Putin Says Soviet History Less Bleak than U.S. History

June 28, 2007

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the history of the Soviet Union has had fewer black pages than the US. “Sure, we had purges, gulags, liquidation of the Kulaks, enforced starvation in the Ukraine, the pact with Hitler that started World War II, the Katyn Forest massacre, the attempt to assassinate the pope, the repression of Eastern Europe, suppression of freedom and impoverishment of the Russian people, the bankrolling of criminal lunatics like Mao, Pol Pot and Castro, and aid to terrorists, among other things” Putin admitted while pausing for breath. “But these offenses pale in comparison to those committed by America over this same time period.”

The list of worse offenses cited by Putin was headed by what he called “the American assault on good taste.” “The Americans have saturated the media with trash,” Putin complained. “The news cycle is polluted with repeated stories about morons like Paris Hilton and Tom Cruise. Theaters are infested with idiotic and pornographic films. Rap has dragged music to the depths of depravity. Communism may have taken millions of people’s lives, but American culture is taking billions of people’s souls. I ask you, which is the greater crime?”

Putin is a lunatic if he places Tom Cruise, Paris Hilton, or even the sleaziest Hollywood producer and mogul on a level of moral comparability with Joseph Stalin and other Soviet mass murderers.

Please! Would someone take the bong out of Putin’s hands, now!

The lil commie is attempting to compare the destroying or torturing of some 100,000,000 people with what rap music does to the souls of those listening to it.

Hopefully, he is high. If not, then he is just the usual lying commie.
