White House Questioned French Magazine’s ‘Judgment’ In 2012 For Publishing Naked Muhammad Cartoon
CBS News ^ | 1-7-15 | NA

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — The White House criticized French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in 2012 for publishing cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad.

Then White House Press Secretary Jay Carney questioned the magazine’s judgment after publishing images of Muhammad naked.

“We are aware that a French magazine published cartoons featuring a figure resembling the Prophet Muhammad, and obviously we have questions about the judgment of publishing something like this,” Carney told reporters in September 2012.

Carney stated that the images would be “deeply offensive to many and have the potential to be inflammatory.”

Liberal elites want ‘free speech’ for themselves and their chosen victim groups. Period.

Here’s Obama’s response to the Paris Islamic Attack..(...note not a mention of islam or muslims...nothing...he sees this as just another “criminal” act.)

“I strongly condemn the horrific shooting at the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris that has reportedly killed 12 people. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this terrorist attack and the people of France at this difficult time. France is America’s oldest ally, and has stood shoulder to shoulder with the United States in the fight against terrorists who threaten our shared security and the world. Time and again, the French people have stood up for the universal values that generations of our people have defended. France, and the great city of Paris where this outrageous attack took place, offer the world a timeless example that will endure well beyond the hateful vision of these killers. We are in touch with French officials and I have directed my Administration to provide any assistance needed to help bring these terrorists to justice.”

Rare occurrence this morning when I tuned to NPR. What a bunch of morons and sycophants. The basic implication of the commentator was that the victims of this shooting sort of had it coming, and that “freedom of expression” will have to be limited from now on.

No mention whatsoever about how to eliminate terrorist acts or how to affect the behavior of terrorists.

He was also a camel driver (equiv. to a truck driver today) illiterate and immoral who married a wealthy older widow who procured young girls for his use.

His “koran” was written “by an angel” on grape leaves which mysteriously disappeared.

How can anyone with half a brain belive that he was a prophet from God?

Tell obozo he's dead wrong. We are a country founded on Judeo-Christian principals. And if HE or anyone doesn't like it, get the hell out of OUR country.

A very wise Frenchman once said “I disagree with everything you say—but I will fight to the death for your right to saay it.” Voltaire. What happened to Free Speach? What happened to the rights of Man? What happened to the France that gave birth to these ideals? Time to restore the Republic! Ask yourself—What would Gen. DeGaul do? What would Napoleon? What would Napoleon III do?

I think it is hard to argue with anyone who said that these cartoons might be inflammatory. Obviously true.

Just as obvious—offended Muzzies are entirely different creatures than offended Christians.

I think the families of those killed might be wondering whether publishing those cartoons was worth dying for.

There are a lot of crazy Muzzies out there. It’s dangerous to publish materials offensive to them. It’s wrong, but there’s no good in denying it. The crazy Muzzies take their religion far too seriously. I think they have nothing else to make them feel worthwhile.

The Newsmuseum in DC has “Je suis Charlie” poster in their front wall displays on Pennsylvania Avenue. Got news for those stupid leftists, a poster won’t stop a bullet.

Calling for the decimation of all Jihadists might be a good start.

Crickets. The sound of bullets. Jihadists winning.

Yet in this country the liberals can say, print or do anything they wish and draw the “pass” from the other liberals. It just amazes me the minds (or lack of) of liberals and progressives. Are they born with that gene? Or is it really from mama and daddy’s up bringing or in the liberal universities of Amerika?? Okay, your right, all of the above. The gene came from mom and dad so that is covered.
