CMV: Republicans are trying to turn Sony pulling 'The Interview' into America losing a cyberwar so they can blame Obama for it.

So much of this conversation is so full of horseshit that I can barely read about it anymore. 

"America" didn't give in to terrorists, a Japanese multinational media conglomerate did, as they have every right to. 

"America" did not lose its first cyberwar, a private sector company chose not to further incite maniac terrorists, as is their right to do.

This still sucks, obviously, but this isn't about our personal liberties being taken away, nor is it about America giving in to foreign powers' demands.

But Newt Gingrich and his horde of idiots want to use this to paint Obama as weak in the face of terror, so that's the narrative they're pushing and a disappointingly large number of people are picking up the baton.

So, uh... change my view.

Sony Pictures Entertainment is an American company headquartered in California.  It produced an English-language movie and changed its mind about releasing it in US theatres due to a North Korean terrorist threat to bomb those theatres.  

Sony's decision means that a major corporation sees US security as so weak that a North Korean threatened bombing holds more weight than guaranteed millions of revenue.  That's a huge problem for Republicans.  They worry that Muslims have a heckler's veto against US media, and that this is a huge cultural/political problem.

This has only a little to do with Obama, it has more to do with the America that Republicans want to see.  And the America they want to see is one that won't censor anti-Muslim films for fear of violence.
