I am not defending romney but why is it alright for obama to condemn the film, he supports the Islamists because he attacked the film yet he didn't say anything about the Christians being targeted. He only cares about Muslims

You willing to admit you are repeating a lie or going to just keep going with that?

"I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens," Obama said in his first statement at 7:21 a.m. Wednesday, the next morning.

Like a hawk to criticize the film maker and apologize for our freedom of speech?

Great for our economy?

Nobody apologized for our freedom of speech. The filmmaker is a degenerate, meth-cooking check kiter, and his shitty movie led to the greatest loss of life in the American diplomatic corps in our nation's history. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.

When has freedom of speech meant you cant be criticized for that speech? You say something stupid, say something over the top inflammatory, you will be criticized. And rightfully so.

He has a right to film it and release it. No one is stopping him. However, everyone has a right to condemn him for his bigoted completely fictitious propaganda that sole purpose was to incite Muslim fanatics.

Stop that hate talk, most of those type of people are Obama voters.

When they condemn the efforts of the misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings..., that's not an apology?

Because he's an adult who believes in the liberal system of, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The filmmakers apparently wanted to inflict as much damage on Muslims as possible, and they used a weapon that is apparently terribly effective on that particular community while costing them next to nothing and being largely protected from retaliation. They could have been adults and tried to be productive rather than destructive, but they chose the childish route instead.

I'm partial to the childish route myself. But I don't try to start a World War with it.

Go to a biker bar, find the biggest, meanest looking sonuvabitch in the place, walk up to him, and call his mother a slut.

Yes, you have freedom of speech. But don't act surprised when you get knocked the fuck out.

This is a similar situation, except the person exercising his freedom of speech wasn't the one who paid the price, and the ones who did didn't just get a black eye, they were killed.

There's no reason you can't criticize both parties. It's not unamerican. I'd say that not criticizing a film that led to the deaths of multiple Americans is dangerously arrogant and not at all presidential.

Yes he condemned the attack which I support, but he also condemned the movie. Thats attacking free speech and justifying the attacks

So if you make a video celebrating 9/11 saying it was the greatest thing that ever happened than the President should not condemn it right? because that would be an attack on free speech. That is absolutely absurd.

You have the right to make the video but I expect the president to condemn the video.

What video that attacked Christians are you referring to? There are probably hundreds of them but show me a video that attacks Christians that leads to the death of American citizens and I'm sure Barack Obama will be the first person to condemn it. If it is some Michael Moore type bs that ultimately just gets people riled than no I think it would be beneath him to comment on it.

You have to remember fundie Islamists are crazy and you don't know what is going to set them off. No one is gonna lock you up for making that video but it is better to just not stir the pot with them. I think that is the right approach when dealing with them.

There was a movie that was awarded an award at the Venice film fesitval last week where a woman masturbates with a cross to Jesus.

Thats exactly the point, Christians behave like humans and act civil, they dont blow up others over this but look at the radicals. What were saying is that there religion doesn't tolerate this so we will accommodate them

That is our appeasement policy.

We accommodate them because we have to. Do you want open war with Muslim nations. They control what 3/4ths of the world's oil so unless you are advocating open war with them than I don't see any other alternative on the path that you suggest.
