Hyperbole? Or criminal?

Personally, I think calling another politician treasonous as a from of hyperbole should be made a criminal act. Maybe that would stop this shit. I’m sick of people bandying around that word as if it meant nothing. I think it should be classified as slander and made prosecutable.

How much fun it would be to see some GOP SOB who just called Bernanke or the President treasonous, handcuffed and slapped in the clink.
