Title: It's Not Just Teabaggers Who Love Pootin! Post by: Howey on March 07, 2014, 12:34:46 pm Get ready for the right's newest hero (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/07/assad-putin-crimea_n_4919006.html?1394205184&ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009)!
Quote Syrian President Bashar Assad says Russia's military takeover of Crimea reflects President Vladimir Putin's "wise policy" and his efforts to restore "security and stability" in Ukraine after an "attempted coup." In a letter addressed to the Russian president, Assad claims Putin's move in eastern Ukraine prevented "terrorist extremists" from taking power in Kiev. Assad's comments — his first since the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis last month — were carried by the Syrian state news service late on Thursday. Russia has been an adamant supporter of Assad through the 3-year-old conflict that started as a largely peaceful uprising against his rule but turned into a civil war that has claimed at least 140,000 lives.

Matters as fact I bet someone like Luntz is working on how to make that happen with his word smithing. I wonder how far and wild it will have to get before they're all like, "Wait the fuck a minute...did we just say Hitler had his shit together to contrast our loathing of President Obama?" |
