Republicans Support Treason

Now, Faux News joins the choir:
FOX News anchor John Gibson just said onair that he thought Karl Rove deserves a medal [Oliver wrote "memo," but I assume he meant medal] if he outed Valerie Plame. Let me repeat: John Gibson, anchor at the FOX News Channel, says he believes that we ought to expose our covert government agents and harm national security... as long as it benefits Republicans. So, that's what Republicans have been reduced to. After denying Rove had any part in this for two years, now that they can no longer deny Rove was the treasonous leaker, they have decided that treason is a good thing.Did I say the word "treason" enough in this post? I don't think so.
Update:CNN registers with the Republican Party:
BOB FRANKEN (national correspondent): And just a nod from the president, but no answer, Kyra, when he was asked about Karl Rove today at a photo op. Kyra?PHILIPS: Bob, definitely a major smear campaign going on. I mean, what's the chances of hearing from Karl Rove? Could he speak? Could he come forward? A lot of people said that could just clear the air if he just came forward and gave the facts.
FRANKEN: Well, the White House would respond that the Democrats are involved in something akin to a smear campaign. The Democrats would only say that they're only interested in good government. And the White House says that in the context of an investigation that's ongoing Karl Rove should not speak.
What an atrocity. You can also se the video of Gibson suggesting awarding medals for treason here.Tags: Republicans (all tags)
