A couple of days ago I did something I didn’t want to do. I banned a frequent Donklephant commenter from the site for suggesting that a NY Times editor should be handed over to terrorists. Why was he so angry that he said something like this? Well, because the NY Times printed information about the government searching through our bank records.

Those comments got me thinking, particularly about how many people are crying “Treason!� Not only in the right-wing blogosphere, but also in supposedly fair and balanced media.

As I considered that, I realized that these people are actually calling for journalists to be killed for the “secrets� they’re reporting. Yes, death.

So while those who cry treason proclaim the press to be the most dangerous institution in the country, I’m pointing the finger right back in their faces.

Read the rest of my thoughts over on Donklephant.
