“You must know the difference between dissent from the Iraq war and the war on terror and undermining it. And any American that undermines that war, with our soldiers in the field, or undermines the war on terror, with 3,000 dead on 9/11, is a traitor. Everybody got it?

Send over the FBI and just put them in chains, because they, you know, they're undermining everything and they don't care, couldn't care less.”
