      I think calling someone or an entity a traitor shouldn't be as easy as just saying it. I feel it should be a formal, punishable, declaration. Like calling someone a sexual abuser. You do that to someone ONCE and it's on their record FOREVER. Should be the same with this. Call someone a traitor and either do your research or reap with whirlwind of guilt if you're wrong.

        Whatever happened to freedom of the press? God forbid you expose some controversial activities of the Persident and government. Suddenly you're labeled "treasonous."

        I agree with Alexia. It shouldn't be a word that's tossed around lightly.

          Coulter played fast and loose with this word back in 2003 during the build up to the war. If you were against this war and millions of people showed it by going out and marching to include myself you were labeled 'Treasonous'. It was so unfair and very hurtful to those who care about this Country.
