In reply to the discussion: Democrats step up calls that Russian hack was act of war [View all]elleng
(134,862 posts)I simply questioned whether there was a proper analogy, and there is nothing whatsoever shameful in doing such. Others did the same.
"She set the tone for certain actors inside the country; she gave the signal," Putin said of Clinton
at the time, accusing her of ordering the opposition movement into action like some kind of revolutionary sleeper cell. "They heard this signal and, with the support of the U.S. State Department, started actively doing their work."
Analogous??? '
Others recognized the false equivalence, post #4: "Bullshit. False equivalence.
Clinton criticizing Russian 'appearance of a democratic election' in Russia (could be called theatre production) is in no way equivalent to Russia hacking DNC, spreading misinformation in the news and twitter bots, smear campaign, etc. Did you forget that Russia tried (but failed) to hack into US voting machines?
Your statement is repugnant."
