my brain boiled out of my ears when I read the US governments opinion on this subject yesterday. You elect republicans to project strength and uphold your values. We wind up with liberal pc crapola.

I don't read any opposition to Free Speech in the quotes.
What I heard was a call for common sense. Printing inflammatory cartoons that are offensive to a militant and terrorist religion is only asking for trouble. We, the U.S, are too busy fighting terrorists in the Middle East to come to Europe's rescue when they piss of their resident Muslims.

What a bunch of hor$e$hit. The person from the state dept press office was a 4th string clintonista that is getting an administrative beat-down for saying anything at all.

I agree with the article but I don't like the term "Bushies."

While I agree with the editorials stance to some degree....it would have more weight if the paper had the guts to carry the photos.

And, having chosen to issue an opinion, why did the administration take a position that is, frankly, shameful and wholly antithetical to the basic freedoms that Americans hold dear? I never thought I'd say this about a member of the MSM, but.......
Bravo!

I agree with the article but I don't like the term "Bushies." Are you saying Bush isn't responsible for what his own State Department says?
To: doctora
I haven't seen the cartoons. Have they been printed in any newspapers/publications outside of Europe?

It's inappropriate coming from the State Department, or any other government agency.

Free speech is not just reserved for the media you know. They can print whatever they want, and we could say whatever we want which includes the cartoon was insulting and shouldn't be printed. Using violence to force someone to stop printing something is alot different to saying, hey that was rude, maybe you shouldn't have said that

Not at all. What I'm saying is that this editorial is close to the level of Whoopie Goldberg in calling the Bush administration, "the Bushies." It's a rude comment.

Btw... there a movie somewhere (The Fokkers?) that shows a dog named Moses flushed down a toilet. Gee... maybe me and some of my co religionists should riot, too.

What a pathetic bunch of crap.
O.K. FREEPERS!, who has the NATIONAL CLOUT to organize a massive telephone, e-mail and letter protest to the White House. I don't care if the Prez is a lame duck and will not face the electorate again, Washington pays attention to numbers.

Only asking for trouble??
How much more 'trouble' can we be in after 3000 people died by planes being flow into the towers, pentagon, and pennsylvania field?
Not to mention a few 'beheadings'. And don't forget the workers that were fried and hung from a bridge?
We're asking for trouble?
Try the other way around.
