So says the Governor of the State of Massachusetts.
Amazing what constitutes sedition today. Democrats have reminded us nearly every week how unpatriotic everyone who opposes Obama is, and now they are also guilty of sedition.
Of course the guy modified his statement later - who wouldn't given the ... problems he would have if he didn't. All of the Democrats in the last 12 months who have called opposition to Obama unpatriotic, racist, and sedition, have later modified their statements. When Republicans said something was unpatriotic - it was not opposition that was questionable, it was motives and purpose. Besides that - no one ever said opposing Bush was unpatriotic. No one from the government - go find it and check. One of those stories that was built on stories built on lies. But that doesn't matter - not when you have the certainty of your faith - Obama.
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.
Merriam-Webster.com, the dictionary site, defines sedition as "incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.''
After the forum, Patrick explained his remarks.
“I think that the number of people in the Grand Old Party who seem to be absolutely committed to saying ‘no,' whenever he says ‘yes,’ no matter what it is, even if it’s an idea that they came up with, is just extraordinary,” the governor told reporters after the forum.
But did the opposition really border on sedition?
“That was a rhetorical flourish,” Patrick said.
In a statement released a few hours after his comments were posted on Boston.com and other websites, the chairwoman of the state Republican Party criticized Patrick.
"Apparently our First Amendment rights are only guaranteed if we agree with the tax-and-spend policies of Deval Patrick and Barack Obama,'' Jennifer Nassour, chairwoman of the state GOP, said.
She added, "the governor should focus on the critical issues at hand, like (lowering) property taxes and controlling rampant spending, instead of defending his buddy President Obama."
