Sure you do.

He was hilarious, wasn't he? I think we all got a good laugh out of him.

Do you know why? Because he was crazy. Certifiably batshit insane.

The funny thing was, if it were Glenn Beck spouting strange conspiracy theories about events in Ukraine, I think all of us would be getting a good laugh out of it.

I mean, trying to quilt together a narrative that involves the EU, IMF, CIA, Victoria Nuland and her various pastries, John McCain, NGOs, western corporations, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Ukrainian ultranationalists, $5 billion dollars, the corporate media, and now apparently R. Hunter Biden--there's some serious fucked up creativity going on that person's head.

And yet, if someone registers a screen name on DU, we are somehow obligated to take that same incredibly convoluted narrative more seriously because we have to assume he's one of us? And take every one of his positions as if he is an expert, like...say....when he compared the Ukrainian interim government to the Third Reich. No, seriously:
