CNN, doing Obama's bidding since 2008, no matter right or wrong.

CNN, going after a filmmaker who supposedly has free speech here in America, caving in to the Obama Administration narrative that everything has to do with this movie.

From your link:

Quote:
CNN acknowledged this fact and then went on to show a picture of Nikoula as well as reveal information that they boastfully said they "dug up" on the filmmaker. CNN went on to editorialize by saying the film would be "Oscar worthy, if HATEFUL were a category." This continues CNN's long history of going beyond reportage of "facts," as they pretend to do, and actual advocacy for the agenda of America's enemies. Former Chairman Ted Turner was famous for his support of the Soviet Union during the cold war and CNN gained exclusive access to Saddam Hussein's Iraq while staying silent about many of the regime's atrocities they witnessed.

One wonders if CNN would have done all this digging on author Salmon Rushdie when he was first threatened with a fatwah in 1989. At the time, Rushdie was celebrated and hailed as a courageous artist for penning "The Satanic Verses" which radical Islamists found so offensive Rushdie was sentenced to death in absentia in Iran.

Here we are, only 23 years later, and CNN, the most trusted name in news, aids the terrorists in finding their man... and aids the Obama Administration in furthering the scape-goating of Nikoula and his video to distract from their failed leadership in the Middle East.

That was pretty low of CNN. So now, people like Rushdie (along with the less talented people like this clown) have no refuge for free speech. People forget how Islam did the same things after Rushdie released "Satanic Verses". As Franklin wrote "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

We might get something positive out of this. Nik Nik the nutball essentially yelling fire in a theatre gets a bullet in the head then the US executes his killer who is undoubtably some Jihadist POS.

2 less backside cavities in the world.

Actually the brother (and one of the leaders of these Egyptian protests) was interviewed and he said they were protesting because "the name of the film insulted all islamists everywhere"

And when he was asked if he saw the flick his answer was: no

These terrorist twits look for any excuse to run around in the streets, burn buildings and destroy automobiles and sometimes kill people...

They remind me of fire ants and should be dealt with accordingly...

Didn't FOX out the real name of the author (who was an ex-Navy Seal) of "No Easy Day", putting a
target on his back and that of his family. That book didn't set off and violence other than tick the government off.
I read the book and watched a Documentary made long before the book came out and the documentary
gave the same details that the author gave, and probably more.

Gosh, I don't recall hearing much outrage about that. Once his name came out he did make a TV appearance.
If anything, people thought the author should have expected it. So, I'd have to say that the "film maker" who
was so vocal and hid using various alias' should have expected it.
