1. Based on this one link alone, can you account for the legitimacy of this video?That is to say, are you sure if the State Dept. actually made this video, and its not the work of someone bored sitting behind his parents computer? It is not a difficult task to take two clips that were broadcast on free news channels, insert an Arabic translation caption at the bottom, and splash a state dept. logo at the end of it. With the right equipment, I could replicate that video in a matter of 10 minutes with a dead on balls Arabic translation.
2. IF the video is actually legitimate, and we're criticizing the $70k, why? Time and time again, have conservatives not claimed that hundreds of millions are only drops in the bucket when we're discussing revenue increases. Why is a $70k expenditure a problem?
3. If you're a journalist, and you have some kind of respect for balance and journalistic integrity, why use a politically and emotionally charged phrase like "Obama used X in taxpayer funds" when criticizing the content of the video? Why deviate off the subject to illicit an emotional response.
I give this link a D-
