Kathryn Bigelow
John Nolte thinks the White House should insist that the movie “Zero Dark Thirty” be shelved because it could inflame the Muslim world.
Now that the White House and State Department have made clear that they believe movies compel terrorists to terrorize, it’s time for them to get ahead of this problem. And one thing the White House can do immediately is to pressure Sony to stop the release of director Kathryn Bigelow’s “Zero Dark Thirty,” which celebrates the killing of Osama bin Laden.
I’m only saying this because, you know, the White House and the media told me movies inflame and cause terrorism. …
Moreover, an excuse Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will not be able to use in the case of “Zero Dark Thirty” (as she did with “Innocence of Muslims”) is the cowardly and self-righteous claim that the federal government and the Obama White House had nothing to do with “Zero Dark Thirty.”
Because the federal government and the Obama White House had everything to do with “Zero Dark Thirty.”
As we now know, in an effort to get this glitzy in-kind contribution (tens of millions of dollars) up on the screen in time to affect the election, it was the Obama Administration that gave the filmmakers tons of encouragement and a troubling amount of access to all kinds of classified material.

We all know that nobody will ask Bigelow not to release her movie, as it was made with the intention of making President Obama look good. He needs all the propaganda he can get. I just wonder if this movie does insult Muslims and sends them out rampaging in the streets if the authorities will send brownshirts to Bigelow’s home in the middle of the night like they did to the guy who made that obscure film they’re blaming everything on now. They probably won’t, you know, because in the Obama world some people are more equal and deserving of rights than others.

Update: The Onion posted a vulgar, offensive image blaspheming the faiths of Hindus, Jews, Christians and Buddhists, but nobody rioted and nobody died. Go figure.
Update 2: Instapundit linked – thanks!
Update 3: The Pirate’s Cove linked – thanks!
This whole thing is a total cluster***k. People need to go to jail over this.

These people took an oath to do ONE THING… and now they are working against even that!

‘YOU DIDN’T BURN THAT’
I see you’ve burnt an American flag.
You say to yourself, “I’m fundamentalist…I’m fanatical”.
But there are many others just as fundamentalist, just
as fanatical. You didn’t become fundamentalist, didn’t
become fanatical by yourself…all along the way there were
others who helped you. The Iman at the Madrassa, the lady
in the burqa who cleaned after classes, the local embassy
guard who whispered when the motorcade would drive by, they
all share in your jihad success. The corrupt governments
who fan the flame of your rage then direct it outward, who
subsidize your hate, who pocket foreign aid and build dirt
roads to connect your shantytowns…they helped you as well.

If there’s a constitutional violation involved, a grand jury should be (not -is-) able to revoke sovereign immunity from every single individual involved.
In the military this would be “Refusing Illegal Orders”.
Make it so the individuals have a strong interest in following their own interpretation, instead of the attitude of “Well, if I’m wrong, the department might be fined, but it won’t affect me.”

Sovereign immunity has its valid uses, but when it is used to violate rights, now, for political purposes knowing that right will win out later, sovereign immunity should be revoked. The only way to stop these violations is create a penalty. If there is not penalty, there will be no stopping. And, those penalties should go right up the chain of command. I seriously doubt any of this was done without the knowledge and approval of Eric Holder.

I’m not sure what you mean about doing “something”, Thomas. The point is that nothing should have been done in the first place. It’s a post about double standards.

I think the video should be shown, this may be the straw that breaks the Obama “Hope Vote!”
Obama is a fraud and needs a landslide loss to show him that the 2010 mid-term vote was a voter mandate for him to change which he totally disregarded!
If the movie is determined to be illegal, Obama should also receive graciously his time in jail for violating US law!
I’m sure you would urge the Senate to apply the existing law to a derelict president… Right TW?

If Bigelow’s movie is released, people ought to think long and hard about whether they want to go see it in a vulnerable movie theater, considering all the angry Religionists of Peace running around loose. Just sayin’.
