Maher: Vance Made a Good Point About Europe’s Free Speech Problems
Breitbart ^ | 03/01/2025 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 03/01/2025 7:34:39 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that he believed Vice President JD Vance was correct in his criticisms of European speech laws during a recent speech.

Maher said, “JD Vance…the other week, made a speech, in Munich. A lot of people were shocked by it. I thought half of it was pretty shocking because it was about this election that they just had in Germany where there is a party on the ballot that is very Nazi-friendly.”

He continued, “But the first part of the speech was about free speech, that I didn’t think he was so wrong about. Especially since I had just seen the ‘60 Minutes‘ report…about how they handle free speech in Germany. Wow. This is not the only country where the pendulum doesn’t land in the middle. Apparently, Germany is so afraid to look like their Nazi past that they’re literally knocking on people’s doors and taking their phones and their computers if you just insult people online. They brought up this example of ‘pimmel’, it means ‘cock’ in German. You can’t call people a dick? I’d be in jail ten times a week.”

The AfD have nothing to do with Nazis. In the EU any mention of putting your country/citizens over the welfare of the invading muzzie filth, you are called a Nazi and imprisoned. It’s projection by the real nazis.

and in the USA if anyone flies the US flag, speaks well of the US Constitution, puts hand over heart when the flag passes by, or taps is played and is patriotic; is labeled “far-right.”

where there is a party on the ballot that is very Nazi-friendly.

Maher still has to genuflect in front of the stupid MSM and EU leftist narrative.

Keep moving towards the light, Bill. You’re getting there, but you still have a way to go.

Nazis and islam are very much alike. During Hitler’s time the muslims were very tight with him. They even provided SS troops for him.

Somehow Germans cannot move on from the ghost of Hitler, while Italy has already moved on by letting Mussolinni’s granddaughter to run and won parliament seats in Italy and Europe.

Yeah, moron, water is also wet.
Many times he goes on “air” and says something out of date but reasonable. He gets lauded by non-commies.
Like a whore occasionally manages to earn her money.

The woman who leads the AfD describes herself and her party as “Libertarian”, and in the interviews I’ve seen she does talk the talk. Lower taxes, enforceable borders free speech, and a break from the unelected autocrats in Brussels. Haven’t heard anything from her that smacks of National Socialism. Perhaps I missed it, or Maher still doesn’t understand who the real Nazis are.

Europe should be cut off until and unless they reform. They are just another untrustworthy collectivist cabal with no military, no guts, and no functioning brains. Europe is being slowly swallowed whole by Islam and its days are numbered.

The AfD is libertarian with the exception they want strong border controls, and an end to immigration. They definitely are not nazi.

True, we cannot tell the difference between the Europeans and the Russians with both of them projecting onto everyone else their own worst natures.

They are all authoritarian arseholes who won’t leave each other alone.
