It’s interesting that there are occasionally honest liberals.

At Saloon??? GMAFB...........

I think honest democrats started dying out with Sam Ervin. Zell Miller was a dying breed of democrat that care about the welfare of the country.

Very few left, and certainly not in the media.

At the same time, they believe Hillary was robbed

Isn't it more like Hillary robbed them by bringing down Bernie?

More for the Goebbelsmedia to suppress and distort. Now it can be “altright” 24 7. But it is fun to watch him kick these scumbags around.

Didn’t Christopher Hitchens write for Salon?

Rush may be on to something.

Defending communism would certainly be considered a virtue at The Nation and at Salon. Democrats should be nervous.

Soros will be disapppointed, however.

They are anti-Israel Lyndon LaRouche cultists who support whatever the Russians do and who are deathly afraid of any effort to overthrow the regime in Iran.

VIPs and Ray McGovern are antiwar in the case of US policy but they’re OK with Putin waging it; their shoplifting Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski was Ted Kennedy’s favorite “source/leaker” against the Pentagon back when Ted was red and in full blown support for Hugo Chavez...but not yet dead.

And Antifa has been tasked with burying this particular bit of news.

Keep in mind Rich may have been a complete cut-out, or a mere go-between, either of which in itself has its own pluses and minuses...

True, they are not conservatives though they pretend to be. They’re LaRouche , the spawn of the SDS, just like Obama’s pals the Weather Underground.

They’ve fooled people on both sides of the spectrum for years by glomming on to populist movements..

LaRouche is an old SDS Trotskyite who has reached the point where international socialists lose faith and morph into national socialists, that is, fascists. Of course, he was all gaga over Trump and endorsed him, so when the communists point out that there are fascists on Trump’s side, they are right, insofar as the LaRouche cult endorsed Trump. That doesn’t mean Trump approved of the endorsement, but if he did that’s where his troubles are coming from and why the level of hysteria against him is so over the top.

The LaRouche cult is closely affiliated with the KKK. They woo people by attaching themselves to highly respected people which gives them credibility, but they attach themselves without gaining permission. They have taken old fashioned namedropping and turned it into a high art.

That said, those same fascists were on Kerry’s side in 2004... and Obama’s after that. For some reason they dislike Hillary but that may be a false flag on their part. They are opportunists looking for a place to wedge themselves.

“...What the new report does show is Hillary and Obama insiders framed the Russians to cover up a Hillary scandal and DNC mismanagement of their server breach.”

I disagree. I think Obama and the deep state used the “Russia” story to justify domestic surveillance of Trump (and anyone else they wanted). Hillary multi-purposed it to explain her humiliating defeat. The media further multi-purposed it to obstruct the Trump agenda.

The one explanation does not preclude the other.

Let us not forget another common liberal game, that of accusing your opponent of what you are doing. During the campaign, when many of us expressed concern about the fact that Hillary sold 1/5 of our uranium supply to Russia for tens of millions of dollars, Hillary started talking about Trump colluding with Russia--trying to make it look like Trump was doing something far worse than merely selling out our national security for a big payout.

The left has gotten a lot of mileage about the fake Russia collusion story. It is our task to keep pointing out that there never was evidence for that, and that the Democrats' real crimes and shady practices need to be investigated.

The mainstream media is diligently ignoring the Nation story but there’s no doubt it’s being paid attention to on the left and is registering hard. The Nation is one of the ideological left’s most trusted publications. It is a beloved, historical part of their movement and the fact that this was published there is very significant.

They know they have been selling crap and that if the truth comes out they will look like the fools they are so this is damage control.

First, The Nation now Salon. Who's next to drop the axe on the Russian hacking story? Rolling Stone?

Maybe the logic goes that if mainstream journalists leave this untouched, that alone will be enough to discredit it.

This has worked for "Science" and also the globalist client chefs for decades.
