More lefty treason at HuffPo
For a while now, Daily Kos and Democratic Underground have cornered the market on traitors and rabid Marxists, but Huffington Post has been working hard to get points on the board. Saturday afternoon, columnist Martin Lewis revealed his unhinged hatred of President Bush, as well as his ignorance of history and the Constitution. He posted a letter to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Peter Pace, called General Pace, You Can Save the US – by Arresting Bush for “Conduct Unbecoming” in which he urges a military coup.
General Pace – you have the power to fulfill your responsibility to protect the troops under your command. Indeed you have an obligation to do so.You can relieve the President of his command.
Not of his Presidency. But of his military role as Commander-In-Chief.
…
In addition to relieving him of his command as Commander-In-Chief, you also have authority to place the President under MILITARY arrest
Is this what Democrats call “supporting the troops”?
Apparently, this asshat realizes the subversive nature of his request, but just like a child who wants his own way, asks anyhow.
To be crystal clear – I am NOT advocating or inciting you to undertake any illegal act, insurrection, mutiny, putsch or military coup.
“Um, yeah, Mr. General, sir? I know it’s illegal to do what I’m asking, but I really, REEEALLY want it, and you’d be doing a huge favor to those of us that can’t stand George W. Bush, so would you please remove him from office for us?”
What an ultra-maroon.
Lewis must have been asleep in civics class, as he doesn’t realize that the military falls under civilian supervision. And the President doesn’t serve the Joint Chiefs nor the military. And they have no authority with which to remove him. Plus, you can’t remove the President from his position as Commander-In-Chief while leaving him in place. The only legal way to remove a sitting President is impeachment. And since the anti-Bush moonbats know they have no proper cause to remove the man they loathe so deeply, they’re desperate for anything to achieve their ends short of a full armed uprising (which they probably aren’t considering only because they’re against personal ownership of firearms and don’t own any – that, and they’d be shot dead in the streets as the traitors they are). Much better to urge others to subvert the Constitution to unseat a twice-elected chief executive with whom they disagree.
I’m wondering if this new burst of anti-Bush sentiment is due to the fact that the surge is working and it’s looking more and more like President Bush will come out on top as having been right all along – despite his numerous mistakes – which means the anti-war Dems will be proven to have been on the wrong side. Yet again.
