This country was founded upon religious liberty and she was expressing just that. Here is the ENTIRE quote . . .
"Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind."
We are also free to judge a video and find it disgusting. Have you forgotten that? Here is the ENTIRE quote . . .
“This is a fairly volatile situation, and it is in response not to United States policy, obviously not to the administration, not to the American people. It is in response to a video, a film, that we have judged to be reprehensible and disgusting — that in no way justifies any violent reaction to it.”
"For other countries it can be difficult to understand why the United States allows such offensive speech as that displayed in the anti-Muhammad film. The United States does not seek to limit freedom of speech, even speech it finds offensive."
