Do you respect Michael Brown as much as Vladimir Putin?

[fredtoast]

There has been a lot of talk recently about how so many people on the right respect Putin for his strength and toughness.  They claim that it does not matter how evil Putin's motives are because they can still respect him for being a tough guy.

But I don't think he is any tougher than Michael Brown.  Remember how tough he was when he stole those cigars from that convenience store?

So those of you who respect Putin must have also respected Michael Brown.  Nothing deserves out praise more than a thug who is not afraid to use his power, right?

Brown stole from one person and attacked another.

Putin steals from virtually every citizen of Russia and uses violence/threats of violence against every citizen of Russia plus much of the world.

It's neck and neck.

Putin's still alive so I'm giving him the nod.

Putin is too big of a pusssy to attack an armed police officer.

If Michael Brown was leading Russia he would already be beating Turkey's ass.  That is what a real man would do.

I think it an odd comparison, due to the small sample size of actions from Mike Brown.

I don't respect either.

This is stupid.

Neither do I.

That is exactly the point I am trying to make.

You forgot to ask if supporting either is racist and the poll is mising.

If someone gives you 2 people to choose, you have to pick someone even if you don't particularly like/respect/support the actions of either of them. That's how it works.

Or else you're a conservative communist sympathizer.

Damn, this thread was orginally started in Jungle Noise......You guys are slipping.


I didn't even get the chance to ask the OP to please post it in the PnR forum.

Impossible. You have to like one better than the other.

As usual the point went over your head.

I made fun of you for not being able to choose between Obama and Putin.  I never said that anyone HAD TO pick one over the other.  I just made fun of you for not being able to choose between those two.

I don't agree with everything that the Republican party does here in the United States, but I would never be stupid enough to say that Putin was not worse than any of them. Donald Trump is a ******** clown, but I would still choose him over Putin.

Get it now?

Compare Putin's domestic policies to Obama. I bet you will find they are very similar. Especially in spirit. With the exception of gay rights .

So what?  Hitler may have been in favor of universal health care.  That doesn't mean I am too stupid to choose between him and Obama.

Who would would you prefer to run the United States between Putin and Obama?

Wait was this one thread or many? This thread is stupid either way

It's just one. Fred is having a fit.

I have already answered this .... Neither. I don't want a socialist/progressive running the country.

I have never applauded any policies of either. They are equally worthless. The only thing Putin has going for him is that he is a man's man. And like him or not ..... Russian people love him. Because he is proud to be Russian and never bad mouths his nation or people . Now let's compare that to Obama.... Who routinely slams Americans and talks about how stupid his citizens are ....

Russian people don't love him.  They are just afraid to criticize him because it will get them thrown in jail or maybe even killed.


If they really loved him then he would not have to resort to such tactics.
