I saw no reference to "free speech" in any of the reports I read about the rally. It was described as a "unity rally" for "tolerance and co-existence."

No U.S. leader should ever feel obligated to show his face at that kind of silly crap. This is why the rally wasn't even attended by U.S. leaders who have criticized other U.S. leaders for failing to attend.

WHY WASN'T TED CRUZ THERE, IF HE THOUGHT IT WAS SO IMPORTANT?

It's pathetic how many conservatives have bought into this blatant political posturing.

You saw no reference go free spèech in any of the reports from Paris huh? You must be living on Mars. I saw plenty of references to free speech in the media reports on the Paris rally including a report from your own CBS news. Even Jon Stewart got in on the act with an attack on Obama for not showing up on a free spèech rally.
Why was Ted Cruz not there? When did Ted Cruz become the Secretary of State or a member of the State Department or the cabinet? It’s the executive that represents the US government and caries out foreign affairs, not the legislature who are there to make laws.
Btw, there is no need to keep using caps. They don’t make your points any less idiotic.

Naaah. What is pathetic is some random Canadian, presuming to dictate to Americans on whether they should attend a rally or not, and getting his knickers into a twist over it.
