Should the House UnAmerican Activities Committee be reinstated?

BRTD, what's worse?  South Park, or Russia?

Are you trying to give him a head explosion?

I hate Putin as much as the next person more than any of you, guys, but let's not lose our heads.

[ag]

BRTD, what on earth has gotten into you?

I HATE Russia.

Relax. So do most Russians.

Given my family history as well as geographic factors, I think I can safely compete for the title.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Well we just learned that a retired general and National Security Advisor was in fact a Russian agent. I don't recall communists ever getting control of a general or Cabinet member during the McCarthyist hysteria.

Hopefully 2019 will see Speaker Pelosi seeing to this.

And you know the House is under Republican control, right?

Wow, you really want the Democrats to keep losing.

Another Russian scare should makes these freaks head back for the trees and into thier baskets.

Maybe some of these guys ought to hop on the next Aeroflot flight for their beloved Moscow. And I don't mean Moscow, Idaho!

[GoTfan]

Absolutely not. It's far to easy to descend into more anti-Russian propaganda.

I hope Democrats like yourself stop trying to indoctrinate the party to blindly follow you. Blind hatred of Russia is not going to help anyone. In fact, blind hatred of Russia is most definitely NOT progressive at all.

The scary thing is that Hillary and BRTD's views are awfully similar here. She even called anti fracking activists Russian operatives. She was without a doubt the worst Democratic nominee since the 1920s.

Thing is, I can still point out that Russia does have a particularly egregious record of human rights abuse and is heavily restrictive of the press. These are sane points to make. Advocating for a war with them based on unfounded and blind accusations made out of anger. . . Is sort of not.

No but the FBI should investigate Flynn, Stein, Trump, and other likely KGB agents

A Russian spy was just National Security Advisor! How is being concerned about that "blind hatred"?

Is there any evidence/proof that he was a spy?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Uh why did he just resign?

[7,052,770]

"Asset" might be a more accurate term than agent or spy.

Good idea.

[America Needs R'hllor]

I actually kinda agree with BRTD.

(Of course it shouldn't devolve into McCarthyist paranoia about anyone with "controversial" political opinion, but actual instances of complicity with Putin must be investigated.)

Of course it needs to be investigated, but you don't need a fascist-smelling committee for it.
Also, what happened to all liberal, all the time?

Indeed. You have proper authorities for that. A political committee would inevitably degrade into a political s**tstorm. It would be just impossible for this to end up any other way.

That's what I want. An all liberal all the time HUAC that investigates the alt right and other authoritarians like Flynn.

This is not liberal. This is authoritarian, just against the other side.

Wouldn't any house committee be controlled by the GOP?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

That's why they won't do it. I'm hoping a Speaker Pelosi does after 2019.
