Wingnuts Embrace KGB
by Pamela LeaveyThe wingnuts are in the midst of a full fledged embrace of a former KGB agent in attempt to push their disinformation campaign on John Kerry once again, while holding up the meme that dissent is bad for our country. I honestly wouldn’t even note it, if it wasn’t rather absurd that the regurgitated mutterings of a defected KGB agent (from 2004) are being quoted all over the wingnut blogs like an outbreak of rabies.
Comments From Left Field nails it:
This stuff is so outlandish isn’t it? Kerry must be full of shit.
Of course it’s not everyday that the wingnuts embrace the KGB… they only do when it’s convenient. Otherwise they are too busy decrying the commie pinkos. It is really “simply (and profoundly) un-American,” as Steve Benen notes to “stifle dissent and glorify a leader without cause,” as the WSJ and Ion Mihair Pacepa are attempting.

The wingnuts are on a tirade as of late. Smear and smear again. The nuts are in full stupid mode now, and they seem hell bent on going after anyone and everyone. The animal is backed into a corner now, and this is what you get. Attack! You can bet your ass that they are still afraid of Kerry getting back into the game. The last thing they want is for him to jump in and stir the waters. He almost unseated a sitting war time president. That in itself is reason for them to worry. He almost did what no other ever did!
Thanks for the insight Donnie, because I’m lost in this one without it. Like everyone at the time, I knew guys in the Nam. My brother went. Their stories are first hand, and they didn’t get them from JK. They just all say the same things. Further, the entire recorded history of human war tells a similar tell.
What the hell are these freaks carrying on about? Somebody says something in 2004 that may or may not explain what someone else said factually accurately more than 30 years before, and they can’t stop having wet dreams over it. This is far stranger, and of considerable less interest, than any fiction I have ever read. If this kind of imaginery excitement made it on the radar screen of memorable events in my life I’d shoot myself out of self pity.

I could not have said that better myself! Thank you.
