What Is The White House Position On Free Speech And Terrorism?
Townhall Magazine ^ | Jan 08, 2015 | Conn Carroll

Posted on 01/09/2015 8:26:24 AM PST by george76

in the case of an entertainment company releasing a movie criticizing a dictator, Obama is perfectly comfortable telling that entertainment company what it should and shouldn't do.

But in the case of a news company printing editorial content criticizing Islam, Obama suddenly has no opinion whatsoever on the matter.

...

Obama's preference that news organizations not publish any material that might offend Muslims was also evident in his September 2012 address to the United Nations where he said, "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."

So which is it?

Does the future belong Charlie Hedbo, Sony, and freedom of speech?

Or does it belong to North Korea and terrorists who kill in the name of Islam?

Just like his message to the Ferguson and other rioters: Stay On Course.

Obama to Ferguson Rioters: Stay on Course

But slander is defined by Webster as “a false report”, so It ain`t slander, it`s the T_R_U_T_H!

Obama was angry that Sony pulled The Interview after terrorist threats were made on theaters.

Obama harassed a preacher who threatened to bbq his own koran down and Florida and a filmmaker who put a movie up on Youtube that nobody saw. IRS threats against the former and jail for the latter.

Terrorism doesn’t concern Obama, he’s pro-Islamist.

Smears and attacks and generalizations about Christians are okay in his book too.

What Is The White House Position On Free Speech And Terrorism?

The answer requires only a little restructuring of the question:

The White House Position Is That Free Speech Is Terrorism.

Obama said “I will stand with the muslims should the political winds turn an ugly direction”.
In other words, the more attacks they do and the more truth about them comes out, the more he will enable their actions.

Exactly.
And likely hundreds of other acts of treason that we have not heard of yet.
