Farmers leader sentenced for slander
The maverick farmers’ Self-Defense party leader Andrzej Lepper has been sentenced to 15 months in jail, suspended for 5 years for slandering five politicians. He will have to pay a 20,000 zloty or almost 7,000 dollar fine. Four years ago, Lepper, then deputy speaker of Parliament, claimed that three leading politicians from the Civic Platform and two politicians from the Democratic Left Alliance were on the payroll of gangsters and fraudulent businessmen. He also misinformed public opinion with revelations that the Afghan Thaleban landed in a small village in eastern Poland.
If we could enforce that here, we could weed out about 25-30 Democrat Senators immediately.
Lying seems to be part of the Democrat Platform., here these days....
Must be why they always have to have these "conferences"...to get their lies aligned.
