They say Putin is a "thug" and a "bully" who kills journalists. Liberals never used to mind Russian leaders killing journalists. Nor millions of scientists, writers, Christians, Jews, kulaks, Ukrainians, and the entire 1980 Soviet Olympic hockey team.

Liberals were cool with the show trials, the alliance with Hitler, the gulags, the forced starvations, the shooting down of American planes and goose-stepping through Eastern Europe.

We really could have used some of this fighting spirit about 50 years ago when the Soviet Union sought total world domination and Stalin's spies were crawling through the U.S. government. But back then, liberals were blackening the names of Whittaker Chambers, Richard Nixon and Sen. Joe McCarthy. (Later proved 100 percent correct by the top-secret Venona Project.)

OK class, how many Logical Fallacies can you count?

Holy Fucking Shit.

1. Yes. We love Stalin. We all love Stalin.

Knowing my mother's family, half of whom was forced to flee to the US and the other half who were deported to Siberia, I can tell you without equivocation that Stalin is my homeboy.

[Paula Sims]

4. My family's history also

Mother, Uncle, Grandmother, Grandfather set for the West after a knock on the door by the Stalinists getting them ready to be shipped to Siberia.

Father's family did a stint in Siberia and survived. Father managed to escape before either getting shot or shipped to Siberia

Yup - Uncle Joe was a BFF of my people - just after he starved over 10 million of them. . .

2. The WSJ, a Murdock rag, is very anti-trump today. So there's that.

3. My fear

He's the fall guy passes all the shit, takes blame and we end up with the real guy.

Mike pence...

[Squinch]

7. Yes. But I heard someone once describe it like this:

You have terminal cancer, and then you get into a car accident in which your femoral artery is cut.

You need to fix that femoral artery fast, and deal with the cancer after.

Pence is the cancer.

5. Didn't the 1980 soviet hockey team

All join the NHL?

[Elwood P Dowd]

8. Eventually many of them did.

Don't recall any of them being killed.

[Crunchy Frog]

6. Bull. Shit.

Liberals were always against those things. They just didn't think the best way to deal with them was through massive buildups of nuclear weapons, or turning our own country into a mirror image of the Soviet Union (McCarthyism).

Why does this idiot still have a platform? Why isn't she in a padded cell somewhere, howling at the moon?
