60 Minutes recently interviewed some politicians in Germany who like to prosecute people for insulting politicians.

Their names are Josephine Ballon, Matthäus Fink, Svenja Meininghaus, and Frank-Michael Laue.

Since they like to prosecute people who insult politicians, it is my moral obligation to insult them.

I should point out that I have never actually been in Germany.

My grandmother (on my mother’s side) did have three sisters who were murdered by the Nazis.

As it says on my Twitter profile, I believe that every child should frequently watch Looney Tunes, the Three Stooges, Jonny Quest, and You Can’t Do That On Television. I grew up watching all of those, and they helped to make me the huge opponent of authoritarianism that I am today. Also a big shout-out to the The Twilight Zone season 2 episode “The Obsolete Man.” I also give credit to writers George Orwell and Ayn Rand.

Anyway, here’s the full piece from 60 Minutes:

Here are some of my tweets about this:

I'm not posting the tweets at Free Republic because they contain offensive content. I don't want anyone other than myself to be responsible for what I said in these tweets. If you like my tweets, please retweet them so they will be read by as many people as possible. It is my deliberate intent to insult and embarrass these German politicians as much as possible. Thank you.

Well said.

I live in Germany myself, and am incensed by govt. attempts to squelch free speech.

I have never approved of German slander laws - specifically, the prosecution of private citizens for mere insults.

The prosecution of the retired man who called Federal Minister Habeck a "Schwachkopf" (= literally "weak in the head") - they raided his house and seized material - is especially concerning.

I wonder if one could skirt these laws by instead posting comments and memes and cartoons praising Habeck "in spite of his considerable intellectual deficits."

(I mean: Everyone has an intellectual deficit of one kind or another, right?)

"Yes, his brain does, in fact, generate enough energy to keep his legs moving - all appearances to the contrary!"

Or saying, "Although he certainly looks like he's weak in the head, we definitely wouldn't want to hurt his delicate feelings by stating that outright!"

It’s unbelievable they are doing this after how people were treated who spoke out against the Nazis.

First, they load up your country with people who are easily insulted. Then they make it illegal to insult them. Sounds like a set up to me.

The Euro-weenies are cowards. They’re hoping the Islamic alligator eats them last. They will sacrifice anything and everyone to hang on to power & wealth for as long as possible. I lived in Europe for almost 20 yrs. So glad to be home.
