One could conceivably make a case that the Times is in fact guilty of some double standards:
Ukrainian soldiers who wear patches with images they claim to associate with their country’s history and honor are given more benefit of the doubt than American Southerners who make the same claims about displaying the Confederate flag.
But one would think that Breitbart and Ingraham—and Greenwald, given the current rightward tilt of his cultural sympathies—would endorse the view that a Stars-and-Bars bumper sticker or baseball cap does not necessarily mark a person as a white supremacist.
Instead, they seem to endorse an opposite double standard: Americans attacked for displaying controversial symbols widely linked to hate are victims of left-wing intolerance, but the Ukrainian soldiers wearing such symbols in Ukraine are “real-deal Nazis.”
