The Kremlin has expanded a secret list of Americans banned from entry to Russia, and campaign bundlers tied to the LGBT community are on it.

The Kremlin has expanded its secret “black list” of Americans banned from Russia to include Obama campaign fundraisers tied to the LGBT community and senior Congressmen, diplomatic sources tell The Daily Beast. Moscow’s list, these sources say, was expanded in retaliation to the Obama administration’s attack on the assets of key business associates of Vladimir Putin in March.

The Russian government has been working for months to expand the list in response to the three rounds of sanctions against Russian officials, businessmen, and institutions. But unlike the United States, which made all three rounds of sanctions public, the Russian government only publicly revealed one list of sanctioned Americans, which included top Senators and White House officials. The contents of the subsequent additions to the Russian list, however, remain officially undisclosed.

Barrys not at all concerned..as long as the Whizz supply holds out.

I say we call Putie’s bluff here. I say we send every last pro-queer pro-Obama campaign bundler to Russia. Air drop ‘em in if necessary. With or without parachutes - who cares.

Lets see what Vlad has to say about THAT.

Homosexuality can not become acceptable to the Soviet system as they could not use it to blackmail and control certain groups of people.

Uh oh, I hope it’s not double secret probation.

[N. Theknow]

Perhaps Snowden has some input into the list.

Interesting that both McInsaneCain and Blubbering Boehner are on the list.

I guess Code Pink won’t be vacationing in the Crimea.

[NurdlyPeon]

Man, get me my popcorn!

[Da Coyote]

D*mn, I knew there were redeeming virtues of Putin.

[Sacajaweau]

We pushed the envelope during the Sochi games. Disgraceful. They’re were plenty of non-gay athletes to send as reps. But Obama just had to be cute.

[reagandemocrat]

I put them on my blacklist, too.

[Cheerio]

Hilarious. Tit for Tat.

I wonder if the LGBT aspect of this action is a shot across the bow to Obuttboy? Does Putin has evidence about the Homo-In-Chief’s extracurricular activities?
