Bush Administration Criticized Danish Cartoons: “We Found The Cartoons Offensive”
The Bush administration criticized the cartoons that mocked the prophet Muhammed, but made clear they stood up for freedom of the press at a State Department press briefing in February 2006. The Obama Administration is under fire for expressing (then retracting) a similar sentiment about a video.

wayned4 8 months agoThe statements are entirely different in character. The embassy’s statement condemned the abuse of the freedom of speech by the filmmakers. It has nothing to do with this statement made by the Bush Administration, and is in fact the exact opposite. We may find something offensive, but defend the right of someone to say it. That is the point of freedom of speech. To defend unpopular viewpoints.
