Resurrecting Alien & Sedition Laws?

You gotta be kidding me. Actually, no. The left continues its assault on free speech:

"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." ~ Time Columnist Joe Klein

Sounds like somebody's just a tad paranoid to me. Klein might want to brush up on some recent history of how the courts look at "seditious" statements.

"The Alien and Sedition Laws constituted one of our sorriest chapters; and I had thought we had done with them forever ... Suppression of speech as an effective police measure is an old, old device, outlawed by our Constitution." ~ Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas
 

I suppose this type of "sedition" is ok:
