Obama doesn’t even pay his trolls.

Working already. I see plenty of posts citing Russia Today here on FR. Why would conservatives look for ideological support from Putin’s propaganda network?

For some people America equals Obama, so if we are against Obama then we should be against America and support America’s enemies. These people are known as “traitors.”

He doesn’t have to. They come out of the woodwork to support pet causes like special rights for gays. And they are bribed with other people’s money like ObaMaoPhones.

I suspect that such trolls also find their way to this site when Russia or Putin are in the cross hairs.

Putin's media will at least criticize the Politboro once in awhile. ObaMao's media won't.

Our local Putinists are not paid. They happily give their virtue away for free in support of murdering KGB filth.

I’m surprised one of our Russian trolls hasn’t come along to denounce this as a lie against their buddy Putin.

Russia Today was banned here due to the work of the Kremlin bots. But that doesn’t stop those parrots from reciting the Kremlin talking point of the day. Now they just do a word for word recital. Not an original thought to be found in their empty heads.

So you are on this thread to defend Putin and his media?

Who’s to say Russia doesn’t have valid talking points worthy of serious discussion?

It seems that one could make 135 comments in less than 12 hours. I know some FReepers could.

Nope. Just to point out the similarity between his and ours. Not a huge difference.

How many millions has the New York Times lost? What difference has it made in them being a cheerleader for the left? The money to cover those losses comes from somewhere. And they obviously see those losses as a price of doing business in peddling their lies. Not much different than Putin, really.

Although I recognize intellectually that it must happen from time to time, it distresses me to think that any American on this forum would be a bootlicker for the Kremlin.

There is a huge difference, but the question is why on a thread about our enemy Putin and Russia and them manipulating Americans into turning against nation and supporting Russian military goals against us, you guys always jump in to divert to a thread into being against the United States instead?

Yes, it is quite sad that some call themselves conservatives and live in freedom yet choose to support mass murdering KGB thugs.

I accept useful idiots on the left but true conservatives should know better.
