Reporting live on CNN, Wolf Blitzer accused Charlie Hebdo of occasionally going “over the line” in their satirical criticisms of current events.
The comment came as Blitzer was detailing the Islamic terrorist attack against the Charlie Hebdo office, which resulted in the deaths of 10 staff members and two police officers.
Blitzer categorically slammed the attacks and said there was no justification for it. However, in detailing what Charlie Hebdo is known for, he added that, at times, they went “over the line” in their commentary.
The attack on the office happened today and is currently believed to have been carried out by three Islamic extremists. Charlie Hebdo was targeted because they published pictures of Muhammad. Those who carried out the attack shouted, “We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad” and “Allahu Akbar” during the murders.

If I had Blitzer in front of me right now? Bitch slap.
Wolf is an apologist for Islamic terrorism.
Line? What line is that, Wolf?
FUWB.
What line is that, Wolfie? The line that says that I can kill you when you say things I don’t like?
What, exactly, is “the line”? What does he mean? Is it a matter of poor taste? If it is, a large part of what the Western media does every day is in poor taste. Or does Wolf mean that there is a line beyond which its OK to violently respond to something in the media? Does that apply to Christians and Jews too? Or just Muslims?
The Capitualization Noose Nutworks says..
OOooooOOOooooo.. They shouldn’t have been so brazen in their presentations..
sad that freedom is so cheap and that so many who don’t deserve or understand it are the ones lecturing everyone else.
LOL! Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Yet the Muslims lose this battle when one can simply look online for such cartoons.
you know who are the true masters when you’re too afraid to criticise them
Let me guess: all five were in airport lounges.
Sorry, Wolfie, you can't have it both ways. If there's a "line" there's a justification.
Will progressives defend/protect their own children. I would bet no.
Hey Wolf, who are you going to let draw the lines you speak of?
islam is a death cult founded by a child-molesting murderous drunk. It appeals to people too stupid for scientology and sissy boys who are afraid of women.
If I crossed any lines there, point them out so I can do it again.
...and again, and again, and again...
Then Wolfie won’t have any problem whatsoever with the “far right wing extremist tea party Christians” burning down the museum that hold the “piss Christ” right Wolfie????? Right???
How about the terrorists went over the line?
The intellectual left that dominates the corporate press revel in anti-religious rhetoric. The mistake the French team made was they actually were intellectually consistent in applying this to Islam, because they were probably convinced that it would be no different than ridiculing Christians and Jews. The Wolf Blitzers of the world represent the selective, smarter, corporate press type that knows not to offend someone who may actually show up at their front door. I fully expect the French cartoonist to be thrown under the bus by his peers as intellectual leftist are at their core nothing more than bullies and cowards.
