Is this “critic” critical of Putin’s opposition to the homosexual agenda?

There are other reasons besides being a fag to oppose Putin. Free people have other interests besides sodomy. Only Putin and his fans would equate the pursuit of liberty with being a homo.

Yep, that sounds right, you have to get that Initial Meme out there in Peoples Minds, who cares if its wrong or not or you have to post a retraction or correction later.

You spread false stories and you get that to be the standard by which the low information crowd judges their news.

Like all those fake quotes by Sarah, such as "the Malaysian Airliner flew too close to heaven and landed there."

Who cares if it is a lie or libel, you gotta pound that "Sarah Palin is stupid" meme into peoples heads.

Russia understands this for their issues better than anyone.

If FB “cooperates” with the Russian government on this, imagine the information they are willingly feeding to the US regime...

I realize this, I’m suggesting that Facebook would support him if it was someone from that activist agenda.
