At his daily briefing, White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the administration is “disappointed by the Pussy Riot verdict. While we understand the group’s behavior was offensive for some, we have concerns about the way these young women were treated by the Russian judicial system.”

Is this the same guy who wants the TEA party and Republicans to just get out of the way?

While we understand the group’s behavior was offensive for some . . .

And that particular "some" does not count because they are . . . ugh! . . . Christians that the saintly Commies failed to Gulag out of existence.

Maybe they can plead it down to Pussy Disorderly Conduct.

I’m in rare agreement with Barak Obama. If there is a silver lining to this, it’s that these three girls have exposed to the world that Putin’s Russia IS the Soviet Union.

If ya want a show trial now, ya need to go to court in America.

Let's wait for George Zimmerman's trial. Regardless of the outcome Putin will be able to announce that the court in Florida was wrong and the rights of GZ (or TM) were violated.

I personally think Obama only heard the first word PUSSY and did not wait for the entire sentence. He just wanted to be involved with the gang

Leftists in a pussy riot, raiding a church, is against the law in post communist Russia. That was how the communists acted towards religious freedom. They mass murdered and oppressed religious people and burned down their churches.

You got your history a tad spun there, Melas. LOL Your leftist history revision aside, Putin is still a putz.

“I’m in rare agreement with Barak Obama. “

They were convicted for desecrating a church. Obuma approves.

Do you really want to agree with Buckwheat?

Performing music without an invitation is trespassing at best. It hardly rises to the level of desecration. These girls are going to do prison time for publicly voicing anti Putin sentiments and nothing more.

They appear to be radical anarchist homosexuals wanting to force gay marriage on the Russian people through acts of vandalism against private property owners.

Weird. Obama and the libs and pretty much everyone would be outraged over vandalism of a mosque or black church in the US. The Southern Poverty Law Center and White House would call it a hate crime and demand justice. But when some anarcho-lesbo-libs do the same thing to a privately rebuilt Christian Church in Russia they rush to defend the vandals for the hate crime.

Meanwhile, Obama's merry band of Muslim Brotherhood boys are crucifying opponents of their president on handy dandy trees around Cairo and he cannot spare a moment to criticize them.

So you're OK with "those girls" violating the religious liberty of the churchgoers by disrupting church services, and violating the property rights of everyone whose property they invade and vandalize, be it the church or a McDonalds restaurant?

As if they couldn't just plop a soapbox down outside the church or on their own front porch and vocalize their opinions without violating other people's rights in the process?

They broke through a barrier to get to the altar. Not to mention the church isn't their property and they had no right to be there in the first place if they were not there as part of the congregation and with the consent of the congregation.

They don't deserve anyone's support no matter the sentence.

[Just reposting your comments and links below so that others can evaluate the article with the additional information]:

Pussy riot is a feminist wing of a neo-bolshevik group “Vojna” aka “War”. Their activity is centered against a church and law-enforcement.

Another their acts are “Dick in the ass” punk performance in a courtroom, “mentopop” performance which was about robbing a supermarket wearing a mix of police uniform and a priest’s dress, burnind down one and turning upside down another police vehicle, a series of sexual assaults on police women in subways etc.

In fact some of their “comrades” were on trial for these things before, that is there this “Dick in the ass” performance from.

You can see all these faces..
“Mordovian hour” performance on May, 1 2008 (throwing stray cats into McDonald’s kitchen to feed animals with decadent food and make low-paid workforce celebrate Labor day as they claim it):

Attacks on police cadets:

Note the song in Yiddish in background. It is a Jewish bolshevik song from October revolution, which is roughly about “!@#$ the police”. AFAIK one of performers was finally shot in process.

Mentopop:

A “screw the feds” prank on KGB agent:

Burning up a police truck:

Another police vehicle destroyed:

And that is their promo video:

I’m not including public orgies, sex with a frozen chicken in store etc.....

Wonder if these anarchists receive support from Soros' Open society Institute or other such front group?

The Occupy Walstreet hoodlums weren't gressroots, either.

>>>>>these anarchists receive support from Soros’ Open society>>>>>>

If you want an answer just open a last link in a post (their promo video) and listen a song from about 1:00 (at a place they are throwing a cat at McD).

Make no mistake this wasn’t an attack on religion. The Russian Orthodox Church is now about as much about Christianity as the Landeskirchen was during Hitler’s rise to power. Any true Christian would be appalled at what’s going on with the Russian Church. Patriarch Krill didn’t move into the Kremlin to influence Russian government. Krill has moved into the Kremlin because the ROC has been bought and paid for by Putin. I applaud the courage of these young girls to publicly protest Putin’s corruption of the church.

Mark my words: You’ll most likely live to see Putin’s power rise to dictatorial levels in Russia.
