Some, I’m sure, are very fine peopleby digby
Only two ther countries agree with them:
The United States says it was one of three countries to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning the glorification of Nazism over freedom of speech issues and concerns that Russia was using it to carry out political attacks against its neighbors.
The resolution entitled “Combating glorification of Nazism, Neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance,” was approved by the U.N.’s human rights committee on Friday with 131 in favor, 3 against with 48 abstentions.
Ukraine and Palau were the other no votes.
Apparently, the Obama administration also voted against this resolution in the name of free speech. Of course when they did that Nazis weren’t marching with torches in the streets of America shouting “Jews will not replace us” and the president wasn’t calling them “fine people” who were just trying to preserve their heritage and threatening to shut down the free press.
So, you know, things are different now.
