Saying someone doesn't have the US best interests at heart
is very different in degrees to
A) Actually trying to sabotagethe US,
B) Overthrow the US
C) Make war against the US
D) Seriously injure the US
These 4 options are the different means of the word treason. There is a big difference in degree.
------
But I kinda agree with you Isaac the big deal is not calling Ben Bernanke (US Fed Chair) a traitor, but instead in my mind the call to violence/suggesting that Ben Bernanke was in Texas he would be lynched.
Most of the media is focusing on the traitor part but not on the second part on the call of violence.

No one is going to talk about Rick Perry threatening to lynch the Fed Chair?

"Hyperbole". That is exactly the word I was just thinking to describe the situation.

I'd like to see some examples of both sides accusing each other of treason.

I fail to see how he accused anyone of treason, or urged violence, but OK.

He left it vague, so he gets away with promoting violence; that's "free speech" now.

I took his comment to be something meant to appeal to the Tea Party segment, but came out wrong.

Or you could just skip the R altogether if that's not what you want.

You're right; liberals like Karl Rove and Ron Paul are already criticizing his comment.

Why do liberals always object when people urge political violence against us?
