pose the same threat to all of us. Nationalistic movements have one common ingredient--hatred of others.

- So that includes yourself, right? (Rhetorical)



Funny, I hadn't heard that Putin murdered any mommies and babies with drones yet......

Not. Jeez, Putin defenders are shameless.
More info for lurkers:



In an astounding claim, the Russian government yesterday defended a neo-Nazi group for orchestrating nearly 1,500 mostly-anti-gay kidnappings across Russia in the past 18 months.

By some estimates, 24 million Russians lost their lives to the Nazis in World War II.

The Russians, angered over a British television documentary exposing a nationwide anti-gay kidnapping ring, then denied that the neo-Nazi abductions had occurred at all, claiming that there is no proof of the crimes, even though the abductors filmed their crimes and posted them widely on Russian social media network VK.com and YouTube.

And the videos, at least on VK, but some on YouTube as well, can still be found online.

about hate filled right wing nationalist in America.
We got em too you know...you can see them wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross all the time...some of them carry a flag of the country we was at war with 150 years ago.
Talk about needing to get the log out of your eye first.

Doesn't defending Putin even make you just a little queasy?

And I hate the hypocrisy of it most of all...that and the demonetization of other countries for propaganda purposes.

But we are pals with Saudi Arabia and the mid east countries who not only kill gay people in public executions but oppress women worse than any modern day country, but we remain silent because they have oil we need.
If you want shame and hypocrisy there you have it.
And we have our share of fascist groups right here in America...and they are allowed to operate openly with no actions from our governemnt...see the Bundy Ranch...those fascist are still walking the streets even though they set up sniper positions on law inforcement...and at the same time cops are gunning down black men in the streets and getting away with it.

Excuse me while I puke from blatant hypocritical bullshit.
