CBS Radio News "Now at least Federal authorities might be able to punish the filmmaker"... "
CBS news ^ | Sep 28, 2012 | Dan Raviv
Short CBS newscast at noon (ET) Friday on the filmmaker taken into custody on probation violations. I was taken aback by Raviv say, and I checked the broadcast posted at the URL to make sure I had heard right.
Asterisks indicate spoken emphasis in the broadcast:
ANCHOR (Steve Kathan) "The man behind the anti-Islam video that sparked outrage in the Muslim world is still in jail in Los Angeles for a probation violation.
RAVIV "I'm Dan Raviv in Washington. The short movie posted on YouTube has had a lot of diplomatic impact. It was *clearly* designed to insult the Prophet Mohammed, and a senior Obama administration official told CBS News last week that no one in the Middle East seems to believe that the US government could not stop the film from getting out. Now at least Federal authorities might be able to *punish* the filmmaker."
ANCHOR The Dow is down 69. This is CBS News."

OK, this was only a short newscast, but it seemed dance very close to blurring the line between punishment for probation violation and for the film.

The Obama Administration and DOJ have made him a target
for the rest of his life for their State religion.

This is an effort to silence speach, if I was the judge, I would hold all of these federal officers and prosecutors in contempt of court.
The courts aren’t supposed to be a tool of suppression of human rights.

"The courts aren’t supposed to be a tool of suppression of human rights."
It was a judge who ordered him not to use the internet for a specific period of time. How that judge had the right to do that is beyond me.

Any way to look up CBS coverage of Last Temptation of the Christ?
To: Tirian
Full on nazi publications and programs are published in the USA. With rants against blacks and Jews. This is LEGAL in the United States. So is this anti-muslim movie. So was Bill Maher’s anti religion screed. And half the films in Hollywood that trash Christianity.
We can’t stop freedom of speech only against Obama’s protected class.
What happened to “...but I defend to the death his right to say it”?
What has happened to our free republic?
Sharia Law does not recognize the First Amendment.
