How JD Vance Betrayed Our Values in Munich

[TimFitz]

Liberals apparently don't think free speech is an American value, they much prefer the censorship and despotism of Europe. How pathetic.

Trump and his henchmen prefer censorship and despotism.

The Trump cult cheers for it at the top of their lungs.

‘Few Americans would welcome an elected leader from Germany or France who gave a speech on our soil, urging politicians here to stop shunning the Ku Klux Klan. Yet that isn't so far from the message delivered to European officials by Vice President JD Vance at the Munich Security Conference on Feb. 14 — which understandably provoked outrage among our allies, just as Vance and his boss, President Donald Trump, must have intended.

Instead of addressing Europe's security concerns, such as Trump's impending abandonment of Ukraine to Russian aggression, Vance lectured his audience on domestic issues such as "free speech," immigration and the rejection of ultra-right extremism.

Nobody familiar with Vance, a man known for spreading false stories about migrants eating pets in his home state, could have been surprised to learn that he uttered numerous falsehoods in Munich. In warning against infringements on religious speech, for instance, he claimed that Scotland had intimidated its citizens from privately praying in their own homes. Scottish officials instantly rebutted that absurd lie, which referred to a carefully drafted law creating small "buffer zones" for protesters at abortion clinics.’

The ‘free speech’ lie is particularly ridiculous – rightwing racists and bigots are at liberty to spread hate speech; to denounce rightwing hate speech doesn’t ‘violate’ that right to free speech.

And Vance not only betrayed our values in Munich, but he embraced the lies and disinformation propagated by the fascist right to advance their agenda of anti-immigrant racism, bigotry, and hate.

Vance didn't do that....he told them to stop arresting normal people who have a problem with importing 3rd world criminals into their countries, and to stop putting peaceful, religious people in prison for praying....you moron.

And he also told them to start providing for their own protection...since we are going to be a little busy protecting the world from China.

You don’t believe in free speech.

You don't have the slightest idea what I or anyone else believes outside of your little pin head.

 

[Concerned American]

There was no truth there.

Just parochial condescending jingoistic nonsense.

It was one of the most shameful performances in US diplomatic history.

All the more so, as Vance didn’t seem to understand how insulting his remarks were, or how deep the sense of betrayal is.

Especially as Vance promoted the very ideology that was at the heart of the last world war.

They wouldn't be insulted if it weren't true.

Trump and his henchmen prefer censorship and despotism.

The Trump cult cheers for it at the top of their lungs.

Your silly projection absent even a single example just makes you look like neo-toddler whiner.

 

[BackAgain]

NATO was designed to keep the Germans down, the Russians out and the Americans in.
Trump peace talks are designed to keep the Ukrainians shut up, the Europeans out and the Russians in.

Not a speck of truth in bingo’s cretin post.

Advocating for free speech is "anti American" and fascist.

Meanwhile in Germany they are raiding people's houses in the dark of night with armed police officers to arrest and seize computers and smart phones because they insulted a politician on the internets....

Arresting people and putting them in prison for posting memes online aren't "our values". They're your values.
