So how gullible are we, America, if we buy into the mixed messages of the Obama administration over these Islamist attacks?
Breitbart: Now that the White House and State Department have made clear that they believe movies compel terrorists to terrorize, it's time for them to get ahead of this problem. And one thing the White House can do immediately is to pressure Sony to stop the release of director Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty," which celebrates the killing of Osama bin Laden.
I'm only saying this because, you know, the White House and the media told me movies inflame and cause terrorism.
Think about it: if the poorly produced and laughably bad trailer for "The Innocence of Muslims" results in chaos, murder, and the burning of foreign outposts all throughout the Middle East, how much rioting and mayhem is a big-budgeted, slickly produced, Oscar-bait blockbuster celebrating the death of the leader of al-Qaeda going to cause?
This entire article is well worth the read, but of course the obviousness of this hypocrisy is not at issue for liberals and Obama, for it provides both the subjugation of political opponents and diverts from Obama's failed foreign policy. Otherwise, what of top Obama contributor Bill Maher's 'Religulous' with its mocking of Islam? Rush has the answer...one I'm certain you've already concluded as well...
And no matter how amateur the attempt, woe to those who embarrass this regime, particularly before the Arab World...(via Instapundit):
"Just for the record, this is what it looked like for a man who made a film that made the Obama Administration uncomfortable."
...bouncing back to Breitbart for the wrap-up (literally):
While terrorists brutally rape and murder our Libyan ambassador and attack and burn our foreign outposts -- all thanks to a president who disengaged from the region and embraced the Muslim Brotherhood -- here in the United States of America, a filmmaker is being scapegoated and persecuted by our government and our media.
His only crime was doing something Hollywood and celebrated artists do on a regular basis, and sometimes with our tax dollars -- denigrating a religion. Only this filmmaker made the mistake of denigrating Islam. So now he finds himself hunted. Had he poured the same energy and derision on Christianity, today he'd be celebrated.
What this is about is a president who swore to uphold the Constitution who is now caving to Islamic Law through the de facto criminalization of denigrating Islam. And he's doing it in order to give the media something shiny to play with so they’re not forced to turn their attention (until after the election) towards a failed doctrine and fatal failure to take al-Qaeda seriously.
This is happening in America.
