Inflammatory rhetoric or criminal intent?

Radio talk show host calls for murder of anti-war activist
By Nick Langewis Sunday, 15 June 2008
Michael Reagan, radio talk show host and son of late president Ronald Reagan, could be investigated by the FBI after he called for the execution of Mark Dice, anti-war activist and founder of media watchdog group The Resistance,http://www.theresistancemanifesto.com/index.php on the air.
On the June 10th edition of his nationally syndicated Radio America show, Reagan called Dice and others in the “9/11 Truth” movement “traitors” after learning that they were sending letters, declassified documents and DVDs to troops in Iraq that they say point to government involvement in the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001.
The effort is part of The Resistance’s “Operation Inform the Soldiers.”
“I don’t want the soldiers who are risking their lives in Iraq to be used as pawns in the creation of the New World Order,” Dice said in a recent press release. “I personally know U.S. Marines who believe 9/11 was an inside job, and they tell me that many Marines suspect that this is the case but are afraid to speak up out of fear of punishment.”
“We ought to find the people who are doing this,” Reagan said, “take ‘em out, and shoot ‘em. Really. Just find the people who are sending those letters…to demoralize our troops…they are traitors to this country…and shoot them. You have a problem with that? Deal with it. But anybody who would do that doesn’t deserve to live. You call them traitors–that’s what they are–and you shoot ‘em dead. I’ll pay for the bullet.”
“How about you take Mark Dice out,” Reagan continued, “and put him in the middle of the firing range? Tie him to a post, don’t blindfold him, and let it rip and have some fun with Mark Dice.”
“Now we know where the Ron Paul supporters went,” quipped a co-host.
On Sunday, Dice announced on his website that he received a personal apology from Reagan and will appear on Reagan’s show to receive an on-air apology Monday, June 16th, at 3:30pm Pacific.
“While I understand different political opinions can result in heated arguments, Reagan’s statements are completely unacceptable, un-American, and extremely dangerous,” Dice said. “Reagan has elevated the hate and rhetoric aimed at those who disagree with this war to new and unprecedented level. He must be fired immediately and no other radio or TV network should let his voice be heard, or his face be seen.
“Despite Reagan’s apology,” Dice continued, “the Pandora’s box that he opened can never be closed. The ramifications of his threats and suggestions are enormous and frightening. In an age where a few clicks of a keyboard can result in anyone’s home address being found, Reagan’s comments open the door for stalking, vandalism, and worse. Any threats made will be forwarded immediately to the FBI and the appropriate legal action will be taken.”
However the same can be said regarding the actions of Dice's group. Their actions may quite literally be considered treasonous.
Treason
1. the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign.
2. a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state.
3. the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery.
Don't see how info on 9/11 would fit the definition.

This man should spend some time in the pokey over this. If anything bad happens to Dice, 10 years in Leavenworth for him....

if the documents were declassified, where's the treason?
writing letters and making dvd's full of speculation is not treason either - I've seen "Loose Change" - the only thing that is really documented is the unusual financial transactions and stock market activity right before 9-11.

I am not familiar with the details of the groups actions, just going by the comments in the article. And I really don't care to take it any further than that.
I said that the group's actions MAY be considered treasonous. Not necessarily based upon the content of the information sent to the troops, but rather their intent.
If their intent is to demoralize the troops in a war theater, to the detriment of our nation and those very same troops, that's treasonable.
Take for example, Jane Fonda's actions during the Vietnam war... While I agreed with her political position on the war, her actions were treasonable.

Mikey should spare us all the hollow apology. This is the same human waste who not long ago said on the air that Howard Dean should be "arrested for treason and hung" for opposing the war.

Sounds as if Mikey Reagan is a one trick pony.

What if the intent is to tell the TRUTH?
I think the NeoCons are the treasonous ones - pushing for war in Iraq since 1999 to preserve their outmoded oil paradigm under the guise of national security.

While I think Reagan should be fired for his remarks, I also think Dice is spreading propaganda and conspiracy theories which can hurt the military. The guy is a loon and conspiracy theorist.
Here is a little background on the guy:
Quote:
Mark Dice, also known as John Conner (both may be pseudonyms—verification by a reliable source is lacking), is a YouTuber, culture jammer and author based in San Diego, California.
Dice/Conner either founded or took over (sources differ) an organization,[1] variously called The Resistance for Christ, The Christian Resistance or The Resistance, which professes conspiratorial beliefs about the illuminati, freemasons, Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove, the 9/11 attacks and satanism, and which has been reported to "flood the airwaves of call-in radio and television shows"[2] to promote them.
He has called for the Georgia Guidestones to be removed from public property,[2][3] protested a Jessica Simpson music video,[1] called for a boycott of the VeriChip,[1][4] called for a boycott of an Oliver Stone film,[5] called for Duke University to change the name of its sports team,[6] called for rapper 50 Cent to stop wearing a cross,[7] and claimed that Tom Cruise worships satan.[8]
He markets an assortment of products on a website which, according to The Inquirer's Nick Farrell,[1] is "full of tin foil hat wearing paranoia" that is "carried off in an amusing way."

Unless you can show where Dice has publicly advocated for the death of a political opponent, you're info doesn't even come close. Is Dice a loon? Yeppers. But there's no crime against that. As far as hurting the miliatary, if what he's doing is criminal, then many of us on this board are criminals, too. Don't think so.

...and where did I say it was the same thing? I said it was hurting the military by spreading propaganda and outright lies. How do you come come up with these things?
