Ambassador Murdered

Rather interesting is a rumored Isreali, living in California, who is credited with creating that video. He cannot be found. Is rumored to have gone into hiding. His name appears to be ficticous. Just like a super PAC that the Supreme Court said has the right to say anything they can pay for.

According to the Supremes, he has the right to vocalize an opinion as long as it is not a felony and he can pay for it. Therefore any fictional person or corporation can do this. Responsiblity no longer applies.

Nakoula told the AP that he was a Coptic Christian and said the film's director supported the concerns of Christian Copts in Egypt about their treatment by Muslims.

Nakoula denied posing as Bacile, who supposedly is an Israeli Jew, although the Israelis say they have no record of such a person.

Listened to a story about this on NPR on the way back from class just now. It's not online yet but will be soon.
Someone called the Associated Press and blamed the video on an Israeli-American, who turned out to not be a real person. The person who called turned out to be Nakoula, the filmmaker - who is on probation after serving two years for an $800,000 bank fraud. One of the terms of his probation was that he not use the Internet - but it was under his israeli-american pseudonym that he posted the video to youtube.
The video itself may not be prosecutable, but we can probably go after the guy on probation violation anyway...

I didn't hear any of this about the filmmaker until driving home tonight. Surfing the stations I heard two conservative and/or religious station ranting about the attention being given to the filmmaker.

I initially agreed that he had the right to promote his views. If, however, he deliberately posed as an Israeli Jew with the intent to incite violence, then he should have the book thrown at him.

BTW, is it me or is Romney coming off looking bad in all this. He gets the facts wrong, mostly by rushing ahead to beat out the administration, and then pushes forward instead of acknowledging the error. Not a good combination. It's more likely to be a recipe for another 10 year, trillion dollar war.

Hardcore conservatives and pundits like Rush are defending him, but I think he lost points with independents.

Did you bother to read the second paragraph?

I kept it short and you still missed the point.
