Jay Carney: These protests are directed at an offensive movie, not at the United States

Via Mediaite. I’m not sure how to square this with the fact that in Tunisia today they were chanting, “Obama, Obama, we are all Osamas,” since I’m pretty sure the Egyptian Copt who produced the Mohammed movie isn’t named “Obama.”

Go look at the map of today’s protests assembled by the Atlantic. To the extent that anyone involved actually cares about the movie, what they care about is the fact that the U.S. government refuses to censor it. The government would like to censor it, clearly, but they’re barred by the First Amendment; Islamist totalitarians have trouble with that concept, though, so they’re holding the White House responsible for the film’s publication despite Carney’s obsequious stammering over how mean and disgusting and reprehensible and awful it is. They’re protesting the idea of free speech, in other words, which is supposed to be — supposed to be — “U.S. policy.”

That’s not an effigy of Obama they’re burning - it’s an effigy of the film maker. That’s the ticket...

So, your basic muslim is so weak minded that he will riot against some trailers from a movie.
Muslim are not bright enough to riot against the West.

I think Jay just served up some more red meat to up set even more Muslims

This is a joke. These same people that are so offended have some of the most offensive views toward JEWS and denigrate their religion on a daily basis all over the middle east.

Hey Carney boy. What did Stevens and the other Americans murdered during this latest iteration of Barry and Hillary’s “Arab Spring” have to do with that so called “movie”? Hmmmmm?

Jay, Jay, at what point do you finally look in the mirror one morning and say 'I cannot defend the indefensible anymore'? and just twitter in your resignation?

Sheer coincidence that this blew up on 9/11.

Islamists, being the tolerant, peaceful planet-lovers that they are where deeply offended by the you-tube video that no one has really yet seen or cares to.

The mere fact that a (theoretically) freedom-loving country did not execute the progenitors has excited them to riot.

They would riot if a hair fell off a pig flying over Islamadamabad and Mullah Achmedinajihadabad said to.

Remember the Crusades!

The world is aflame with crazed rioters/killers for the past few days over a 12 minute spot on the internet?

Jay Carney didn’t even believe this himself - you could tell he knew how stupid it sounded as he said it.

Let’s hear again what a wonderful religion this is. If it’s such a peaceful religion, why are they so savage? What a joke.

“To have Peace in our time”....The US must repeal the 1st Amendment!

You just gotta feel sorry for Jay Carney. He reminds you of the kid that you used to give wedgies to in High School and wondered what happened to him..Yep he became a Jay Carney.
Well isn’t it obvious that these protests have nothing to do with America or its policies. Let’s see, they are chanting “Death To America” they are chanting “Obama, Obama, we are ALL Osamas” they are burning American flags, they are putting Osama’s name with graffiti paint on our embassies, they are wearing T-shits with “Down with USA” on them. Gee, isnt it obvious these “peaceful muslims” just love us and want to give us big hugs

This wasn't an attack on the United States it was an attack on an ad agency on the 83rd floor.
So? There aim wasn't too good.
