A top political nemesis of President Vladimir Putin was shot and killed early Saturday in central Moscow, Russian police said, one day before an opposition rally was scheduled to take place.

Boris Nemtsov, 55, a former deputy prime minister, was shot four times from a passing car as he was walking on a bridge just outside the Kremlin. Interior Ministry spokeswoman Yelena Alexeyeva told reporters on the scene that Nemtsov was walking with a female acquaintance, a Ukrainian citizen, when a vehicle drove up and unidentified assailants shot him dead. The woman wasn't hurt.

“Its an angle worth looking at. “

Of course the Kremlin will fill the air with all sorts of fluff and wild theories to create an information overload and you guys will be here to tell us about all of these. Same as with the MH17 (people on the plane were already dead when it took off, Ukrainians wanted to shoot Putin’s plane but missed, etc...).

Maybe it was a “woman in red” incident, the way the Feds got John Dillinger.

Don’t say it cannot happen here

TBD.

Obama has two years left to complete a Putin type of tyranny in this country. The problem for Obama is that there is still 40 or 50% of the country that understands what liberty means.

How does it benefit Putin from having a political opponent killed on his door step in a high profile way?

You seriously don't know how it helps Putin?

Well, it shows any others who might challenge him what to expect...

Yes. A very public assassination that will have a chilling effect on political free speech, for the remaining 25% of the Russians who don't believe their government's propaganda, and who are still able to think for themselves.

I’m told they’ve already arrested a Leon Harvey Osvaldov and charged him with the murder...

Perhaps you’re being purposely ambiguous about your canards. Be direct. Say what you really mean.

Oswald really did allegedly have the nickname “Oswaldovitch” in the USMC. The second page refers to this: http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg%20Subject%20Index%20Files/C%20Disk/Call%20Richard%20Dennis%20Sgt/Item%2005.pdf ; it’s because he’d read Russian newspapers, listen to Russian music, things like this.

They’d probably not smear the man after killing him.

The only problem I have with that type of statement is that if you really think Obama is killing his opponents in our streets you’d at least be able to name one.

The only problem I have with that type of statement is you seem to be implying or suggesting Putin did this and or was directly and personally connected.

Lets see your proof?

Ya talk about principles and false equivalencies right? Lets see your proof.
