Media ignore Obama attack on ‘those who slander the Prophet of Islam’
Fox News ^ | September 26, 2012 | Dan Gainor

President Obama spoke to the UN Tuesday, but what he had to say depended on the media outlet reporting it. It was about “optics” according to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow; “free speech” said CBS’s Nancy Cordes and Iran, explained NBC’s Chuck Todd.

Not that they’re wrong. It was a 4,000-word speech. Obama covered a lot of ground. But the ground the major media covered conveniently left out was the most provocative line of the entire speech.

The president told the UN that the “future must not belong” to a series of people including “corrupt” leaders and those who “bully women.” But one line from that list stood out. “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”

That line appeared almost nowhere in the old media where Obama’s supposed defense of free speech dominated. The broadcast networks ignored it and only Jake Tapper noted that Team Obama had also tried to get the video pulled from YouTube for violation of “terms of use.” The New York Times skipped the line, ironically in an article headlined: “Obama Tells U.N. New Democracies Need Free Speech.”

If you wanted a clear indication that few news outlets are even aware conservatives exist, this was it. ...

I thought I had heard something like that comment, "The future does not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam" before.

Has anybody seen the movie Caberet? Remember this song called, "The Future Belongs to Me?" I'm pretty sure nobody in the White House has seen that movie or they wouldn't have inserted that line.

The media’s behavior these days is making my flesh crawl - really. I’m afraid it won’t be long now.

Oh dear! Has someone slandered the Pedophile who Molests 9 y/o girls? How terribly traumatic for those who prefer multiculturalism to morality.

The media is immediately reacting to every complaint against Obama. We say he doesn’t speak up for free speech, VOILA, an entire media full of stories about Obama protecting free speech. They are coordinating, I have no doubt.

The media are all in the tank for Obama..this is what they want, they will ignore EVERY single thing that comes out of Obama’s mouth because they agree with him and they want to see him re-elected. If the media were truly unbiased Obama would be down 30 points right now. I would be able to beat Obama if the media were really unbiased and just reported the TRUTH..but they refuse to, because they need Obama re-elected, they need him to finish off this country and turn into the European Utopia the leftists have always wanted, and that is including the media, who all want the same damn thing

Obama went on to say, “When a muslim stubs his toe, that’s tragedy. When a christian or jew falls through an open manhole, now that’s comedy.”

Anyone who believes the bogus polls touting Zero are accurate, or who accepts the veracity of MSM journalists shilling for Obama will believe he said that as well.

But you know he’s thinking it.

Obama's sickening seeming ignorance of our freedoms makes me want to "defame the prophet." Can't help it. Never even considered it before but now I just have to say it, HE WAS A VIOLENT, IMMORAL, AND IGNORANT JERK. There, I feel better.

I wish Obama could you address the people who defame Jesus and Jehovah, but in ObamaWorld that doesn't really matter anyway.

Mohammed was a Child Rapist.

It’s not slander if it is true.

what gets me is those who say Jesus never really existed, despite all the evidence, but accept Mad MoHAMmad did, and is infallible. lunacy.
