Putin, is one very strange dude, his remarks about gays and children at the Olympics.

1. True

He apparently believes that old crap about gays=pedophiles. Nonsense.

2. Projecting, as all R-minded people do. nt

8. Yep! n/t

3. He is so creepy

Last Botox went bad - his face looks embalmed to me and the Tatar eye slant accentuated in his face lift. Plus spooky with all that KGB history.

He's going to bring both the hammer and sycle down on all people in a few hundred mile radius of Sochi just to TRY to prove Russia is a good place to spend your tourist money.

6. Yep, I find him so creepy too and the KGB IMO never left him. He just does not seem

a very pleasant individual IMO. I find him quite stoic, regressive, repressive and depressing.

4. Maybe its something in the translation?

Probably not. He's just creepy.

7. I would like to think that about the translation, but I don't think so either. n/t

5. I await the Greenwald column on this atrocity. I'm sure that right after Snowden

makes a public statement on it Greenwald will get right on this.

12. I thought you didn't read Greenwald?

13. When

Snowden makes a public statement on this, the FSB will be the first to know since they can legally monitor and read all communications in Russia in real time. So can every other Russian government agency. Without a warrant, any sort of probable cause, or even a court to go through.

You could not pay me to go to Sochi. I won't visit Russia for any reason whatsoever. But if you do go, only use traveler's checks and a burner phone. Talk to your bank manager or credit card company about the most secure credit card to take as a backup for emergency use.

9. Edward Snowden's paragon of morality and justice has spoken.

[Bluenorthwest]

10. If he's what straights call 'a strange dude' no wonder

progress is impossible. He's a hateful, ignorant bigot. And that is sadly not strange at all, it is common as dirt, as regular as sunrise.

[RKP5637]

11. And, sadly, we have a number in the US just like him. n/t

14. Nobody ever said a dictator had to be smart or have class.

Pooty Poot is no exception.

15. Yep! n/t
