The official position of the Democrat Party is that the Russian Government… possibly in collusion with the FBI… attempted to rig an American election through the dastardly tactic of… um… releasing emails where the Democrats exposed how they rigged their own primary and what they really thought of their voters. (Note, the Wikileaks people who actually released the emails deny any Russian involvement.) And now, the Democrats are going nuts with recriminations, complaining that Trump is a “treacherous Russian whore” and putting Trump appointees and advisors under the microscope for any hint of Russian influence.
The Democrats lose one election and suddenly they turn into Joe McCarthy. “Are you now or have you ever been in favor of good relations with Russia?” They even have a Hollywood blacklist going.
I will stipulate that the Russians have espionage operations that involve hacking into political networks to uncover intelligence. The CIA, the NSA, and the DoD hack Russian networks for the same purpose. Pretty much every country in the world with an intelligence apparatus uses hacking as an intelligence-gathering tool. It’s a little … what’s the word… specious, I guess… for the Democrats to get all haughty and self-righteous about it.
Are those guys aware that Obama himself has attempted to interfere with foreign elections? He meddled in BREXIT (and lost). He also meddled in Israel (and lost). He also interfered in Egyptian politics (and, yeah, lost).
Maybe he’s just jealous that, once again, Vladimir Putin showed that he is way better at his job than Obama is. (That’s sarcasm, by the way.)
Are they really upset that Donald Trump may actually pursue better relations with Russia? Is there something wrong with that? If they are angry that there are people in Trump’s administration who are friendly toward Russia, why were they not angry about Obama cozying up to the Muslim Brotherhood Why weren’t they upset that Hillary’s most trusted advisor has very close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood?
Because politics — it’s always okay when a Democrat does it. (That’s not sarcasm, by the way.)
What are they really afraid of? That Trump is going to let the Red Menace run tanks down Main Street and force us to eat Borscht and watch YouTube DashCam videos ? (I like Russian Dashcam videos, I guess that makes me a commie.)

Oh My.
Foreign govs hacking into US campaigns and disseminating damaging info is “just politics.”?
Complaining about Russia aligning itself with conservatives & writing fake propaganda is “insane?”
Perhaps you need to confer with the dictionary on the definition of ”insane.”
Otherwise I would point you to the definition of “hack” as in “You are a partisan hack”
“What are they really afraid of?”
Maybe Americans are concerned that the President and his cabinet are politically and financially beholden to Russia? Doesn’t that seem like reasonable concern? The founders thought so….
The real question should be why aren’t you outraged that you have become a tool a foreign gov. Why are you so afraid of self reflection?
Are the emails and their contents fake, mikey?
#2 – OK, Little-Letter-Mikey, let’s put this in perspective.
Ask yourself this question:
So it’s OK that the American people didn’t need to know Putin was manipulating the voting so long as Cankles won the election?
Try again, putz.

From a historical perspective, were the Communist witch hunts during the 50s justified?
it is not who released the e-mails that hurt the democrats, it was what was in the e-mails that hurt the democrats.
Wouldn’t it have been much more logical that IF the Russians had hacked our election they would have wanted Killary? She was, after all, the reset lady. She sold 20% of our uranium to the Russians.
I mean, really, Trump is an unknown entity because he isn’t a politician.

Oh, and yes, V the K: McCarthy was correct in the 50’s.
mike – I’ve yet to hear anything to convince me that the Russkies had anything to do with the leaks (but it wouldn’t surprise me a lot). A disgruntled Bernie/DNC-insider sounds as likely.
Regardless, governments try to peer into other government’s secrets all the time (remember when it was revealed that the US gov’t was listening in on Angela Merkel’s phone call a couple of years back – BHO running the show??). Wasn’t it revealed that BHO was meddling in a recent Israeli election as well as the Brexit referendum?
Also, seems to me, that the Russians would be better off keeping their signals-intelligence to themselves. It’s easy to imagine Putin, sitting across the table from HRC in tense negotiations, pulling out a folder of sensitive emails about, say, pay-for-play payoffs from the Saudis.
And now the left is surprised. Go figure.
Sh!tlib actors and possibly C- list actors ask Electoral college to trigger Civil War II http://reactionarytimes.blogspot.com/2016/12/old-hollywood-communists-too-senile-to.html
@ 13, Steve, I saw that video. It’s just laugh out loud hilarious. These aging old actors begging and pleading. That is just so pathetic but funny at the same time. I hope somebody makes spoof video if it.
Podesta pulled an idiot move and gave his email password out on a junior high level phishing plot.
60,000 emails captured in just a matter of minutes. No real hacking there.
The DNC was warned several times that their system was vulnerable. They did nothing. Like a typical liberal,…it is always someone else’s fault.

One thing Vladimir Putin is better at than Obama, convincing his citizens he is on their side.
Me thinks the culturally marxist 2%er progressives/libertarians aka national socialists/communists project and prevaricate too much. They are now politically irrelevant thanks to electronic media. They will remain in the political wilderness until they choose to adhere to the COTUS, the Bill of Rights and the rule of law, not the rule of precedent.
So President Urkel told the Russkies to “Cut it out!” and they complied, with no further intervention in the election. Huh. So what’s the big deal again?
littlelettermikey, the fascist is a card carrying member of the “Intellectual Yet Idiot” club. He flies in the progressive swarm and he repeats whatever the meme of the moment is with granite reliability.
Our government hacks foreign governments with the same dedication that foreign governments use in hacking us. Friends hack friends, competitors hack competitors and pajama boys hack whatever crosses their paths.
Disseminating damaging info into politics is the bread and butter of the DemonizingRats who are a pure Nazi-like union telling us that “stronger together” is the wave of the future in which the government will ferret out inequality, crush discrimination, erase bias, get our food intake under control, save us from error, teach us to think correctly, enforce intellectual integrity, destroy barriers to improvement, bring about total inclusion and do all sorts of meaningful government community organizing for one and for all. Stronger together is the totalitarian dedication to building a superhighway to Utopia with the bodies of the non-corming being the pavement.
Under Stronger Together, our Intellectual but Idiot masters will tell us who to elect, what to believe, correct our habits of communication, manage our diets, micromanage our macroeconomics and macromanage our microeconomics. They will include the “irrational” out and send them to be rationalized in Intelligent Yet Idiot camps. We can look to the great “Intellectual Yet Idiot” past to see how this works: Stalinism, Naziism, Freudism, Behaviorism, Social Darwinism, Islamism, Groupthinkism, etc.
Hillary spent a record amount to not get elected. Trump spent well under half of what Hillary spent. And the DemonizingRats are stuck on stupid to the point that the straw they grasp is Putin-did-it.
Yesterday, Hillary told her fat-cat donors that it was payback by Putin for a slight she sent his way in 2011. It is to laugh.
The subject of the Podesta “hacked” emails is how the Hillary campaign engaged in cheating in order to skew the election process. For littlelettermikey, the fascist none of that is of concern. What pisses off thelittleletterminion called mikey is that a dirty birdie told on Hillary and the Repugnants got the edge and that isn’t fair.
Here’s a news flash, littlelettermikey, the fascist: Your team blew it from top to bottom. Your pollster’s didn’t see it coming. Your gurus got skunked. Hillary “campaigned” for a coronation and she concentrated on how dreadful and deplorable Trump is and that goes for his homies, too. Typical Barbra Streisand cold, authoritarian, entitled, offensive, annoying hag. And she lies like a rug.
Unfortunately for the DemonizingRats, the little people are sick of your nagging and divisive pandering and colossal screw-ups. Your fellow liberal media has no clue about what goes for daily life in fly-over America. Your “stronger together” bubble club did more to alienate the deplorables than it even attempted to “bring us together.” We deplorables are sick of “hope and change” and would like to see some jobs and income stability and be able to dream of at least staying even.
So, littlelettermikey, the fascist, I have wasted space, once again talking to a brick. Your progressives have your “settled science” and your community organizing and your Marxist prescriptions for bringing about the world of unicorns and no matter how many people you slaughter, you keep ending up with Venezuela and wondering how it would have turned out if Saint Che had only lived.
