Why would I have “evidence” of something that sounds deranged?

“A nazi shill”, you say? You are insulting another FReeper with a personal attack!

This is against Free Republic rules.

All I’m asking is for you to use some logic and facts rather than personal attacks to define your disagreement. Replies like this have gone on far too long and you are making Free Republic and its rules a laughing stock.

Obviously, the Ukraine war is an important topic to many FReepers. There will be both pro-Ukraine and pro-Russia posting and threads quite often. We don’t need to litter these up with garbage language and personal attacks. It’s about time we all put our feet down and show some respect.

Thank you for your response.

Every Freeper, every person, is entitled to Freedom of thought and expression. Each of us can at least respect the opinions of others even if personally we don’t agree.

The Free Republic site supports and gives each Freeper the opportunity to share information toward the goal to increase our own learning. This pursuit of knowledge is vital to learn and know the difference between what “we believe to be true” and “what is fundamentally true.”

======================================

The nature of the Ukrainian government, its military, and the Nazi groups that control that government and military are well known, that knowledge is not any sort of a state secret. One of the Russian demands you read about is "deNazification of Ukraine. Moreover, if somebody is less than happy with being called a "nazi shill", there is a simple solution: DO NOT SHILL FOR NAZIS OR ASSIST THEM IN DISSEMINATING THEIR PROPAGANDA!!.

Seemingly from the beginning of the present conflict in Ukraine there has been a gaggle of ten or twenty people making a tireless effort to spread neocon and nazi propaganda, much of it totally at odds with what you see on reliable sources and I waited until around two months ago to start calling them out for it or calling them liars or shills.

These people have been polluting FR with this garbage and now seemingly are demanding to be treated with respect as if there were a question of "even-handedness" involved. There is a Yiddish word for that kind of thing ( "Chutzpah") e.g. the kid who murders his parents and then demands leniency for being an orphan. Concern over "even-handededness" when dealing with such types is clearly misplaced.
