Of course, if you want to see what Obama actually said, you can read the transcript or watch his grovelling, cultural Marxist antics on Youtube. Your choice.
Obama's invertebrate wriggling as he makes statements such as "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam" while pretending that Middle Eastern Muslims are going to return this favor to Christians and Jews and after having apologized incessantly for our own First Amendment freedoms on repeated occasions and all but licking the boots of the mostly totalitarian, police state Arab world by incessantly attacking and fulminating over a faux movie trailer made by an obscure neurotic and placed on a social media site and holding, heels-dug-in, against all evidence to the contrary, that this video was the cause of a world-wide Jihadist uprising which just happened to begin on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks (which were an inside job, right Kevin? Right Bond? Right Krose? Right Bluff? Right Eric? Right Analytics? Right Pale? Right Screech? Right Beastie? Right TD? Right Toronto?)
It is an insult not only to Muslims, but to America as well -- for as the city outside these walls makes clear, we are a country that has welcomed people of every race and every faith. We are home to Muslims who worship across our country. We not only respect the freedom of religion, we have laws that protect individuals from being harmed because of how they look or what they believe. We understand why people take offense to this video because millions of our citizens are among them.
Can you believe this clown? Millions of Christians who took offense to "Piss Christ" or to pictures of the Virgin Mary smeared with elephant dung, or to Robert Mapplethorpe’s homosexual fetish art, all produced at taxpayer expense, were derided and mocked as the un-cool, the un-hip, and the monobrowed lower orders (all non-leftists) by the Anointed, while countless insulting, slanderous, mocking, sniggering attacks on Christianity, in all its traditional forms, and virtually all of its core values and ideals, from Hollywood and the pop music industry over decades, have gone without mob violence, mass murder, assassination, and the use of heavy weapons (anti-armor weapons, tactical explosives, etc.) against the slanderers, mockers, and sniggerers at Christianity, Judaism, and the moral values and ethos grounded in those religious systems. And in all this, no one - no one - on the Left, save perhaps the most obscure within the most obscure venues - have
ever raised a finger of protest, disgust, or second thoughts, no, not until the Left's new noble savages - Third World Arab Muslims - assert that their hair-trigger feelings have been savaged by a doofy joke movie trailer.
Obama, good cultural Marxist that he is, pays the required lip service to the classical liberal tradition upon which the nation is founded:
I know there are some who ask why we don’t just ban such a video. And the answer is enshrined in our laws: Our Constitution protects the right to practice free speech.
Here in the United States, countless publications provoke offense. Like me, the majority of Americans are Christian, and yet we do not ban blasphemy against our most sacred beliefs. As President of our country and Commander-in-Chief of our military, I accept that people are going to call me awful things every day -- (laughter) -- and I will always defend their right to do so.
Americans have fought and died around the globe to protect the right of all people to express their views, even views that we profoundly disagree with. We do not do so because we support hateful speech, but because our founders understood that without such protections, the capacity of each individual to express their own views and practice their own faith may be threatened. We do so because in a diverse society, efforts to restrict speech can quickly become a tool to silence critics and oppress minorities.
We do so because given the power of faith in our lives, and the passion that religious differences can inflame, the strongest weapon against hateful speech is not repression; it is more speech -- the voices of tolerance that rally against bigotry and blasphemy, and lift up the values of understanding and mutual respect.
But then, Freud begins his slip:
Now, I know that not all countries in this body share this particular understanding of the protection of free speech. We recognize that. But in 2012, at a time when anyone with a cell phone can spread offensive views around the world with the click of a button, the notion that we can control the flow of information is obsolete. The question, then, is how do we respond?
Get that? "Sorry, Arab Muslim world, but the time when I could have nipped this in the bud and taken control of the media is long over. If I could, I'd be willing to help out (and I'd have much more flexibility when the election's over), but technology has simply caught up with socialism, and, even though we did once have the Fairness Doctrine, much more than that would have been required to stop this video from going around the world. Sorry, but the good old days when a people's revolutionary government could just shut down the papers, expropriate the radio and TV stations, and criminalize political speech they don't like is mostly over. We're working on that, but its, for all intents, over. I understand how you feel, but there's really not much I can do at this point."
Even more intelligence insulting is Obama's continued silly insistence that the movie had anything whatsoever to do with the worldwide Muslim violence and mob terrorism now underway. But the real degree of Obama's utter disconnection from reality, and his self-satisfied disdain for the intelligence of his audience, can be see here:
More broadly, the events of the last two weeks also speak to the need for all of us to honestly address the tensions between the West and the Arab world that is moving towards democracy.
The Arab world is "moving towards democracy"? Obama is either wholly decoupled from reality (a reality he has done everything in his power see come to fruition) or he thinks this kind of gushy utopian rhetoric actually resonates with his base (which it very well may do). He can't possibly believe that the bulk of the U.N. membership, which would like nothing more than to see Israel disappear from the map and millions of Jews in camps similar to those Hitler constructed for the same purposes, actually buys into this gaseous tripe.
Now, let me be clear: Just as we cannot solve every problem in the world, the United States has not and will not seek to dictate the outcome of democratic transitions abroad. We do not expect other nations to agree with us on every issue, nor do we assume that the violence of the past weeks or the hateful speech by some individuals represent the views of the overwhelming majority of Muslims, any more than the views of the people who produced this video represents those of Americans. However, I do believe that it is the obligation of all leaders in all countries to speak out forcefully against violence and extremism.
Really? He believes that "it is the obligation of all leaders in all countries to speak out forcefully against violence and extremism."? Really? The problem here is, of course, that a substantial number of the people in the chamber in which he was speaking are up to their ears in that very violence and extremism, and have been for a very long time. The U.N. is, indeed, not much more than a kind of diabolical frat house for Third World despots, kleptocrats, thugs, and racists, with the Jews and America having been singled out for special consideration for decades.
It can only get worse.
