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.
In a normal world, this would be the biggest story of the day. Free speech would be defended from left and right. The ACLU would be involved. This is a national disgrace. Where is Congress?

Every day, a little closer.
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.”
And now the entire Islamofascist degenerate death culture of the Middle East will expect the US government to stop all subsequent films from getting out, and punish the filmmaker. People will die over future failures to do so, because of this underhanded sneak attack on the First Amendment, where they should have pointedly refused to prosecute him and defied the crazed sand nazis.
they lie like 1950s Soviets....
which is what the MSM and the regime are, anyway.
What about the murderers? Is there anything from CBS saying “at least they’ll be able to punish the murderers”?
Wait until they come to punish you, CBS.
CBS,
Do you really want this? You could be next to be punished by the Federal Government.
The left PC police such as ADL, SPLC, and others in the USA have the ultimate goal of ending the 1st Amendment and all freedom of speech unless it coincidentally qualifies and meets their approval for political correctness. They are also the real force behind gun control and opposition to the 2nd Amendment.
“The networks work for the radical islamists.” Apparently all it takes is cash. I wonder how many times scenes like the fake “Muslim Brotherhood” talking to PBS happened with other networks?
You’re next, CBS News.....as soon as YOU fail to toe the Communist/Socialist/Islamic line (if you a**holes every wake up and do just that).
Then.....guess it’s not such a good idea when you’re the ox being gored, eh?
“Now at least Federal authorities might be able to *punish* the filmmaker.”
In the whole idiotic episode surrounding the film, THIS statement is the first actual blasphemy.
“If they can order you not to use the internet, they can order you not to use the phone, listen to the radio, watch T.V. or speak at all”
They do these things, in varying degrees and combinations, with juries all the time.
I was told not to look up the statute involved in a case, nor could I discuss the case.
I use to watch PBS every once in a great while. Their shows left me thinking about what are they talking about. Most of their experts were people who had lost all their marbles and were there because nobody else would listen to their excuses. All the news was faked, and they were proud to be faking it. Heck they did not have to worry about telling anything other than what they were told to say because the taxpayer funding was not going to be cut off. It is mostly the same with the alphabet soup networks. They do the same and hope nobody catches onto them. It is frustrating, though they proudly lose money and call it First Amendment rights. Guess when they finally have to compete (and may it be soon) some truth will finally be told.
Well things just became exciting in this neck of the woods. Two police cars thus far headed south. Heard something going on outside just before the two police cars came by. At first was not certain they had moved on. Must have not hearing anything presently.

I cannot believe I still live in the USA.
It’s vanishing at a quicker pace than usual.
So despicable.
The minuscule details of this entire episode are breathtakingly chilling.
TO ARTHURUS: Re a “Federal Blasphemy law.” Also known as ‘Sharia Law’, complete with severe punishments for anyone who criticizes Allah, Mohammed or Islam.
It is an exact parallel to communist law which is still practiced in Cuba, Russia, Red China, Belarus and by death in No. Korea.
Both communism and Islam are suppressive, thoroughly totalitarian in their dogma/doctrines and totally repressive in the imposition of their control of thought, speech, assembly, etc.
This mentality is steadily seeping through our own society,esp. among the academic left, US resident Moslems (citizens or not), leftist “liberation theology” clergy like Jim Wallis, Michael Lerner and the leftwing evangelical pacifists.
It is also present in the words of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (a closet communist if there ever was one besides Justice William Douglas). A few state judges are also advocating looking to laws outside the US for guidance and precedence, which is an absolute betrayal of their judicial oath to defend and uphold the laws of the US (and should be grounds for their dismissal from the Bench).
The fact that someone from CBS wants a man punished for “free speech” activity is not surprising given the Communist Broadcast System’s performance during the Vietnam War where they sounded more like Radio Hanoi and Nhan Dan then an American TV network. I was in Vietnam as a journalist and the honest journalists from many major American papers who I interviewed, all agreed that CBS was the most corrupt and most anti-American broadcast system in-country.
I’m actually surprised that Dan Rather and Morley Safer got out of Nam alive. American soldiers hated them, and a couple of the NY Times correspondents should have been jailed for spreading communist propaganda.
If you review the basic rules of a communist seizure of power, you will find that one of the first things they do, as in Cuba and Russia, was to seize/close opposition newspapers (ongoing in Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador, as well as the new Russia) and existing opposition radio (and later, TV) stations.
Once you control the news flow to the “people”, you’ve got the most powerful monopoly around. The next power seizure moves were to seize privately held weapons, then seize control of the food supply & DISTRIBUTION systems. An unarmed population that depends on the Govt for the food they eat, is a subjugated people.
THe present “subjugation” of the people, i.e. many of the 40%-plus in the Welfare/food stamps programs, is the present manifestation of these communist/marxist/socialist tactics. These “people” are actually prisoners of the state. Oppose the State and you starve.
Remember only a small portion of the US population actually produces the food that the majority of the people consume.
Add to this the ability of the Obama regime, now underway, to restrict the kind of engines trucks, ships and trains can have (under the guise of controlling diesel air pollution), and you have the government controlling the majority of the food/goods delivery/distribution system of America.
Jet airplanes are also on the “hit” list.
Obama has publicly announced his support of the “rights of Islam”, which, by necessity, includes Sharia Law and punishment for Blasphemy of Allah/Mohammed and Islam in general. The quotes are listed in the beginning of this article’s postings.
Obama is the “Perfect Storm” convergence of Islam and Communism, including an old hatred of colonialism, American imperialism, and an admiration of Islam. Remember, Obama sat through 20 years of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s hate-whitey, hate-America sermons (and perhaps Michele and the children did too).
Wright has a long checkered history of associating with America’s enemies, and he has admitted this (i.e. Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakhan, a Black Muslem; Castro’s Cuba and its totalitarian/indoctrinating school system re what they have done to Elian Gonzalez; the Back Marxists of the Black Radical Congress and the white-hating “Reparations Movement” of N’COBRA, etc).
A lot of this can be found in the numerous books on Obama, including the newer “Barack Obama and the Enemies Within”, Trevour Loudon, 2011. Available at Amazon and through the mail/email at www.keywiki.org.
Obama and his propaganda group have now shown their anti-American, pro-Islamic fundamentalist hand with their betrayal by lies of the US Ambassador to Libya and four of his top aides, including Susan Rice, Jay Carney, Hilary Clinton, and even Leon Panetta. They are as responsible for the deaths of these brave men as were the Al Qaeda/Islamic extremists who actually killed them.
The ‘hate America’ rot of the Obama regime, including that of Att. Gen Eric Holder, the Democrat Party (with very few exceptions), their Communist/pro-Islam groupies - the Soros groups, a handful of Jewish KAPOS, radical Catholics and allied Christians, and the Jihadist infiltrators of CAIR, the Islamic Council of North America, etc., show just how deep this subversion and treason has soaked into the very fabric of America.
If Obama wins in November, you can bet your ass that more political speech prosecutions will be coming, with such targets as Fox News Channel, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Tom Marr, Bill Cuningham, Mike Gallagher, Mike Savage, Bob Grant, and even Bill (sometimes clueless) O’Reilly in the first onslaught.
Just look around. It is already happening by support from nuts like Cornell West to Mayor Michael Bloomburg, Rahm Emanuel, Mayor Nutter (Phila), Villaragoisa, and Rep. Ellison and that other Moslem clown in Congress, aided and abetted by the mindless Nancy Pelosi, Joe “I Wish I Had a Brain” Biden, John “I was in Cambodia” Kerry, Harry “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” Reid, Little Dickie “Like Nazis” Durbin, and nearly every Democrat politician in Congress from California, Illinois, New York, Maryland, and parts of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
When you vote on November 6th, and campaign before it, do both like your life depends on it. It does!
MadMax, tired of being betrayed in Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos, in Iraq, and now Afghanistan. I didn’t hump around Nam/Camboida, nor my son fight in Iraq, to be betrayed by my own government and media.
