Short CBS newscast at noon (ET) Friday on the filmmaker taken into custody on probation violations. I was taken aback by Raviv say, and I checked the broadcast posted at the URL to make sure I had heard right.
Asterisks indicate spoken emphasis in the broadcast:
ANCHOR (Steve Kathan) "The man behind the anti-Islam video that sparked outrage in the Muslim world is still in jail in Los Angeles for a probation violation.
RAVIV "I'm Dan Raviv in Washington. The short movie posted on YouTube has had a lot of diplomatic impact. It was *clearly* designed to insult the Prophet Mohammed, and a senior Obama administration official told CBS News last week that no one in the Middle East seems to believe that the US government could not stop the film from getting out. Now at least Federal authorities might be able to *punish* the filmmaker."
ANCHOR The Dow is down 69. This is CBS News."

OK, this was only a short newscast, but it seemed dance very close to blurring the line between punishment for probation violation and for the film.
Touché.
I've given your tagline much thought over the years Megan and I have to disagree. They fought over much less tyranny than we deal with today but once you take demographics into account, the whole scene changes.
-houeto.

Having viewed the clip...I can say that they spent a very minimum amount of money. Whoever funded this....and I’m prone to think that it might even come from some character connected to Saudi Arabia....simply tossed a million into the pot, and most of that went to management fees...NOT the actual cost of making the film.
I wonder if the MSM would have a problem with the following line from the CBS report but editted to read:
“Now at least Federal authorities might be able to *punish* the CBS reporter.”
The people in the MSM are so skewed that they not only can’t see it but can’t see government actions that also threaten them.
From Wiki: Dan Raviv (born 1954) is an American journalist. He is a national correspondent for CBS News, heard regularly on the CBS Radio Network. He has also done TV reports from Washington, D.C. on the CBS Evening News.
Raviv is host of a weekly radio magazine show, the CBS News Weekend Roundup.[1]
A New York native and graduate of Harvard, Raviv joined CBS at its all-news radio station in Boston (WEEI) in 1974, moving to WCBS Newsradio in New York in 1976, then to the network radio newsdesk in New York. The start of his on-air career was his assignment in the Tel Aviv bureau, from 1978 to 1980, followed by twelve years as radio correspondent in the London bureau. There, he began making occasional appearances on CBS TV. He worked in the Miami bureau from 1993 to 1997, and then was named National Correspondent in the radio unit at CBS News in Washington.
He is also the author of several books, including the 1990 best seller Every Spy a Prince: The Complete History of Israel's Intelligence Community, a newer history of Israeli espionage and security, Spies of Armageddon: Inside Israel's Secret Wars (2012), and Friends In Deed: Inside the U.S.-Israel Alliance (1994), all three co-authored with journalist Yossi Melman. Raviv is the sole author of Comic Wars: How Two Tycoons Battled Over the Marvel Comics Empire and Both Lost.[2][3] Three of his books are available as e-books. He and Melman have a blog, IsraelSpy.com
Raviv is married, with two adult children.
I have every intention of continuing to do just that. I'm thinking of using animation - nothing over the top - just depicting a murderous sand pirate pedophile slobbering all over a six year old.
Tabari IX:128 "When the Prophet married Aisha, she was very young and not yet ready for consummation."
Tabari IX:131 "My mother came to me while I was being swung on a swing between two branches and got me down. My nurse took over and wiped my face with some water and started leading me. When I was at the door she stopped so I could catch my breath. I was brought in while Muhammad was sitting on a bed in our house. My mother made me sit on his lap. The other men and women got up and left. The Prophet consummated his marriage with me in my house when I was nine years old."
Hmmm....come to think of it, I probably would go to jail if I depicted that through the magic of animation because it would amount to child pornography.
So why isn't the federal government burning korans? It's child pornography.
Great words of advice contained in your post. Thank You!
Even if Obama permits an election loss to return Romney to the presidency, the President is a euphemistic misnomer, like "chairman" in the Communist countries.
The Democrat Party has actually effectively gone through a series of changes that is analagous to the evolution of the Communist Party out of the Social Democrat Party in Tsarist Russia and the early RSFSR. The left portion of the party shed the right half over and over again, hived off, split, until the extreme Left was/is the Party. That is what we have now in the Democrat Party- the Bolshevik core shorn of its human content and in control. LeninObama hasn't proclaimed the new order- the Revolution- yet. The difference is that the Communists did not take control of the Bureaus and Organs in Russia until after the acquisition of total power. Obama has got that part of the process already done.
BTTT
AKA "Obama Media Groupie"
DAMN RIGHT
There were warrants for him before he was arrested. The warrants were not served. Suddenly the “justice” department decides to arrest him in order to please their jihadi friends. This is selective enforcement, and a politically-motivated persecution. The head of the “justice” department, and his boss, need to resign.
I'm sure you've seen that this got picked up (uncredited to you, natch) by other conservative site.
Also, Rush has talked about this at least twice on Monday's show.
punished for WHAT?
things are getting scary.
Democrat Pat Caddell Has it right...The Liberal Media are the Enemy of America and Americans.
The are treasonous Rats and seditious Retards.
Great idea Raviv...and once the first amendment is gone we can arrest YOU for YOUR views you PUNK!
bttt
What was the condition he violated? Making a clip and posting on YouTube or insulting moham?
