These people calling for a revolution are the same people saying "Terrorists should be hung in public so liberals don't get any ideas" from 2001 to late 2008.

Subvert the democratic process like just happened by the current administration buying votes for the health care bill?

Cool, I'll be watching the news to hear of your exploits.

Can someone, anyone point me to the person or persons that have raised this hue and cry?. Has there been an attack by any group of American citizens calling for this revolt to begin? Talk about scare tactics to spool people up.........give it a break

Juss to recap for you: A liberal asked if the government could use the Smith Act to put the right wingers in jail who were advocating for armed insurrections. It was determined that no, they could not because the Supreme Court had found the Smith Act an unconstitutional abridgement of the freedom of speech. That's all.

Buying votes? I guess you've missed about 220 years of legislative wrangling.

Do you have a Venn diagram available to back up your assertion?

ADL? Didn't they used to be known as the Jewish Anti-Defamation League? Aren't they the ones who pushed for punishment of "non-politically correct" (anti-jewish) speech?
