That statement is an embarrassment. That is a hostage statement. Thats a mob of al-Qaeda sympathizers in Egypt, forcing the United States make a statement essentially of apology, on 9/11 of all days, for something were not responsible. I would issue a statement saying to the mob, go to hell.
The way America works, the way democracy works is that everybody has a right to express themselves. We dont police our speech. And you ought to apologize to the United States for storming the embassy and the violation of the ultimate sacred principle of democracy, which is protecting embassies and missions abroad.
For the U.S. to essentially issue a veiled apology, I think is disgraceful.

There is a fundamental difference between your employer taking action and the government taking action. It's a difference we cannot ever allow ourselves to gloss over.
“In the United States, we have a perfect First Amendment right to say what we think.”
We haven’t had that right in about 25 years.
We don’t need to explain anything. We need to send an ultimatum: “We’re going to kill the entire population of Benghazi and anybody else we feel like needs killing, and you’re going to be okay with this, or we’ll start the process of exterminating the entire population of Libya.”
It’s even worse than that. On 9/11 our state department issued an apology in response TO OUR EGYPTIAN EMBASSY BEING ATTACKED!
He wants a constitutional amendment to restrict the freedom of speech (because the progressives lost their attempt to limit certain kinds of political spending just before an election). He wants to limit freedom of religion to "freedom of worship." He would probably embrace a law prohibiting speech offensive to Muslims--which of course might need a constitutional amendment to be enforceable.
“Obama is not a President. He is a public enemy sitting in the Oval Office, placed there by the incompetence of his predecessor, the stupidity of his political adversary in the 2008 election, the collaboration of the Marxist Media, and the naivety of the American voting public.”
Yes and Amen. We have a POTUS/administration antagonistic to our First Amendment rights - to all our rights.
...libelous speech directed at another private person nor does it protect us from violations of the policies of private employers. This is an important distinction that is sometimes forgotten in contemporary discussions of political correctness.
To libel someone you must TELL A LIE about them that causes either financial or societal harm to them. Telling the truth is NEVER libel....period!
The thought and speech police also hold entities responsible for anything that is not politically correct...the same as the do individuals. That in turn, makes the employer a subordinate enforcer for the thought and speech police. To comply, they must punish (or fire) the offending employee quickly to demonstrate to the others within ear or eyesight that is what happens to those in our company that don’t toe the political correctness line.
The disease permeates throughout our society and with each year it gets worse.
It’s grown to the point that Orwell would be stupefied to see his 1984 come to life in the late 60’s and to mature to the point that it is today.
In a couple of months, his book will finally reach full application for our society or will simply slow it’s march to fruition with the Republicans.
General Dempsey...THOUGHT POLICE GENERAL
LET’S SEE...16 POSTS BEFORE THE ANTI KRAUTHAMMER-BOTS ARRIVED...jeez , so brilliant. what would we do without your fantastic comments.
Perfect!
Oh heavens, no!
Secure THAT embassy? Get the people out and bomb the place!
Oh, you must be referring to that group of oh-so-perfect conservatives that can only refrain from criticizing Dead Presidents and Palin.
I’ve been saying that for a long time and will add K.T. McFarlane should be our Ambassador to the UN, until we demolish that piece of CRAP.
I know women can’t have Brass Balls but something tells me she has something made of Brass!
“The Muslim Brotherhood benefits from this because they assaulted our embassy and WE GAVE UP.” (emphasis mine)

Posted this on another thread . . .
for those of us who are cubicle bound,
how is the MSM covering / not covering this?
we need to talk this Obama incompetence up person to person to person.
I already had one collegue who does not get it because they just want free stuff.
And he was loathesome towards Sarah in 2008...
You must have missed much of the 2008 election then. Krauthammer was mentioned favorably by many liberal pundits on a regular basis, he melted after hearing Obama speak, time after time. He on occasion was hard on Obama.
He repeatedly wrote about what a bad choice Gov Palin was for the VP spot, said that McCain made a terrible choice,The Liberals loved it.
Yes CK had a hand in getting Obama elected...ABSOLUTELY
I for one said I was glad that CK was on the right side for the moment, however CK has rich liberal history and has to be taken with caution.
He helped get Obama elected in 2008 and that ios a undeniable fact!
Yes he backhandedly endorsed McCain/Palin after completely disrespecting Gov Palin repeatedly.
I would not be surprised if he voted for Obama, the man can not be trusted.
