Maddow named this little guy---The Laffy.

you often post about how people are stupid to try to cut taxes while we are in a war, so you believe we are technically in a state of war.

What is the penalty for treason when you are in a state of war?

THE DEATH PENALTY.

If purposefully demoralizing troops is not an act of treason, I do not know what one is.

So, your argument fails. Sounds to me like Michael just wants the law enforced.
