U.S. leg of Live Earth hits key notes - Newsday.com
U.S. Constitution. Article 3 Section 3 on Treason:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
Robert Kennedy Jr. at Live Earth
However, Etheridge aside, it was nonmusicians at this concert who made the most passionate pleas about demanding action for the environment. "Get rid of all these rotten politicians that we have in Washington, who are nothing more than corporate toadies," said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the environmentalist author, president of Waterkeeper Alliance and Robert F. Kennedy's son, who grew hoarse from shouting. "This is treason. And we need to start treating them as traitors."
Simply lunacy. Who is "them"? Humanity?

Of course, you took it all out of context and have neither read the actual transcript, seen the video, or heard the audio of his speech. How's The Right Wing Echo Chamber today nitwit ?

I did in fact watch a video that had his audio. But you are correct I did not read the actual transcript. So for those interested:
The most important thing you can do is get involved in the political process, and get rid of all these rotten politicians that we have in Washington D.C.
Who are nothing more than corporate toadies for companies like Exxon [Mobile Corporation] and Southern Company, these villainous companies that consistently put their private financial interest ahead of American interest and ahead of the interest of all of humanity. This is treason. And we need to start treating them now as traitors.
So as I said RFK Jr. (the real one, not the poster) equates treason to companies who desire to make a profit. It is debatable weather they are actually putting their interests over America's interest, and even more of a stretch to link them to crimes against humanity (treason). RFK Jr. wants us to treat these companies like traitors.
So please RFK Jr. (the poster this time) tell me where I have gone wrong instead of just engaging in ad hominem attacks.
