Obama lies about Sony to puff himself up

[Mac-7]

The wimp in chief attacked Sony for pulling "The Interview" when in fact it was US theater chains not Sony who were afraid to show it.

Mistake =/= lie.

Mistake =/= lie.

More like

Stupid =/= mistake

[Mac-7]

Obama also said "they should have asked me" but Sony says they were in contact with the administration.

So is Obama a liar or just ignorant of what goes on under his very nose?

Yes

[hanger4]

What Obama did do is criticize Sony's censorship decision to pull 'The Interview' yet supported censorship for a film blamed for Benghazi the“Innocence of Muslims.” The hypocrisy of the left never ceases to amaze me.

Just watched GMA's puff piece supporting Obama's chest thumping and some Lollywooders without a mention of his and their contradiction. Who'd a thunk.

Sony doesn't censor. It is a private business.

Then if you could, would or care to ..... add "self-" to "censorship". :)

The invocation of the word censorship is to somehow get the Constitution into the issue.

Didn't mean it in that context. Just pointing out Obama criticizing one group for doing what he asked another to do. I shall endeavor to be more concise in the future. :)

I would expect so, otherwise the word is not very useful.

Man, that was some kind of attack! Ferocious, mind-numbing, to-the-bone hysterical attack on Sony!!

"Yes, I think they made a mistake" is an attack? Holy shit, Mac! What do you call a REAL attack on someone? Or is it just Obama? (again)

LOL...stupid thread.

Obama is correct. If the theater chains refused to show it, Sony shouldn't have come straight out and said "we have no further plans for this movie".

Nope, they should have said nothing, grown a pair and after buttoning up their security ... released it on DVD.

[Peter1469]

They will release it at some point.

Oh gwad! Why do you even ask that question. I cannot think of a single thing he hasn't lied about. It 😱 is pathological

[Crepitus]

I just have to laugh at these threads. You people are so completely brainwashed by the right wing noise machine that they don't even have to feed you talking points anymore. You're so conditioned that you automatically see everything in the worst possible light and assume it's president Obama's fault no matter how little sense it makes or how much evidence there is to the contrary. I laugh because if I didn't I'd have to cry.

Thanks for making my point.

I was referring specifically to our conservative members. I think the forum as a whole is pretty evenly split.

Is Sony responsible for protecting the country from cyber attack?

I think obumer is.

Anyway he was not so brave when his cousins were killing 4 Americans in Bengazi and he was blaming a movie for inciting them to violence.

[Mac-7]

Obama is correct. If the theater chains refused to show it, Sony shouldn't have come straight out and said "we have no further plans for this movie".

Nope, they should have said nothing, grown a pair and after buttoning up their security ... released it on DVD.

Obama did not have his facts straight because Sony could not show a film in theaters where the owners refused it.

But after he gets back from vacation and if he's not fundraising he could find time to buy the film from Sony and release it into the public domain.

Or maybe not since the North Koreans might go after him instead of sony.

Not really. Censorship has nothing to do with the constitution unless it's a government censoring.

I don't understand your point, then. Sony pulling a movie out of fear of its content is still censorship, whether or not they are a private business is irrelevant.

The word censorship, outside of a Constitutional context is meaningless. I made a poem and refuse to share it with you. That is not censorship, that is tough shit.

That's not censorship, agreed. This circumstance is, however. Sony made a movie. People not Sony are refusing to show that movie out of fear for its content.

THAT is censorship. It's the "why" that makes it censorship.

Disagreed. Theaters chose not to air the film because their insurance companies would not cover a terror attack on the theater. That was an intelligent business decision.

It was a cowardly one. Now we've effectively goven our society over to fear of inept worms that will never be capable of following through with their threats. That will lose them more money than it will save them in the long run.

I imagine that they will make money off the film somehow.

By all accounts it is a suck ass film anyway.

[PolWatch]

It's getting lots of free publicity...they will end up making $$$ off of it. Without all this to-do, the movie would have probably been a loser...imho

[Peter1469]

This is North Korea crying out for attention. The perfect response would be complete silence.

So is Obama a liar or just ignorant of what goes on under his very nose?Dont you think that was a large display of narcissistic arrogance on Obama's part? AND, WHY, is Obama even getting himself involved in this matter, it's only inherently obvious he hasn't a clue about the facts of this issue.. . .As usual.

[Mac-7]

Dont you think that was a large display of narcissistic arrogance on Obama's part? .

I do.

obama sent his lackeys out to grovel to Arab wackos over a movie about that false prophet that they found offensive.

But here he blasts Sony for not taking on the insane North Koreans in hand to hand combat.

What a putz.
