Putin’s Man in Congress

I was surprised to see this posted as well.  Some choice excerpts:

"The nonsense that Ukraine is filled with Nazis has been part of a propaganda meme pumped through Russia’s state-controlled media for more than a year. Russia is trying to create the fiction that Ukraine is beset by Nazis and Islamic terrorists, thus necessitating Russian military intervention. If the idea actually takes hold in the United States, it could also cripple whatever support Ukraine is receiving. Ukraine’s volunteer battalions are slowly coming under the tent of the Ukrainian government, after having been born as private units in the chaos of Yanukovych’s abdication, Russia’s invasion and Russian-created dysfunction at Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense (Yanukovych’s defense minister was actually a Russian citizen)."  ...  "An aggressive PR defense would have been helpful when a couple of their soldiers allegedly sported swastika or SS patches, and it would have helped to counter Russia’s smothering propaganda campaign aimed at convincing people that the Azov’s emblem is a Nazi “Wolfsangel“ (it’s not, it an “N” and an “I” transposed over one another — the resemblance is merely coincidental). As a result, they have some PR spade work to do. But let’s be clear: We’re talking about a unit at war, not a daycare."

John Conyers (also accused of sexually harrassing his staff):

" He co-founded the Congressional Black Caucus in 1969 and established a reputation as one of the most liberal members of Congress. Conyers joined the liberal Congressional Progressive Caucus after it was founded in 1991. Conyers supports the creation of a single-payer healthcare system and sponsored the United States National Health Care Act to achieve that goal. He also sponsored a bill to establish Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a federal holiday."

The author of this article:

"Kristofer Harrison was a Defense and State Department advisor during the George W. Bush administration. He is currently a partner at Political Alpha and a co-founder of the China Beige Book."

I like that the fellow who thinks "Putin pays people" is named McCarthy.   History has a sense of humor.

But the rubes and russophobes don't. Which is why you've just been wised-up -'Putin's man' HAS to be a Republican not a Democrat. Study your WaPo or 'patrobotics' better or you're off the team Mobo2000!

I didn't expect him to look so doughy.  This guy is seriously a secret operative??
