vacation because that wasn‘t the climate at the time.

The climate right now is that Republicans use everything they can to undermine and delegitimize this president. And it‘s actually un-American. It‘s traitorous, in my opinion. Do you want to give aid and comfort to our enemies? Continue to treat this president like he wasn‘t elected and he doesn‘t know what he‘s doing! He knows what he did. He knows what he‘s doing. I‘m proud of him. I believe that he has the stalwart, resolute nature to get this done. In my opinion, sometimes he goes too far, but to talk about him like he‘s some socialist out-to-lunch…

MATTHEWS: OK…

WALSH: … is just outrageous!

Perhaps Walsh needs to be thanked for openly displaying the true face of political intolerance on the part of liberals.

    The Looney Liberal Left view their anointed leaders as gods, who are completely infallible. If you’re on the Right, or you disagree with Chairman Zero in any way, you’re branded as a racist, bigot, etc.

    They used every chance that they could to denigrate Colin Powell and Condie Rice by calling them “Uncle Toms”, “House Niggers” and “Oreos”. If that’s not racist, I don’t know what is. I find more racism on the Left than I do on the Right.

  • thrasymakhos

    :shock: “Nobody thought to bray about President Bush…..?” LOL! Lady, I was there. People like you were actively involved on a minute by minute basis trying to “undermine and delegitimize” a good President and a good man from the very moment he took office – “Bush stole the election” and “Bush Lied and People Died.” – over and over and over again for 8 freaking years! The only thing “outrageous” is the fact that you are still drawing a ration of air.

    Time for the likes of Joan and Chris to go bye bey http://patdollard.com/2010/01/ya-say-you-want-a-resolution/

    Apparently, Joan Walsh forgot that she wrote this about then President George W. Bush back on May 18, 2002:

    Bush’s hiding behind his minions Thursday raised bad memories of Sept. 11, when he spent the day hopping around the country from one high-security location to the next while his advisors claimed (falsely) he was being protected from threats against him. This time, he needs to stand before the public and answer the dozens of tough questions that are being raised about his administration’s state of awareness before 9/11. The White House needs to drop the script and put the president in front of the press corps.

    I’d say you were pretty damn “Un-American” and “Traitorous” back in 2002, Joan….wouldn’t you?

      Wow. Bitch is busted.

      Nice work, DiNozzo!

    • RexRedbone

      Come on Holger she said that back in 2002 she can`t be held accountable for what she said then LOL but to talk about him like he‘s some socialist out-to-lunch…
      She said it and gee the truth hurts Joan Walsh this is your shit soup and now you own it

    • http://www.dirtydozensbunker.com Sanders

      Now, Holger, don’t you know that for libtards, history begins anew every morning? What is past is past and forgotten, according to them. Unless you are a Republican, that is. Then whatever transgression you may have committed in your youth will haunt you until you die.

    • Nanny

      Sanders – have to be fucking kidding? Liberals wake up and what is past is past and forgotten. Every time a liberal opens his mouth about something it is Bush’s fault! Two Penny Jenny Granholm has been our governor for 7 years, Michigan is now a shit hole and growing smaller in population by 7 families per day and she is still blaming Engler and/or Bush. She takes no responsibility whatsoever. Our Lt. Gov is John Cherry and he is running for gov. on the premise that Two Penny Jenny is doing a stellar job given what she “inherited” from Engler and Pres. Bush. It never ends. By the way pull up Steven Crowder’s piece on Detroit at PJTV – it hits the nail on the head of what liberism can do to a once great city.

  • Rand

    Joan Walsh, as we are still America and as HILARY Clinton would say, We HAVE A RIGHT TO DISAGREE with whomever or whatever. the freedom of speech is still intact. If you cant handle the truth then just dont listen like our lawmakers! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • Lock and Load

    Is this the kind of drivel that passes for political debate these days :?: A pissing contest about who did what quicker :roll: Why any Republican would even show up for one of these idiot shows is a mystery to me. It’s frustrating as hell to see the BLATANT hypocrisy of these leftist idiots – Walsh’s tirade is a perfect description of the left’s behavior for the entire 8 years under GWB. How could we forget the Hillary tirade about how any administration deserves to be questioned :shock: These people are beyond pathetic – they are insane :???:

    • Nanny

      I don’t understand why anyone would want to appear on the Chris Tingles show anyway – he is an absolute idiot and moron!

  • eddiep

    This is just amazing. Everyone seems to forget the left and this salon wench bemoaning GW Bush and braying that GW had actually lost the 2000 election and that Owl Gore was actually POTUS. Or things like GW was a “chimp in a monkey suit” or how about how the left made poltical inroads by hyping our losses in the field of battle in Iraq and thusly helping the Insurgents and al Qaieda in the process, all so they could get control of Congress back really bitch who is the real trator here. And if were going to speak of de legit why has “the one” spent nearly 3 million dollars to block the release of ALL of his documentation. We know less about ODUMMER now than we did before he ran and was elected POTUS. Bush and every other candidate released their records why is Odummer getting a free pass from the media and the courts? Oh right forgot the State Controlled Media is the gate keeper of that information to the citizens of the United States of America ! And when we question the simple fact that Odummer’s admin. had been warned beforehand by this guys father no less were un American trators seditionists? It just goes to show that the Salon and the rest of the liberal pundits are now screaming foul when they are merely getting the same treatment they gave us. Furthermore GW was knee deep in fighting back al Qaieda when the shoe bomber hit. And GW called it what it rightfully should be called, the War on Terror. Not some man made disaster. GW sicked the US military on them and now Odummer pulls back the military and sicks AG Holder on them? Oh I bet they are trembling in their sandals over that one ! We are asking legitmate questions for a reason. And they have their balls and tits in the caught in the wringer for obvious reasons. Could you imagine if Tom Ridge had said that the system worked like Napalatano had? He would have been out of a job so fast it would have made your head spin. No people this is simply the fact that the left is seeing that our efforts to hold not just the Democrats responsible but Obama too and as a result his numbers have dropped significantly, (today Obama got a -18 at Rasmussen Reports and holding steady)and will surely continue to crumble in the future. Its obvious and falling flat when the left cry foul because they are getting busted for their efforts to destroy our economy, our Constitution and our Republic. I couldnt be happier we just have to remember what to say and when to say it when these creeps come up with this caustic double standard crap.

    • eddiep

      Just one more thing the only person de legitimizing Obama is Obama!!!! Were simply pointing out the “one” seems to have the same track record as Idi Aminn Da Da, he seems to always get it WRONG !!!!

    These Uber-Leftists sound just like Hugo Chavez, and like Chavez, lack any credibility. Fuck these people, Salon and the rest. Unfortunately, were going to have to put up with this shit for the next three years!

  • Alpha

    Precisely the same sentiment that allowed a Holocaust to occur. No one dare oppose the Fuhrer huh? There’s a Bible verse that says when the blind leads the blind they both end up in the ditch… Well,not this one.

  • Sully

    Which is exactly the reason I know there can be no reconciliation of current politics in this country.
    There is nothing “liberal” about them.
    They are Marxists and have been at war with America for about ten years now.
    ObamaCare and CapNTax are attempts at coup by legislation.
    Using our own system against us as Alinsky trained them.

    • Nanny

      Sully it has been longer than 10 years! More like 50-60 years starting with Roosevelt. Once they infiltrated our public school system our republic started to crumble. Forcing Marxist ideas down the throats of children resulted in the downturn of morals and responsibility under the guise of helping the “less fortunate”. Look how welfare has evolved and that started under Johnson. It goes back a lot farther than 10 years. It’s just that they now operate in the open under the heading of the Democrat party. They don’t like the signage of liberal they prefer “progressive”. I believe that is what George Soros refers to himself as.

    • brityank

      Nanny – It started before Roosevelt; the termites got into the federal system thanks to Wilson and his handlers. If anyone is the blueprint for Soetoro/Obama – Wilson is it.

  • The Sentinel at the Gate

    Gawd, Piss Mathews is an absolute disgrace to any suggestion of journalism – and the liberal retards on there just amplify his absolute idol worship of Ovomit. I’ll bet if they could, they would have their idol on for the purpose of “Honking on Bobo’s Nose” if there were no restraints for decency’s sake.

    Joan Walsh, another target for water-boarding using a diluted acid solution once the Civil War breaks out….the list is getting long. But Obongo goes first….. always. That would be PATRIOTIC…..

  • ODIN2012

    Unti-American? Just because I think our country is in the shitter? Because we have socialists elites taking us to Obamatown,(that’s a little village in Kenya where the natives live in cardboard boxes and eat eachother.) Damn! I need a libreal to punch! :mad:

  • Tom in CO

    Liberal tolerance on parade. :roll:

  • cold soldier

    “He knows what he did”. “He knows what he’s doing”.

    I’m quite clear on “What he’s doing”, what I, and the rest of America, is a little hazey on is “What he did”. As far as I can tell, I had more jobs by the age of 19, than this man has had his whole life.
    p.s. barry, college=education, and community organizing= a movement, neither of which= employment …and both of which, are supported by the public dollar which=WELFARE :evil:

    We’ve long known the agenda of these communist asshats…..
    We know they’re willing to lie,to cheat,to steal and if they have to…. sell us and our children into slavery for the next 200 years to accomplish their marxist dreams.
    They’ve already won the Revolution and are now drunk with power…..think about it….a communist is now the leader of the United States of America. Did you ever think that could be possible ? I didn’t !!
    It’s now time for the counter-revolution to take OUR country back ! After all we’ve seen do you think we can accomplish this through the ballot ? I think not….not if you want your constitutional republic back.
    The republicans are busy enslaving us just like the democrats but they pretend to be our brothers.
    You known their agenda to be a lie also.

    It’s time to stand and Restore The Constitution with your brothers in arms !! God bless the republic !!

    Fuck the bitch. Obama, his entire administration, and all of his enablers and constituents, including his voting block, should be tried for treason and sedition

    We’re no traitors. We are the Praetorian Guard of the Constitution of the United States of America.

    Next year is the year articles of impeachment get drawn up.

  • Sully

    Yeah Nanny and brityank…. Woody Wilson is the start. That’s the reason I say it’s going to take more than one election cycle to unwind 100 years of Marxist/Progressive infiltration.
    We can pretty much accept and act upon that reality or start shooting now.
    I’m ready either way.

    To question the patriotism of those who take an oath, then fight and die, to protect their right to question anything is a very dangerous game. I hope they keep it up – sides are forming and battle lines being drawn … and a day of reckoning is on the horizon.
