White House Questioned French Magazine’s ‘Judgment’ In 2012 For Publishing Naked Muhammad Cartoon
CBS News ^ | 1-7-15 | NA

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — The White House criticized French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in 2012 for publishing cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad.

Then White House Press Secretary Jay Carney questioned the magazine’s judgment after publishing images of Muhammad naked.

“We are aware that a French magazine published cartoons featuring a figure resembling the Prophet Muhammad, and obviously we have questions about the judgment of publishing something like this,” Carney told reporters in September 2012.

Carney stated that the images would be “deeply offensive to many and have the potential to be inflammatory.”

It looks like those angry, fanatical Methodists are out for revenge again. They have a long history of killing people who offend and disagree with them. /heavy, dripping sarcasm alert/

With sincerest apologies to all Methodists, myself included, who are not murderous terrorists

May all those poor people who were killed in this attack, Rest In Peace.

I wonder what Mr. Obama had to say about works of “art” like “Piss Christ” and the “painting” of the Virgin Mary made from excrement...

My guess is he did not have any “questions about the judgment” of producing those.

Those were free speech donchaknow.

Have to be protected at all costs. ACLU will jump right in if you want to display "art" like that and anyone raises so much as a peep in protest.

It'll be interesting to see how the ACLU reacts to this one. Yes, I know the 'A' stands for "American." They'll probably wrap themselves in our flag if anyone asks them. Which won't happen.

But they have to be readying their contingency plans for when a Charlie Hebdo happens here.

My bet: they define mass murder as "a form of speech or political expression" and side with the shooters

“potential to be inflamatory”
But they don’t say that about sharpton and his hate speech about the cops.
They are filthy hypocrites.

CBS is trying to soften public anger against the terrorists.

Judging by the comments, it isn't working.

I'm waiting for Obama to send a sympathy note.

Not to the families of the victims. No sir. But to the mosque the terrorists belong to. Apolgizing for the hateful cartoons Charlie Hebdo published.

After all, he sent a sympathy card to muzzies when muzzies beheaded that sweet grandmother in Oklahoma City. Why wouldn't he side with the terrorists again?

One must not question the motives of Muslim terrorists or the warnings of our Muslim king. “Allah Akubar”.....or whatever.

The objection to those anti-Christian paintings or “artworks” in New York was not that the artists had no right to do them, but that they were being exhibited in spaces or at exhibitions paid for with public funds.

““We are aware that a French magazine published cartoons featuring a figure resembling the Prophet Muhammad”

So the White House declared him “Prophet”.

Yes you're right, and thanks for reminding me.

However, the "free speech" argument was the one the other side made, and succeeded with, both in the court of public opinion and in actual court, as I recall.

Yes. This from the same political party that goes to the mattresses over a crucifix on public land. "Separation of Church and State!" they scream.
