Hillary Clinton Speaks Out Against Planned Qur'an Burning

From the Washington Post:

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that plans by a small church in Florida to burn the Muslim holy book are "outrageous" and "aberrational" and do not represent America.

...

"We want to be judged by who we are as a nation, not by something that is so aberrational and we will make that case as strongly as possible."

Burning books, including the Bible and Qur'an, is an American freedom protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. So why is the Secretary of State in Obama's Administration speaking out against an act of freedom, an act that (as long as it isn't a Qur'an) her side of the aisle generally supports?

Let's rewind to 2005 to find Clinton's stance on free speech. In 2005, she cosponsored legislation to criminalize flag desecration (the most common form of which is flag burning). Flag burning has been a staple of liberal protests, but this is where she strayed from liberal and Democratic support of free speech. In 2005, Hillary Rodham Clinton showed that she supported placing strict limits on speech that some might find subjectively offensive.

In that light, it isn't surprising at all that she considers American freedom "aberrational".
