Your Liberal Projection™ has gotten the better of you. You denounce as smears the same sort of tactics and logical fallacies that you accuse others of employing. I can't help but notice that you (by your judgement) are the only one on this thread (or perhaps the whole site?!) that doesn't have a "fifth grade emotional attachment to certain figures...". Is it true that everyone is wrong except you? I doubt it.

Personally I think you would do well to stop gazing into a mirror and try reading something other than neo-confederate agitprop.

I have provided far more source material than anyone else. You seem to believe your position is validated by group think. You can probably find a large group of older people in Russia who still believe the wonderful things they were taught about Stalin and who feel threatened by anyone who points out that the real Stalin (or Lenin) wasn’t exactly what they were taught.
