Thank you. Autumn Mar 2015 #93

Explain the 'democracy building' we are doing in Ukraine for all that money. We did the same thing sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #141

The bottom line here is that Pilger lied regarding the $5 billion figure, and you can't escape that. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #149

He did not lie, no matter how often you repeat that. Octafish Mar 2015 #163

Okay. I'll ask you again. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #164

Why smear me? Nothing to say about Fascism in the USA? I'd add, 'Huh?' but, you know. Octafish Mar 2015 #10

John Pilger isn't the be-all, end-all to anti-fascism. NuclearDem Mar 2015 #22

Pilger's against the fascists that he wants to be against. But he's okay with the other fascists. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #27

Just keep telling the truth Octafish. A lot of people hate freedom of the press. sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #38

Yes, calling an asshole an asshole is hating freedom of the press. NuclearDem Mar 2015 #45

For some strange reason bringing up the BFEE or PNAC makes the gatekeepers in GD Rex Mar 2015 #24

I've noticed that also. And wonder why anyone here would be upset about the truth sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #40

The reason goes back asking Poppy Bush: why he was in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963? Octafish Mar 2015 #73

Why didn't he report that earlier? That's a good question. I can think of a few reasons why sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #101

That's a smear. Show where I lied. Octafish Mar 2015 #15

You posted Pilger's documentable lies. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #17

So, you can't find where I lied. That's different, isn't it? That's called a smear. Octafish Mar 2015 #20

I never said you personally lied. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #21

If they're documentable lies, then by all means DOCUMENT THEM with some links. Maedhros Mar 2015 #35

Ukraines new leader put himself in the role of dictator as soon as he was elected. Rex Mar 2015 #39

Ahem. Post 53. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #54

You know, I thought you'd never ask. Just a few examples. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #53

So Virginia Nuland was the one lying then, and Pilger was merely giving her credit for telling the sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #55

Regardless of what "Virginia" Nuland said, the issue has been researched and Pilger's lying. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #58

So neocon, Virginia Nuland lied? Someone is lying, that's for sure, and generally speaking when a sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #61

As far as I know, "Virginia" Nuland appears to be correct in her assertion. Pilger is lying. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #63

Virginia Nuland is a neocon, married to a neocon. I despise Neocons. They lie, they lied us into a sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #67

Why are you talking about "Virginia" Nuland? We're talking about John Pilger lying. Read his quote. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #70

Nuland's Husband is Robert Kagan, an architect of PNAC Octafish Mar 2015 #75

That's lovely. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #76

It is precisely the point. You argue relentlessly that Pilger is a liar, Tommy_Carcetti. Octafish Mar 2015 #79

Are you admitting that Pilger lied when he claimed Obama spent $5 billion on a "coup" in Ukraine? Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #84

We don't know, do we? It's classified Top Secret. Along with a lot more information we should know. Octafish Mar 2015 #89

Like Area 51 and Tower 7, right? Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #91

No, like in a Democracy, We the People are the government. Octafish Mar 2015 #102

Supporting Mr. Kagan are Richard Perle and Adnan Khashoggi... Octafish Mar 2015 #94

It's a strange feeling, we now are supposed to cheer the Big Lie. Octafish Mar 2015 #104

I agree with that. Virginia, yes there is a Santa Claus, Nuland's involvement in the pre-coup is sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #209

You just keep on making my point for me. NuclearDem Mar 2015 #210

That's a nice thing to do. zappaman Mar 2015 #211

Considering you again have refused to at least acknowledge the facts I just stated, you sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #212

Acknowledge what? That Nuland discussed who the US would want in charge? NuclearDem Mar 2015 #213

And coincidentally, she got what she wanted. And even considered what to do about the Neo Nazis sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #260

sabrina 1 is TOPS! Octafish Mar 2015 #215

I'm glad you brought that up.. 'Things May Have Gotten Worse in Ukraine for the LGBT Community' sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #258

And you're getting this impression that LGBT allies don't care about the Ukrainian LGBT community... NuclearDem Mar 2015 #263

Stop it! I did not try to use this issue, I responded to Zappaman's attempt to use it. Do NOT sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #269

Oh, you want to play this game? Because I will. NuclearDem Mar 2015 #272

Oops. zappaman Mar 2015 #278

You support Ukraine, a nation where 80% of the population opposes Gay Rights. sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #292

Why the constant need to smear fellow DUers, NuclearDem? Octafish Mar 2015 #219

Why the constant need to stab the LGBT community in the back? NuclearDem Mar 2015 #220

Show where I've done that, otherwise it's another smear, NuclearDem. Octafish Mar 2015 #221

How about continually posting the writings of homophobic, anti-Semites? zappaman Mar 2015 #224

When all you have are insults, you've got nothing zappaman. Octafish Mar 2015 #227

When all you have it deflection, we can figure out the truth. zappaman Mar 2015 #261

No, I posted what Pilger wrote about Fascism. Octafish Mar 2015 #264

Now you're pretending not to know you posted an anti-Semite AGAIN on DU? zappaman Mar 2015 #267

I thought I told you what I told SidDithers of DU, zappaman? Octafish Mar 2015 #271

I like how you pretend Madsen and Roberts aren't homophobic anti-Semites. zappaman Mar 2015 #276

I find it telling how when I ask you to provide proof, you don't. Octafish Mar 2015 #315

Every single time you make excuses for that fascist fuck in the Kremlin. NuclearDem Mar 2015 #226

Tag Team is so you, NuclearDem. Octafish Mar 2015 #232

Same with you and homophobic bullshit. NuclearDem Mar 2015 #234

Criticizing a professional debunker is not homophobic. Amazing Randi is undemocratic. Octafish Mar 2015 #235

Science and reality aren't democratic. You don't get to vote on what's true or not. NuclearDem Mar 2015 #236

Amazing Randi smeared Rupert Sheldrake. Amazing Randi broke US immigration law. Octafish Mar 2015 #238

Once again, you are treading on some thin fucking ice. NuclearDem Mar 2015 #240

Nice smear. Show where I supported any of that. Octafish Mar 2015 #246

You shamed Randi for lying to immigration about Alvarez. NuclearDem Mar 2015 #248

No shaming, other than the facts in the articles. Octafish Mar 2015 #250

I'm done here. NuclearDem Mar 2015 #251

That is a smear, zappaman. Octafish Mar 2015 #266

Would you like links to all the homophobes and anti-Semites you promote on DU? zappaman Mar 2015 #268

Why smear me over what Mearsheimer wrote? Take it out on him. That's the Fascist thing to do. Octafish Mar 2015 #277

Yes, it's democratic to defend anti-semitism according to you. zappaman Mar 2015 #279

Repeatedly misstating what I write is a propagandist's technique. Octafish Mar 2015 #311

Hey, you're the one who called a banned anti-Semite troll a "great DUer" zappaman Mar 2015 #312

Misrepresentation is the mark of a propagandist. Octafish Mar 2015 #313

What do you call someone who denies their own words, Octafish of DU? zappaman Mar 2015 #316

Why can't you prove what you say? You say I'm a horrible person, zappaman. Octafish Mar 2015 #317

You don't know who John Mearsheimer is, do you? Octafish Mar 2015 #129

Posting writings from anti-semites again, Octafish of DU? zappaman Mar 2015 #133

Except you don't show he's any of that. So, all you got is a smear, zappaman. Octafish Mar 2015 #137

I have no idea why you like to post anti-Semites on DU, Octafish. zappaman Mar 2015 #138

When you got nothing, resort to insult. Octafish Mar 2015 #157

Its not an insult to point out how you like posting articles from anti-Semites and homophobes. zappaman Mar 2015 #170

Someone you conveniently use in an attempt to change the conversation? Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #147

No, you waste time posting a $5 Billion straw man again and again. Octafish Mar 2015 #158

You're claiming Pilger's own quote on the $5 billion is a strawman? Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #159

You sound so scary, zappaman. Show where Mearsheimer is an anti-Semite. Octafish Mar 2015 #175

Reply #133 zappaman Mar 2015 #177

I'll ask again: NuclearDem Mar 2015 #198

His son, George Herbert Walker Bush, and grandson, George Walker Bush, both lied America into war. Octafish Mar 2015 #199

So, of course then President Obama paid $5 billlion in 2014 for a "coup" in Ukraine! Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #200

Focusing on $5 billion diverts attention from the point: Wars for Profit. Octafish Mar 2015 #205

The $5 billion figure was important enough for Pilger to lie about. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #206

Pilger is accurate, which is why you have to smear him. Octafish Mar 2015 #207

But you yourself admit he's not accurate. See Post 174. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2015 #233

The PNAC guy? Octafish Mar 2015 #239

No, not a PNAC guy muriel_volestrangler Mar 2015 #241

Which makes him out to be PNAC chums with Robert Kagan, husband, coincidentally, of Victoria Nuland. Octafish Mar 2015 #243

No, it doesn't make him a 'chum' muriel_volestrangler Mar 2015 #245

PNAC is attempting to force US into arming Ukraine in a hoped-for war with Russia. Octafish Mar 2015 #247

PNAC ''Chums'' is a bad word on my part. Sorry. PNAC "Co-conspirators" would be more accurate. Octafish Mar 2015 #252
