............. Greens Adam Bandt calls General Jim Molan AO DSC "a coward" who should be prosecuted for war crimes.
................. Greens MP Adam Bandt has labelled new Liberal senator Jim Molan a “coward” and suggested he would be prosecuted as a war criminal if there was an independent inquiry into his conduct in Iraq.
Mr Bandt echoed the comments of Greens leader Richard Di Natale in criticising Senator Molan for sharing videos from racist group British First – but he made the accusations on Sky News rather than in the parliament which would have protected him from potential defamation.
“When you share white supremacist videos and then you justify it by saying, ‘I am doing it to stimulate debate’ .. you are a coward, you are a complete coward,” Mr Bandt said.
“At least own it, at least own your politics that you think white supremacist groups have something that you agree with and you want to share.”
Senator Molan, who was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and the American Legion of Merit for his service in Iraq, was the chief of operations for the US-led coalition forces from April 2004.
Mr Bandt said Senator Molan would be prosecuted if there was an independent inquiry into his role during the assault on Fallujah in 2004.
“If there was a proper inquiry, an independent inquiry into the war in Iraq in Australia, I think you would find that Jim Molan would be up for prosecution rather than praise for his role in the atrocities in Fallujah,” he said.
Senator Di Natale used parliamentary privilege yesterday to accuse Senator Molan of overseeing a “humanitarian catastrophe”. ........

While no side is perfect or infallible, the left are a lot more immature about it. They are akin to children who chuck tantrums when they can't get their own way. They chuck hissyfits when they read/hear something that goes against their politically correct doctrine. They personally attack people and believe it's justified because they're on the "good" side.

I don't even know why the Greens bother. They're an absolute joke.

I have been on the end of that attitude from a friend of 25 years.
I disagreed with his beliefs, e now no longer talks to me. It's very hurtful and cultlike

I wish there was a party I could vote for who actually cared for the environment.
