In addition to phoobaar's (great name, love T&C) link, I think you ought to actually view the link I posted. You people are insane if you let your democracy slip away like it is now. Trust me, I know what a fascist state is. I live in one.

I'm sure in all the stories you've submitted... there have been dupes too. I ain't doing it blatantly. I don't track the frontpage 24 and 7 and sometimes dupe happens becuz the dupe filter is broken. You don't have to be such an ass about it... whatever dude. This sorta attitude from a fellow active digger just irritates me. xoxo.

Neither side is good, both are bad. Its just that some are better for the masses victimized in betweenIt's just a matter of degree.

I've been living in Russia for 3 years. I'm from New York, born and raised. And it really freaks me out, when i read the news from the States or Europe and what they say about Russia, because it doesn't jive with the reality here. And for someone like jpy321 to say what he says, is obvious that he's just parroting what the news media in the West wants him to believe. It makes me sick and utterly distrustful of anything I read from my home country. It's just amazing that their are so many harden beliefs from around the world about Russia from people who have never been there or know anybody there.Other Russia, contains a bunch of disparate groups who have little support in Russia or by Russians. It contains Kasparovs group, which he is always prefaced as ex chess champion. You have to wonder why it so important for the Western media to always introduce him as ex-chess champion. Can you hear me now? It's call branding. You never hear his policy plans, only that he is anti-Putin and ex-chess champ. He was an assh**e when he was chess champ and he still is. Smug, unlikeable and back by shady money.Then there is Eduard Limonov and the NBP, National Bolshevik Party. A party of Ultra-nationalist with a mixture of Nazism, Communism and anarchist. There party logo is a black hammer and sickle set in a Nazi flag in replacement of swastika. Many of his rank and file members are skin heads. But they never tell you about that in the West. Google it and see the truth.Then there is the People Patriotic Union, which is a fringe Communist party that spilt with the main Communist party. It is ran by former premier Mikhail Kasyanov, who was called Misha "2 Percent" because he would cut corrupt deals with anybody for a 2 percent cut. And really does the Communist party really need an off shoot party.Then there is Union of Right Forces headed by Boris Nemtsov. He maybe the only one who has good enough credentials to run a government, but his public life and connection as Yeltsins right hand man, makes him deeply unpopular.And as far as the arrest of Kasparov, It's a political stunt to get PR for Other Russia. As oppose to all the comments here that they ban demonstrations, they were allowed to rally and demonstrate. They had a permit to do so. So there was no ban. They did not however have a permit to march. And anybody who lives or knows Moscow, a march would clog the already traffic jammed streets. So an organized set of protester barreled through the police blockade and started to march down a main thorough fare lead by guess who Kasparov. They arrested him and he was on all the news in the back of a big bus giving the peace symbol to his supporters and news cameras. No cuffs, no beatings and 5 days in jail. No live bullets as redmonkey eludes to. In fact no live bullets in any case. Where do you come up with this stuff? Lot better treatment then say G8 Protesters got all over the world or protesters in Georgia whose a western ally, or the Pakistanis get or even the Protest against the Republican convention where hundreds protesters jailed in a bare warehouse on the west side of Manhattan without any formal charges for 3 days.So you really have to wonder why there is such a disparity on the part of the Western news outlets or in the knowledge of Western citizens to the reality? Whose fooling who?
