I know there have been other postings on this subject. This is the first one I have seen though that states the U.S. does back the press also. All of the articles posted have (that I know of) all said the U.S. was on the side of the Muslims. I just wanted to point out that the U.S. does back the freedom of the press as well.

The truth is getting out, little by little, with the help of a few freepers who have been investigating this story.

This statement I can agree with. Muslims should be equally upset with the way Jews and Christians are portrayed in their media.

Welll what do you know. The lamestream media didn't report the WHOLE story from the State Department. I'm shocked.

Fricking MSM is out of control with their BS! Always trying to demoralize conservatives. It never ends.

Are they pulling an Oprah or is this they way they have felt the whole time? It's the first I've heard that they did the right thing.
To: FloridianBushFan
How about the State Department saying "we're sick and tired of the kidnappings and beheading of innocents and hearing nothing but crickets chirping from the Arab Street; it's about time that you've been described in the press for the murderous, barbarous psychopaths that you are".

Fricking MSM is out of control with their BS! Always trying to demoralize conservatives. It never ends. And a ton of people here fell for it, yet again.

My post was in reference to yours. I didn't get the full story about the State Department's statement until I read the Wash Times article. Thank God for the WashTimes.
To: DoughtyOne
Yeah, they do, the DNC! ;)

In that the DNC should know better, I'd have to agree.

Minus the "spin"-by-omission... selective and creative editing... leave out the parts they don't like...
To: FloridianBushFan
I would like to see the State Department's official policy statement on this; not a press briefing or press account. Not looking for flames here; just the actual written policy.

Muslims should be equally upset with the way Jews and Christians are portrayed in their media.They won't, and neither will the State Department, which has until now, been utterly silent about outrages such as "Piss Christ". They only mentioned the Anti-Semitic/Anti-Catholic stuff at the end, so they wouldn't get called on it. Tough noonies, I'm *still* calling them on it.
In the State Department's view, "all religions are qual, but some are 'more equal' than others"...
