Clinton: Video is 'disgusting and reprehensible'
politico ^ | 9/13/12 | JENNIFER EPSTEIN

Posted on 09/13/2012 8:09:40 AM PDT by ColdOne

The anti-Islam video that sparked protests in Libya and Egypt is "disgusting and reprehensible," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday, but it's no reason for violence -- especially against diplomats.

"Let me state very clearly -- and I hope it is obvious -- that the United States government had absolutely nothing to do with this video. We absolutely reject its content and message. America's commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation," Clinton said at the State Department, as she held a pre-scheduled meeting with Moroccan leaders.

Let me know when she comments about Christians being crucified in Cairo? Let me know when she comes out against Sharia ‘customs’ such as genital mutilation. Let me know ehn she proclaims anything with regards to who REALLY is conducting a War on Women.

I don’t care if there are a thousand poor quality films like this. Same fo cartoons, editorials, whatever.

PissChrist and burning flags or GWB effigies is free speech or artistic expression. But somehow this isn’t. More chickens coming home to roost.

Let's say it all together:

This video had NOTHING to do with the September 11, 2012 riots and attacks in Libya and Egypt!!!!

Again: This video had NOTHING to do with the September 11, 2012 riots and attacks in Libya and Egypt!!!!

It was used as a ploy to attack us on the anniversary of the worst day in Islamic Terrorism, September 11th, 2001. This is SPIT IN OUR EYE, America!

They leave out the fact that there isn’t simply insult in the Middle East, but there is also people killed as collateral damage, combined with the fact that we upheld less than decent people to try and oust regimes where I am still grasping for why we took sides in another nation’s Civil War. However, when you leave out the killing of people in the Middle East, it makes the idea that the video alone is the problem and restricting First Amendment Rights looks more appealing. It’s about time that Obama and Clinton admit the truth: they authorize killing people and that there simply are casualties in this so-called “war on terror” and they lie to justify taking away our personal, constitutional freedoms.

I totally agree, we should get out of the Middle East and start getting our oil from Canada, too bad, Obama never had the sense to try that.

Romney should think about saying that what’s disgusting and reprehensible is how this Admin is dealing with this.

I am incensed by the double standard here. Why is criticism of Islam an “abuse” of freedom of speech, while criticism of any other religion is hunky dory to this administration?

Because other religions don’t behead and drag around the dead bodies of those who dare to criticize them... yet.

Wouldn’t a “pre-scheduled meeting” simply be a “scheduled” meeting?

“America’s commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation,”

Except now, of course. Now all the religious clingers are just going to have to pony up and pay for abortions even if it violates your religious beliefs!

I think we are on a very slippery slope here. There is a reason why the 1st amendment can’t be negated by a constitutional convention. If we loose the first amendment, the rest of our God given rights go by the wayside.

Notice all the talk about “hate” speech these days? It’s really the same thing as this. Somebody is going to think anything you say is hateful. We really don’t want to go there. (but I think that may be where we are headed)

Free speech is all about being free to say things that others don’t like.

Thats why we need Mitt, regardless of his alledged shortcomings.

At least he will start the process to end reliance on ME oil, and send them the message we don’t need them anymore.

Back Israel as an allie, and let the rest consume themselves.

Hilldawg and the dims piss me off...

THEY DIDN'T ATTACK US BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO!!!!

It's just an excuse, a "reason" to attack us and justify it with the international community. They attacked this embassy on 9/11/12, there is a reason for this. These radicals will find any reason to attack us. Our dumb, keg legged SOS and administration can't figure this.

This November, I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HOPE we can put adults back in charge!

Hillary in response to the torching of the consulate in Benghazi, Hillary Clinton asked the following question....

"Today, many Americans are asking, indeed I ask myself ... How could this happen in a country we helped liberate in a city we helped save from destruction?"..

“Why is criticism of Islam an “abuse” of freedom of speech, while criticism of any other religion is hunky dory to this administration?”

Basically for the same reason PETA protests fur, but not leather: It’s a lot easier to pick on those who don’t fight back.

I saw the title and thought maybe she was commenting on video of the ambassador being dragged “to the hospital” or maybe the mobs tearing down the American flag and replacing it with “their” flag.. nope, guess not..
