Viktor Orban, the PM of Hungary, is accused by the NYTimes of being a repressive ruler. Coincidentally, he is also conservative, and you don’t see the NYTimes writing such articles about Cuba and Venezuela. How exactly is Orban repressive? Well....

“Critics contend that the government uses its purse strings to control the arts (NEA) and make the news media compliant (CNN/MSNBC,NYT). Dissent is attacked in the official press and sometimes investigated by the government (phone taps by NSA)

Even some conservative supporters are slightly wary of the extent to which Mr. Orban has systematically assembled power: packing courts (Obama hard left judicial picks) and the chief prosecutor’s office (Eric Holder) with loyalists, altering the Constitution (amnesty for Illegal Aliens without authority) and laws so his party dominates.”

Does anything that Orban has done remind you of anything Obama has also done?

NYT article is garbage. Maybe Orban has some illusions about Putin and maybe he doesn’t; the notion that anything to the right of Manhattan liberalism is automatically “putin” (or, more commonly, “nazi”) is left-wing agitation and nothing more.
