“couple of America-residing video makers”

Oh, on some of the MSM, the video makers are labeled “right wing Christians”, the very antithesis of Obama Democrats. The Islamists are being told, “Look guys, these are our enemies too.”

In any case, the destruction and overt hostility indicate a total lack of respect for the US and its leadership.

Precisely. This is about respect, or lack thereof, and we can't repeat it often enough.

The 11 long years between major uprisings speaks highly of the respect that was apparently restored when our soldiers summarily sacked one of their strong horses, Saddam Hussein. What gained more respect from our enemy however, was the fact we sent in ground troops, willing to shed blood to exact consequences on our enemy.

Though we cloaked our entry into Iraq in defensive and altruistic terms, thankfully our enemies, both Arab and Persian, saw everything as punitive and retaliatory. To what should be our shame, only our enemy's persecution complex caused respect to be gained.

This is why drone killings gain us no respect, just the opposite, killing from afar makes us look weak in the jihadis' eyes.

Under Obama/Hillary we have adopted the Nicholas Berg foreign policy, the belief that our good feelings toward the enemy will somehow prevent them from wanting to behead us. If we don't change we'll suffer the same fate as Nicholas Berg.

We now need unabashed, unapologetic punitive and retaliatory measures.

Wake up America. They don’t like us. They are not like us and they don’t want to be like us

Yes, the troglodytes want us back in the Stone age and for them to be able to rape and pillage at will. Islam is Satan’s religion

We need to bring back those hardcore American and Filipino troops who dealt with mohammedans by killing them and dousing them in pig’s fat.

God bless America/Pork/booze and the West.

And especially pay no heed to this:

Obama spent an entire week bragging to the whole world that he killed Osama,
next thing ya know Egyptians are burning our embassy shouting "We all all Osama".

Go watch the movie instead.

[Article] ... for example, Jay Carney’s latest and perhaps most embarrassing explication yet:

"this is not a case of protests directed at the United States writ large or at U.S. policy, this is in response to a video that is offensive to Muslims"


Poor Jay Carney. Only a few months ago one of the golden boys of the MSM circus, he's now just another very-used, sh*t-stained sh*t-shoveler, and the only job he'll be able to get after leaving the White Hut is checking behind moronic spellchecker programs for blunders and gross delirium, for 15 cents a word.

IF, an effeminate diplomatic approach toward tea, sympathy and wreckless security was her idea, she has blood on her hands.

This is Barky's deal. This is Islam -- and he calls the shots on policy toward the raggies, very definitely. He owns this Pottery Barn, the whole damn thing.

Beastie must be livid -- tremblingly livid.

I'm sure she's asked her pig-footed consort by now (no, no, not Huma -- the other one! 8D ), whether they guy they used to know who knew a guy who knew a guy, is still around, still in business, and still knows a guy who knows Joe Pesci uhh, knows a guy.

The blood IS on her hands and if she had any honor or integrity - which we know she doesn't - she would have resigned by now.

Exactly....you don’t see them pulling out a can of film and lighting it on fire to show their anger at a movie.
