Your opinion that he is a spy is unfounded Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2022 #17

I asked you to stop making (Nasty) personal attacks. And I never called him a "spy" (Nt) FreepFryer Mar 2022 #18

You implied it and put your toe over the line with "relationship with Russian military" Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2022 #22

I've pointed to facts. You've just pointed at me and been nasty. (Nt) FreepFryer Mar 2022 #25

5 years ago we knew what Russia and RT were doing to undermine our election and nation. FreepFryer Mar 2022 #21

Again you go with the spy accusation, calling him an "agent" with no evidence. Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2022 #24

What is your goal? You consistently for years now harangue about KPN Mar 2022 #65

Understanding sources of news is crucial. Hartmann's past is not fiction. RT is disinformation. (Nt) FreepFryer Mar 2022 #76

Understanding sources of news is important. Key word: understanding, not making stuff up KPN Mar 2022 #91

I just explained it. RT means he is no voice for my party. That opinion is my right to have. (Nt) FreepFryer Mar 2022 #99

You've still provided no evidence of what he has said and written Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2022 #103

That's not a purpose. You haven't explained anything. Seems like you simply want to KPN Mar 2022 #111

Again, you give no evidence, least of all current evidence from his writings / podcasts / books. nt Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2022 #33

No evidence? That's hilarious. I'm realizing now you're just naysaying. FreepFryer Mar 2022 #34

You are the naysayer wanting to cancel Hartmann. Ball in your court. You have no evidence Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2022 #39

"Cancel", eh? Hardly. Wow, that one is a classic right wing BS move. Thanks for the chuckle (Nt) FreepFryer Mar 2022 #41

Still you provide nothing he ever said or wrote. You have nothing. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2022 #42

As I told you in another thread, you dont get to demand actions of others. FreepFryer Mar 2022 #44

You feel you are privileged because you are demanding actions of others, but nobody else can Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2022 #50

Sanders is a liberal populist Democrat. You said populists can't be liberal or Democratic AND Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2022 #171
