This in itself was crazy.

That's the best thing I've read in AGES. Great find, CID.

Just like the Palmer Raids and the McCarthy era of the 50's, this thread should stand through time as representative of the 3rd major Red Scare the US has put itself through since Lenin and company started freaking the world out. Skelly has plenty of company when it comes to irrationally and inaccurately responding to Russian actions.

For someone who complains so much about historical analogies - you sure do suck at them.

What exactly is analogous to the Palmer Raids? Manafort? Stone? Those arrests were akin to the warrantless arrests of thousands? Whaaa? :suspicious:

Who is analogous to McCarthy? Mueller?



And, the red scares were about communists. Not Russians. Modern Russia is very far removed from communism. But, don't let that stop your "3rd major Red Scare" analogy.

Uh, no. Check your histories, there were some bad people who did bad things that were part of those earlier Red Scares. What made them scares was taking those smaller events and turning them into an unfounded panic about larger, more sinister motives and impacts. Like I said, this thread delivers on that point almost to a tee. And the Red Scares were about Russia primarily - them being communist just juiced it up better. :thumb:

Ganny - I agree with Reek on this one

The previous red scares were fueled by actual facts... there was a worker’s revolution in Russia, and organized labor in the US at the time was being influenced by the domestic Communist movement. So there was at least a small factual basis for it.

Fast forward to McCarthy - there actually were closet communists at the State Department.

I think a better analogy would be the Roswell incident and Area 51.... there is actually a town called Roswell, and there is actually a country called Russia. The USAF actually has a base called Area 51 in the desert, and there actually was a Russian troll farm.

This^^^^, even though it serves no useful purpose anymore, if it ever did serve a useful purpose, it illustrates how deluded certain people on this board were/are.p and will believe anything if it lines up with their views.

Maybe, someday it could be a book.

But there were facts in this one as well - Manafort was a crook for instance. The Russians were clearly involved in prodding false narratives. That was factual too. But the scare part happens when you grossly extrapolate those isolated facts and strongly believe that Trump was/is some kind of Manchurian candidate working at the direction of a foreign government that changed votes in the voting machines to get him there. Some people still believe that today despite all the evidence to the contrary.

I have to disagree. The Palmer raids are more like our ICE raids than the Russia investigation.

Right - but the actual fact pattern with Russian interference has been known for some time. I take all that as read.

Beyond that, the collusion investigation was as fanciful as captive aliens in Area 51
