The Russia bashing has backfired.

114. My goodness; you're painting the DU with the same broad brush you claim the DU has toward Russia!

Cultural differences?! Give me a break! For years I had to put up with a bigoted supervisor because I 'just needed to understand that in her country they hate gays. It's a minor cultural difference' is what I was told. This was in Seattle in the '90's. So, all of us GLBT folk just need to understand that the Russians hating, bashing, and (possibly) killing our people is a culture thing? What a bunch of bunk! Just like that bigoted ignoramus got fired eventually (she also hated Americans) so will the hatred of this so-called culture be exposed. In fact, the whole world is shinning a light on it right now because of the Olympics! Your suggestion that this issue will ignite a new cold war thus generating money for the MIC is nothing more than some ridiculous scare tactic. Won't work.
