I think you had a real shot at coming across as a rational human being until you equated being a political hack with being a communist.
We may disagree on 'no traceable poison' meaning that somehow he wasn't poisoned, especially since what I've read doesn't say that they found 'no traceable poison' but that they found symptoms characteristic of dioxin poisoning, and Austrian doctors were quoted as saying their patient's illness was due to both a serious viral infection and "chemical substances which are not normally found in food products"...i.e., POISON. Maybe you think that's tinfoil stuff, but whatever, we can disagree on that.
We can even disagree on your feeble slam on Yushchenko drinking, even though there are lots of other situations where Yanukovich's partisans acted like goons and it is no real stretch to believe they did so there.
But labelling all political hacks as Communists, that's going too far. Bob Dole is a political hack. Jeb Bush is a political hack. Heck, George H.W. Bush was a political hack. But they are not the same as Yanukovich. I don't recall any of them ever saying anything about ceding control of the U.S. back to England. Yanukovich did the equivalent.
But you are eager, of course, to smear Yushchenko as the Commie, simply because...in your heart you somehow PREFER to believe that both the leading candidates are Communists? Whatever.
I do equate them when the country we are talking about is the Ukraine. In 1976 Yushchenko was department chief at the USSR State Bank. In 1984 he was appointed Deputy Director for Agricultural Crediting. In 1991 he was First Deputy Chairman of the Board at Bank Ukrayina. I bet, during all this time Yuschenko was a card carying COMMIE! Unless you think the Soviet Union was in the habit of promoting outside the party.
We can even disagree on your feeble slam on Yushchenko drinking, even though there are lots of other situations where Yanukovich's partisans acted like goons and it is no real stretch to believe they did so there.
It was a joke to prove a point that just because someone says they are out to get me doesn't me he's telling the truth. And I certainly believe Ya's men are ruthless enough to do it, but ability to commit a crime is not proof. In this case we don't even know if a crime was commited.
But labelling all political hacks as Communists
I wasn't clear. I did not mean to paint all political hacks as communists. Just the ones in the Ukraine and other breakaway republics.
But you are eager, of course, to smear Yushchenko as the Commie, simply because...in your heart you somehow PREFER to believe that both the leading candidates are Communists? Whatever.
It's got nothing to do with my heart. I want to believe that the people are rising up to demand an end to tyrany. It's my brain that keeps interfering. I can't believe you think he is not a communist, but WML?
