That entire article is full of people that need slapping until reason takes hold of them.

“Activism is a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole.” - Dr Thomas Sowell
I never thought I'd say something like this, but I guess things like "Project Runway" and "Keeping up with the Kardashians" actually do count as having something better to do when compared to what the extremist islamists think typical Americans spend their time doing.

Hey, if he wanted to keep a low profile, he went about it a pretty dumb fucking way.

Yep, totally got what was coming to him. The fact that millions of people are calling for his arrest, and the white house took steps to shut down the video has nothing to do with it.

He violated the basic Hobbesian tenet of, "If you're going to talk shit, expect pain." Furthermore, a judge in Cali just blocked an actor's attempt to get the vid yanked. She was pissed about the number of death threats she received, but I suppose those don't matter.

Depends on the contract she signed when she took the role. It will outline how much of her performance she still has control over and if she can get it pulled. Odds are she can't though because she signed those rights away.

Olivia DeHavilland successfully sued the entire movie industry claiming the old school contracts were a form of indentured servitude. It wouldn't be the first time some agent's bullshit was overruled.
This is a fraud-prone, proven asshole who has made a financial living lying to people. If he had the balls to stand up on YouTube and personally recite a monologue, or some other such direct shit promoting his beliefs, then fine, I'd be defending him to the hilt. He chose to be a fucking lying bastard about it. I will give him no benefit of any doubt.
Normally, I'd defend someone who speaks their mind from any retribution from the masses. This fucko, not so much. Not on a legal or moral basis, but just because he acted like a dumb-ass. In spite of the psychotic reaction of certain religious folk, the fact remains lives were lost. The parchment and ink that the Bill of Rights was written on didn't stop it from occurring. John Locke loses yet again to Thomas Hobbes.

I'll wait to see what this dude thinks when someone makes "The Innocence of Coptic Christians."

"It's best not to upset a Wookie..." As absurd as that analogy seems, why the FUCK would you provoke someone that doesn't have much to live for because they live in a shitty third-world country ruled by fundamentalist dictators? Why the fuck would you provoke folks whose hardline members entertain hobbies like blowing shit up by using themselves as crude, oversized blasting caps? Were the fuckwads that stormed the embassy ultimately responsible for killing people? Sure. Do I approve of giving fuckwads more yet another reason to express misdirected indignation? If there's a decent enough cause.

Your cure involves embassies getting torched?
