"Oh, the competition is fierce, what with many who should know better leaping to denounce denigration of religion and hurting feelings when the poking the religion and feelings in question might lead to an irrational, violent response to a YouTube video that looks like it was made in my parents basement with a camcorder circa 1987. Old and busted: Breezy requests that those offended turn the channel or chill out and brave, indignant battle cries for free speech in the face of those who dont actually threaten it. New hotness: Respecting the right of those doing violence not to be offended by our speech."

Does he believe a Christian-baiting or Mormon-baiting crappy YouTube clip is an abuse of that right worthy of condemnation by a mouthpiece of the U.S. government? I bet I could find a couple no fed has bothered to condemn yet, in order to affirm both our inclusiveness and our free speech. You know why? Because they shouldnt, and they only do it when those baited are prone to violence.
As to whether its Romney who has embraced the illiberal Islamist mindset that led to the embassy invasion: To declare a movie offensive is to authorize its suppression, anyone think this kind of thing might have a little bit of a chilling effect? "
