Neil Macdonald of CBC

What is wrong with this guy? He writes in an op-ed on the CBC website that the controversial movie “Innocence of Muslims” is merely an expression of freedom of speech. He writes:

“But speech is sacred in this country, even speech that can be weaponized. And there is a price to be paid.”

Mr. Macdonald, it is more than free speech. It is an extreme hate propaganda and hate crime. Ask the family and the loved ones of the Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other embassy members who lost their lives because of this film. Those who killed these innocent folks and those who produced this hateful propaganda film both are guilty and both are criminals.

He also defends Romney's position on this tragedy.

"Romney, facing mounting blowback for politicizing the crisis, stuck to his line Wednesday. The anti-Muslim video, he said, is speech, and free speech is a constitutionally protected American value, and under no circumstances should the American government ever apologize for it.

You can debate that position all you like, but Romney is correct about the status of Innocence of Muslims as protected speech."


UPDATE: Here is the picture of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula ,
the moviemaker, with the authorities.
