I too recently posted over there (I know, I know, I said I quit...weak).

Excerpt:

LOL, as opposed to the paragon of human rights that is the U.S.?

So quick to condemn Putin/Russia (they are equivalent in the minds here), that both need to be put down and directly opposed by state, rather than a working relationship, because EVIL.

Putin kills journalists, Putin oppresses dissent, so we must combat him directly.

Unlike hundreds of millions in our country that will say the very same thing about Obama and Bush, spanning similar decades as Putin’s rule.

Didn’t the U.S. oppress and violently squelch OWS peaceful protests, with beatdowns in disparate cities, across the nation? Didn’t the U.S. oppress the peaceful Democracy Spring protesters, by arresting hundreds of them for simply congregating? Didn’t several journalists get arrested for simply reporting DAPL? Didn’t one get shot for no reason, simply standing and interviewing. Didn’t hundreds of ‘dissenters’ get pummeled with tear gas, bear mace, firehoses, sonic cannons, rubber bullets?

So how does it come to be that Obama’s oppression is given an automatic pass, declared unbelievable, rationalized away, yet all stories of Putin are believable and he is always culpable?

The truth is that everything you blame Putin and Russia may/may not be 100% true, but every accusation thrown that way is exactly true here in the U.S. I suggest you should have been fixing/fixating on that, rather than worrying about any Russian faults.

Response:

Bit too much RT television, I see. Okee-dokey.

It is just not worth it anymore...the stupid and blindness is just too strong. There is no way around/through their brain muck that I can discern.

that "Russian propagandaist machine" was in so many of the comments -
what has happened to that place?
Haven't read anything there in months - it has gone totally bonkers!!!!

It's sad to see so many people fall for it.
I've mentioned before that many of us joined DK because of the Iraq war and the other things that the republicans were doing, but once Obama continued doing the same things in the Middle East and elsewhere, many of the people on the site went silent.
Anyone writing about it were told to stfu because it made Obama look bad.
His use of drones? They are okay because they save American lives. It didn't matter that those countries hadn't threatened the USA or that he didn't have authorization to use them.
Libya war? No problem.
Syrian war? Same thing.
Now in your diary over there I saw a few people defending the USA and NATO buildup.
Greenwald and Assange used to be great journalists when it was against Bush, but they won't hear anything bad said about Obama when he did the same things that they hated when Bush did them.
Jumped the shark? Hell they've jumped more than one.
I wonder if we will hear that Putin is throwing babies out of incubators too.

When I questioned whether Booman was serious about Trump having his followers makie death threats to opponents. I don't doubt that random idiots are making death threats but that they are orchestrated by trump? I'd like to see the evidence other than WaPo (a known DNC front) citing unnamed CIA agents.

But just questioning it got me labeled as a Trump supporter and a Russian Agent.

NEVER going to vote (D) again. I voted for Tammy Duckworth in a tit for tat and I voted for my local Dems, but the debt is paid. If they want my votes in the future they will have to run as (I) or (G) or (XYZ) but never again as (D).

...a few beers and Taco Bell tacos--hey it is all I can afford right now.

They go pretty well with beer

Surely you know this. You're like the go-to guy for this.

Yes, they held massive nuclear drills in October - before the election.

My millennial daughter told me about it. Of course, it can only be found on fake news sites. (Not even going to use quotes, as it's a waste of effort, like a snark tag.)

Third time to try to post. Hoping for the charm. Otherwise, fuck it!

becomes a tool of Putin? Just kidding but damn, to see them twist themselves around that knot might be fun to watch. For about 5 seconds....

I agree with Cronewit that he's appearing to substantiate it, my very first thought upon seeing that today.

fake stories as well. Mountains of them in fact.

Thank you for posting this, LaFem. I needed a cartoon laugh at the ridiculousness of this all.

Just a reminder to all. If elections can be hacked and rigged, perhaps the real problem is our reliance upon computer tabulations based upon proprietary software?

Of course the Dems prefer to demonize the Russians instead of actually examining themselves for this eleciton defeat, but we should look closely at how the Dems have adopted Rovian techniques of accusing others of what they themselves probably are doing.

I think the fact that Hillary lost was what switched it back since it put Comey on the blame list there.
