Did I just hear Rachel Maddow correctly?

[Catmusicfan]

One tactic was to for Russia to a line itself with NRA members so it basically use that connection to gain support of republican party?

[VigilantG]

1. Yes

[chillfactor]

2. yes you heard correctly.

sick as that is.

[applegrove]

3. Corrupt Russians obviously see the GOP as birds of a feather. And the

right always said the danger from Russia was on the left.

[Best_man23]

4. Yes you did

Michael Carpenter's description of the Russian NGO Right to Bear Arms as a "honeypot" is pretty telling.

Wonder how many Ammosexual NRA types got their info lifted by this "honeypot."

[jrthin]

5. Yes you did! nt

[DonViejo]

6. Yes, you heard correctly...

But, not just the NRA; right wing orgs in general. It immediately crossed my mind; Evangelicals, too.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Yes. Putin doesn't like the idea of Russian citizens carrying guns

so his views on guns are pretty much opposite those of the NRA. But Russian agents have cozied up to NRA members to establish another way of getting close to US conservatives.

[Catmusicfan]

8. O M G

This this frightening as hell.

[spanone]

9. russia knows their audience....

[Gabi Hayes]

10. "0n Assignment" had a seg on that

Last wk in Tenn

Chck MSNBC site....great piece

"On Assignment"

[FailureToCommunicate]

21. That piece was pretty scary, especially in light of the Russian attemps to lure NRA types to

do their bidding...using their supposed mutual 'right to bear arms' bear crap.

Here's the segment:

28. Did you like the trump family Russian dolls

On that Tennessee shmuck's shelf?

Pretty much said it all......

[FailureToCommunicate]

31. Just when you think things can't get any creepier...

(Trump family Russian dolls)

[Gabi Hayes]

34. YES!

How dimly did That guy present himself?

What sorts of idiots does he scam to make his fat wad?

Hard to find somebody more feebleminded than he

[ariadne0614]

38. Call me paranoid, but . . .

it made my blood run cold to learn that Putin operatives may have infiltrated the NRA, right wing militia groups, and "End Times" Christian extremist organizations. Could they be lying in wait with itchy trigger fingers, for Putin's orders to unleash death and chaos?

[FailureToCommunicate]

39. If you tried to sell that nightmare vision as a movie plot, no one would believe it.

But nowadays, maybe they just might.

[Hieronymus]

11. Yes, I'd heard that before and

saw NRA Far Right Winger's praising Putin. Reagan, their God, would roll in his grave.

[bdamomma]

12. Well how long

"when the time is right" before Vlad makes his appearance in the Oval office. Great news isn't it???? I wonder if he will address the Congress???

[Squinch]

13. Who's surprised? Not me!

[H2O Man]

14. Yep.

Recommended.

[Solly Mack]

15. K&R

[Lisa0825]

16. I missed Rachel tonight - my lineup says she wasn't on. WTF?

My guide says in her place was Richard Engel: On Assignment.

[Ilsa]

19. She was on. Engel was on instead of Lawrence.

Rachel gave us tonight's line-up late in Thursday's show.

The guide on directv was wrong yesterday, but correct tonight.

[Lisa0825]

27. Maybe it was different in different time zones or different services.

She wasn't listed in my TiVo guide, and when I flipped to the channel during her time slot, it was Richard Engel.

[Catmusicfan]

30. She will be on again at midnight watching again.

[Lisa0825]

33. Not until 5am here. i'm a night owl, but I can't stay up that long! LOL nt

[onecaliberal]

17. You sure did

[tiptonic]

18. The russians are coming

The russians are not coming. They're already in the Whitehouse.

[fleabiscuit]

36. 10-4 nt

[turbinetree]

20. Maybe its time to do a federal and state audit in a court room

to see if they are getting "donations" under the 501 (c) and 504 (c)


I hate the f*cking NRA.....................b*stards...........

[certainot]

22. not the nra - limbaugh and talk radio - trump studied it

according to sam nunberg - telling gabriel sherman for new york magazine 4/3/16 that he listened to 1000s of hours of it and reported to trump

most of the russian trolling vs hillary piggybacked 25 years of talk radio

limbaugh's probably getting cyprus money

[Still In Wisconsin]

32. Makes sense... most if not all of the Putin inner circle are ex-Soviet KGB.

They know an effective propaganda operation when they see one!

[certainot]

37. our MIC 'successfully' used it to sell the iraq war

but i think the russans probably figured out how to horn in after it was proven to be a disaster and bush lost the white house

breitbart took over from drudge as a feed source for limbaugh and sons etc

[Honeycombe8]

23. They've been played like fools by a foreign adversary. nt

[FailureToCommunicate]

24. Link to the MSNBC segment on Russia loving NRA right wingers

[BainsBane]

25. Interesting

However, it should be noted that that it is not only Republicans who align themselves with NRA goals. Once a position of only the most conservative Democrats, opposition to waiting periods and immunity for gun corporations and those who traffic in guns is now passed off as a "progressive" position.

[AgadorSparticus]

26. Oh wow....

[nikibatts]

29. Why is that a surprise? The NRA hates the US as much as Russia.

[kentuck]

35. The patriots themselves bamboozled by the Russians?

Who'd a thunk it!
