Remember too that the night of the orange thingie in Ukraine, there was a post here saying that tanks were headed from Russia to Ukraine. I don't think one poster even questioned it, for at least several pages. It was just accepted that Putin was now going to try to take over Ukraine. I can remember how hard I was laughing, but it is really sad, I guess.

Ukie was the one who posted the nonsense about Russian tanks coming from Southern Ukraine headed towards Kiev. It doesn't take too much intelligence to see that Russia is a long ways from Kiev, and clearly is not south of it.
Furthermore, Ukie posted the nonsense about 1,000 Russian Spetsnaz landing at the airport outside of Kiev. Granted it was in a newspaper article. However, there would have been a major outcry from the world community if that were true. Have you heard one word about that since then? Clearly the Opposition was using propaganda to play on fear to strengthen their position, and many Freepers have bought into this nonsense.

And of course, the fact that George Soros' guy is the alternative is lost on some people.

The "Orange Revolution" is just like what we saw in Georgia in `03 and Serbia in 2000. Same tactics - dispute election results based on exit polls, followed by massive street demonstrations.

Uki was also using the fair and balanced eXile as one of his sources. Funny, last time I checked, the eXile had such a warm and fuzzy for Bush. Maybe that's why they are banned here on FR.
