Obama to Jihadists: Be Nicer.....

"The strongest weapon against hateful speech is not repression, it is more speech -- the voices of tolerance that rally against bigotry and blasphemy and lift up the values of understanding and mutual respect," said Obama, who is on record supporting "hate-crime" legislation that would ban politically incorrect speech in the public square.

The real reason Obama doesn't suppress free speech is that he can't get away with it. At least not yet. As he wistfully noted in his speech, "at a time when anyone with a cellphone can spread offensive views around the world with the click of a button," government regulation of free speech is simply impractical.
