Putin Envy

Last edited Wed Mar 5, 2014, 09:16 AM - Edit history (1)

I love this term that Chris Hayes used last night, and is using again tonight.

He's talking about how the RW are speaking about Putin being decisive, strong, etc. So flatteringly... You know, compared to Obama... HA!

Putin Envy

Love it. Yeah, Chris!

Maybe I'm wrong about this, but I hope the nut-wingers hear this directed at them. They should be embarrassed and feel foolish for their words. This one term crystallizes that point.

More than that, other people who hear the term will realize how ridiculous the RW comments were, and treat them as such. The original comments will be dismissed, as they should be.

4. I know. They go to such extremes to turn everything inside out

and upside down, to say it's Obama's fault. It's ridiculous and so transparent.
I mean, what line will they not cross? Is there even one?

And you're right about the hatred. Their hate overrides common sense. They can't think straight or be objective.

It's frustrating.
