4. Your usual bigotry. and a total lie

The Right Sector went from a small minority in the multicultural Maidan movement and are now even smaller--an insignificant factor in Ukraine politics.

Your pattern of bias against Ukrainians is clear bigotry. And you're a bigot that pretends to be against the far right while support a fascist leader in Russia, where the Kremlin runs neo-Nazi death squads. But you don't care about that.

The civil war had zero to do with the right sector--it's Russian invasion.

5. LOL. Deflection. Bigotry requires distortion or stereotyping a race or culture

which you do regularly.

I stick to exposing the false narrative, distorted tabloid reporting. Calling out Right Sector, as right sector, is not bigotry. That would be like saying calling out the KKK is bigotry.
It is not I who stereotype and demonize the entire culture and have a general hatefest the subject. But you are surely so caught in your narrative that it is difficult to distinguish. You show that regularly by calling everyone you disagree with putinlickers.

It's pretty obvious.

Can you show me where I have stereotyped a culture? Of course you can't.

I have answered this charge (by someone, unlike you, who was actually well meaning) here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017238401#post14

Whereas you really do show a pattern of supporting a homophobic, fascist government, focusing on support of that government, while showing a wholesale disregard for human rights in general by never even admitting (nevermind condemning" that government uses homophobia as part of its increasing totalitarian grip on control (a definition of fascism); you even blame the USA for homophobia in Russia. You also distort news to slam the Ukrainians on a regular basis. These patterns qualifies you for bigot by your own definition.

Perhaps after reading that link above you will realize you are wrong and quit abusing this serious charge of bigotry. If you insist on continuing, you volunteer for being labeled a bigot yourself.

On edit, I'm not the only one that has noticed.

7. I don't generally answer your "queries" because they are insincere and

you already have your mind made up.

The *only* reason you ever reply to me is not for discourse, but to insult. So why play a game? Not interested

Or, is this the real PEOPLE POWER missing in the U.S.A.?

Well, at the very least, it illustrates very well just where the REAL POWER comes from?
