Perhaps the most successful piece of agitprop video ever devised, in terms of cost to effect.

So, why is the FBI involved; simply because of the threat of danger to the film makers, or is the DOJ orchestrating something against them?

All I hear is the demonization of the producer, but no analysis of the actual film. It may just hold some grain of truth from a non-muslim perspective.

What is the FBI doing in Hollywood in investigating a movie set? When will the usual suspects start speaking out against this outrage?

Cue the crickets.

I’m still trying to figure out what law the movie maker and/or distributors supposedly violated?

Considering no one had heard about this movie until Tuesday, 9/11, and that news is coming out about the attacks being planned for a while, and the fact that crowds were chanting something along the lines of “Obama Obama, there are a thousand Osamas” after the DNC had speech after speech bragging about getting bin Laden, I’d say the movie is not in the top 10 reasons these attacks occurred, and that it is being made the scapegoat.

We've already seen Muslims slit people's throats in the name of their akbar allah and filmed by their own....

and how about Ft Hood.

I'd say the Muslim reputation is pretty much du** and any film is redundant.(sp?)

WTF is the FBI doing? Blocking the 1st amendment is not their job.

This was Obama and Hillary's failure.

Now we see Obama trying to pin it on the free speech rights of a single film maker.

FBI?

Unless they’re there to provide security for the filmmaker and actors, they can GTFO.

Fascinating comments at the site.

While they should be 100% “Why is the FBI investigating free speech” it’s probably 40% “Chickens come home to roost for the producers/serves em right” and 40% “Christians are hypocrites” and 20% pro-Freedom.

The “chickens coming home to roost” sounds like a chicago preacher.

Any of those involved in the production of this movie...that the FBI have an interest in...should agree to be interviewed by the FBI...but only on the Greta show.

Has the esteemed Chris Dodd [chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America] spoken on this yet?

This is legit eerie to anyone with any real clue of what is happening in our current political climate today. As I really started reading up on this story I said to myself and my girlfriend;”Wow, these people at the top are freaking GOOD at what they do” and it should be terrifying people not only because of the timing of the event, but the stance that a lot of American citizens seem to be taking pretending like this sort of retaliatory, vehement behavior is not only to be tolerated, but embraced. What is going on with people these days?

"Terminiello v. City of Chicago, 337 U.S. 1 (1949), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that a 'breach of peace' ordinance of the City of Chicago which banned speech which 'stirs the public to anger, invites dispute, brings about a condition of unrest, or creates a disturbance' was unconstitutional under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution." (from a wiki source)

Hold on now, the Constitution is not a suicide pact; the phrase "suicide pact" was first used by Justice Robert H. Jackson in his dissenting opinion in Terminiello v. Chicago.

Neither is the Constitution a czar and fetters.

These evil, clumsy movie makers shouted fire in a crowded theater! Really? Media ideologues, et al. feeeeeeeeeeel so.

Sounds familiar.

". . . some key [events] exacerbated the national debate, fraying trust, and national cohesion just a little more each time . . . The two-party system that had governed America . . . begin to fall apart . . . interest in politics took the place of all other forms of news-related entertainment . . . politicians were the celebrities . . . [Politics/ideology] was becoming such a habit, the reactions so automatic, that [journalists] taking sides on every news story became inevitable."

.. I just can't avoid thinking about this from for Love & Liberty by Robin Young and it's about 1857 America.

When these clowns are more interested in who expressed an opinion than who murdered who then.. well let's just get it over with.

Looks like the film/trailer is mostly a hoax.

Where are all the liberals who were so outraged over the “blacklisting” of Hollywood Communists?
