Obama and Clinton Review Video

Two on the Aisle: Obama and Clinton Review Video Trailer

 

As the scandals involved in Benghazigate continue to develop, Barack and Hillary have decided to produce at taxpayer expense a commercial commenting on the stale video, released last July, that they, incredibly, seek to blame for the very fresh slaughters in Libya on 9/11.

 

Hillary’s participation in the commercial is presumably designed to establish a bond with Muslim women. After all, her husband has a well-documented disrespect for women equal to that of Islam.

 

The Barack/Hillary critique of the video is not as detailed as mine, posted here recently, but its point is clear. They no like. The review goes on to say that the United States did not produce it and hates it fully as much as any Muslim. Thus, America and Islam are bonded in a common opinion.

 

Conspicuously absent from the commercial is a single reference to free speech. Not one.

 

The defense of this alarming omission is that Islamic populations are so primitive that they have difficulty getting their chops around the exotic and relatively recent concept of free speech. But couldn’t we at least make a start? While we’re trying to delve into the inner wisdom of stoning women and killing gays and those who stray from the Muslim faith, perhaps they could make a comparable effort toward understanding one of our weirder principles.

Now the "liberal" Obama administration is having second thoughts about another basic American freedom: of the Press.

The administration is attacking CNN for publicizing our slain Ambassador's journal, which apparently expresses concern about his lack of security on the eve of an attack which anyone with eyes to see could have anticipated.

If CNN is attacked for standing in way of Obama's march for four more years (yikes!) can MSNBC be far behind?

And yet liberal would-be, but actually-not, intellectuals throw principle under the rug and follow this snakeoil salesman into the sea.
Is there a portion of the First Amendment that this administration has not yet trampled?
