Alexander Vindman, the retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who helped plot the botched impeachment of former President Donald Trump in what amounted to a failed coup attempt, thinks Tucker Carlson should be “censured” for saying things Vindman doesn’t like about the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
(snip)responding to a trailer Carlson posted for his new documentary, “Patriot Purge,” Vindman asked, idiotically, “(snip) Carlson is attempting to incite a riotous mob. He should be censured. I’d like to hear the arguments for/against this being protected speech.”
(snip)the argument for Carlson’s documentary being protected speech is right there in the Bill of Rights,

Vindman is also confused about what “yelling fire in a crowded theater” means. People like Vindman always invoke the fire-in-a-crowded-theater line every time they want to justify censorship, and every time they reveal their bone-crushing ignorance.
The line comes from Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who in a 1919 opinion in Schenck v. United States wrote, “The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic.” But Schenck was one of the most loathsome free speech decisions in the court’s history, and it was overturned 50 years ago.
Davidson writes at length about Schenck and its eventual outcome.

Vindman, the CiC wannabe, and darling of the Deep State, has no clue about the Bill of Rights, and what they mean. The article correctly pointed out Vindman should have realized that "yelling fire in a crowded theater" is really protected free speech. But Vindman is a fool and he doesn't care, and he can't carry Tucker's water no matter how much he bloviates.

Be VERY careful, LT. They're coming for you next. If I were you, I find a hole and hide in it.

Pssst...When there IS a fire in a crowded Theater? The guy who lets every one know is a HERO.
Vindman triggered a sham-peachment by falsely yelling HIGH CRIME!!! Inciting a Riotous Mob that tried to Burn a President at the Stake.

I continue to be amazed at how many foreigners are in responsible positions in this country, and I include researchers, along with politics and military. There are 330 million AMERICANS to choose from.

WHEN Trump wins in 2024, one of the first things he needs to do is force this clown back on active duty and Court Marshal him...and he loses all time served, his retirement and goes to Prison for 30 years as a Traitor or is hanged or put before a firing squad.

Now that he's retired Vindman should look up Bowe Bergdahl.

Tucker is the last canary in the coal mine as he still takes on topics that Laura and even Sean won't touch. They got rid of O'Reilly and Dobbs and Tucker could be next. And they will lie about him if need be. Not that Tucker has practically no sponsors now.
Once he's off air, there is no need to watch Fox expect for Gutfeld at 11.

V'diddy was moved from his primary branch of infantry as a captain to his foreign area officer specialty even though he retained his infantry crossed rifles. That is, his assignments and promotions would be foreign area related and not because of any infantry proficiency or leadership skills. In a different time, this would be a sign that advancement to higher rank is extremely limited with those slots going to qualified combat arms types. However, V'diddy was selected to the Army War College which means he would be in line for promotion to full Col. The DC-centric Army establishment remained largely silent on V'diddy's actions and let him remain on schedule to go to Carlisle Barracks until the pressure was too much to bear. As we've found out more every day the Army and the military have been corrupted at the top, and that they hung on to this traitor to the very last minute speaks to their blatant political opposition to Trump and his supporters, and an apathetic if not downright sabotaging of our combat capability.

Vindeman showed in Congress up in his Dress Blues. When Ollie North appeared before congress in his standard USMC Uniform the left went nuts, I thought there were certain times that allowed for Dress Blue. Correct me if needed, but I thought he was a show boating clown

#3, Unfortunately, Vindman is not an LT; he is an LTC, which makes him capable of doing a lot more damage.
Idiocy is expected of an LT, but is also found among not only LTCs, but LTGs.

Uh, question from up here in the nosebleed section. Most of Davidson's paragraph on "imminent lawless action (or incitement)" clearly describes what the democrats were calling for for four straight years; and it still hasn't stopped. So when is someone going to start charging democrats for inciting imminent lawlessness?

If Vindman did not speak an obscure Eastern European language he would have been passed over twice for Major.

In the mid 60's, I was at a "Who" (or is it "The Who") concert in NYC at the Fillmore East when the concert was interrupted by a NYC Fire Marshall walking on stage , stopping the concert and telling us that there was "a problem" next door and that we had to leave. There was no panic and we all left in an orderly and non panicked fashion and as were leaving down a small alley way between the buildings, I had lucked out and was walking right next to Pete Townsend and Keith Moon. There was no panic and it sort of turned into a party and memory. As a drummer,.I was thrilled to be that close to Pete and Keith.

My Dad was career US Army Airborne ( The 11th Airborne,...."Hell's Angels") and Vindman is a "chicken poop wussy" (language corrected for the language police) compared to my dad.
The full dress uniform at the hearing was pomp and circumstance for show. Completely inappropriate and total BS.
Embarrassing. Vindman probably didn't even own or have a set of BDU's or "fatigues".

Vindman seems to know less about the United States Constitution than the average Russian. Same probably goes for his twin.
