Given the way things are going- it's likely true.
Laying the groundwork for a crack-down on TALK RADIO.
THAT is what they are really after. AND scaring all Christian clergy into shutting up about what God says about homosexuality.
maybe this is why Obama is keeping GITMO open? to send this guy there...
Ok- that didn’t take long- here’s the story:
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/feds-arrest-nakoula-578341
The producer of the controversial anti-Islam film “Innocence of Muslims” has been arrested for violating terms of his probation and is set for a court appearance this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, is scheduled for an initial appearance before Judge Christina Snyder, who sentenced him in June 2009 following a bank fraud conviction.
Investigators have not yet provided details about how Nakoula allegedly violated probation, but is seems clear that his involvement in the “Innocence of Muslim” production is central to the government’s claim.
People still read Drudge Report?
Under the guise of a probation violation this guy’s going to get Zimmerman’d. What a clusterf_ck of a country we have under 0bama.
What is he charged with? “Slander” isn’t a criminal offense.
What was the White House’s Arabic statement?
Probation violation?
How can Obama’s media prevent this from hurting his election chances?
... we’ll find out.
Arrested FOR WHAT?!?!?!
Providing the White House with an excuse for LOUSY SECURITY POLICY?!?!?!
Probably some trumped up charge on probation violations. This won’t help Obama. Hopefully, Romney has the spine to go after Obama on this one.
Its true..even my local TV station in LA is reporting it. Just watch, this guy will be used by the Obama regime and killed for daring to make a movie showing the pedophile Mohammed for what he really is..this guy will probably be killed in jail
This has got to be wrong. There is NO MOVIE!! Obama took a 12 minute trailer and used it to cover up GhaziGate! Arrest Bill Maher for Religulous. Arrest Obama for inciting violence but making up a lie. People died during these protest therefore he violated the 2006 Terror Act.
But hasn’t it been found that this guy has long ties to terrorist Muslims and nothing to do with Coptic Christians?
This was staged as a pretext to violence and a push for anti-blasphemy laws. I wonder if they’re arresting him to try to keep it quiet.
I suppose they will use bank fraud as an excuse to go after this guy. But everyone will know that’s not the real reason.
OTOH, this would be rather amusing if, as some stories claim, the movie itself was produced by Muslim fanatics as an excuse for ratcheting up their war against infidels. Or, perhaps, as a way to get a Muslim protection bill passed by the UN, making it illegal to criticize them. There are enough Muslim nations in the UN to make that a real possibility.
“Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against—then you’ll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there it that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted—and you create a nation of lawbreakers—and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
Obama wanted to get this guy for offending the one faith that Obama respects, so he had his people find a law in the thousands of pages of laws on the books that would allow the White House to prosecute this guy. Whether or not decent people approve of the film (message or production values) is irrelevant; we should object to a political prosecution as punishment for political speech. Sadly, I'm not surprised. It also wouldn't surprise me if next year started with federal-local cooperation in which Freepers and Tea Partiers in liberal areas would be targeted in fishing expeditions that search for crimes that we can be charged with, just like this guy's persecution.
ACLU to the rescue in 3...2...1...0...-1001, -1002, -1003...
Grrr!
I don’t suppose we’ll be hearing from Hollywood and the press on our first amendment rights. Scary times when the media allows this to stand. Good God, do they love him that much that they are willing to give up our free speech rights? What has happened to our beloved country?
