He’s Ba-ack! Former Soviet Alexander Vindman Wants Conservative Media Sued to Shut Down Opposing Views
GP ^ | March 16, 2021 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 03/16/2021 10:04:50 AM PDT by White Lives Matter

Spoken like a true Soviet Marxist– Failed impeachment star witness Alexander Vindman wants conservative media to be sued into oblivion in order to silence opposing voices in the United States.

Vindman wrote about this at the Lawfare blog on Tuesday.

.Snip.

Breitbart reported:

Vindman wants the First Amendment restricted so that leftists who believe as he does can shut down unapproved speech in America.

This guy took a little bit of the Soviet Union with him when he moved to America.

Recent events have made the need for accountability more pressing than ever. Should anyone be surprised that viewers of right-wing media are radicalized when media personalities themselves promote radical ideas based on lies? … But while the rioters are being held accountable through the criminal justice system—and Congress at least had a chance to hold the former president accountable through the impeachment process—how can Americans hold the right-wing media responsible for its role in the attack? The mob that attacked the Capitol was born of hatred fomented by the right-wing media. These insurrectionists were raised for years on a steady diet of disinformation and half-truths, which produced the fertile fields for radicalization. … The First Amendment gravely limits the available tools to seek accountability for the right-wing media. Policymakers cannot, after all, tell media organizations what to say. Except in the most extreme situations, which are unlikely ever to arise, prosecutors also cannot accuse them of incitement. … Civil consequences, rather than governmental restrictions on First Amendment rights, could be a meaningful way to take what are fundamentally money-making ventures and demand truth from them, instill rigor in their reporting, and uphold accountability. Like a tabloid being sued and paying severe penalties, media companies and right-wing media personalities will claim that what’s at stake is freedom of speech.

Sounds like Vindman doesn't believe in the Constitutions 1st Amendment he swore an oath to defend. It's people like him who need to be purged from the military, not White Trump supporters in the military who love their country and Constitution.

Which half truths? Can they ever give an example other than just an opinion?

They gave Vindman a bucket of potatoes and a knife and told him to start peeling.

15 minutes later, they had to rush him to the hospital for sticking potato peels up his nose.

Should that not be a lawsuit filed against him for failure to uphold the oath he took?

Probably is true, despite the fact it is being reported by Hoft at GP.

Is he still on active duty? He’s a damned traitor and a spy for Ukraine and for those who conspired against President Trump.

Yeah...and if Rush had still been around and there was no story about this guy from 20 years and then one came up, he would still do it. Just like with Robert Reichhhhhhhhhhhhhh, John Kerry (who once served in Vietman), when the word “suicide” would appear in a story “Soooooeyyyyciiiiide!” in reference to a single show back in 1996 during the Craig Livingstone hearings. If you hadn’t been listening 24 years ago, you would not know why he was doing that.

I am thankful but somewhat surprised that Vindman, once known as Александр Виндман, is retired and not on active duty as a colonel or brigadier at the least. After all, he served the Rat regime well... /s
