OMG Dirty Manafort

[kpete]

DIRTY: MANAFORT orchestrated a scheme to have, "[O]bama jews,” as he described them, pressure the OBAMA administration to support his pro-Russian client YANUKOVYCH by "spreading stories in the US that a senior Cabinet official" was abetting antisemitism by supporting TYMOSHENKO.

1. That stuff was posted here on DU

I'll see if I can dig up the "Anti-Russian Ukrainians are Nazi's" threads.

Here's one:

8. This

This was the propaganda that I read, making me believe that the anti-Russian Ukrainians were Anti-Semites. (My husband's family suffered from pogroms in Ukraine, early 20th Century, and I was pre-disposed to distrust Ukrainians, but still, pretty embarrassed to find out that I was duped).

I don't think I read the propaganda here. I think I read it on Facebook. I remember talking about this with a highly leftist friend of mine, and we were both wondering who was lying and who was telling the truth. Decided I trusted Obama administration over the Russians.

9. Stevenlesser's comments in that thread are insightful...

We are deeply suspicious that people who have never before seemed concerned about the rampant antisemitism in eastern europe only seem concerned now in a way that dovetails with their politics.

14. Ahhh....yes....some of the DUers who suddenly appeared and then "disappeared" in the run up to the

....elections and posted primarily Pro-Russia, Anti-Obama, anti-liberal posts and disseminated information (clearly "dis-information) here on DU propagating the things that Manafort and alt-right were pushing....

Good find in the memory hole Jberryhill...

3. Not exactly "news" there. In fact, I would expect no less...

It is a constant RW meme to use racial and ethnic strategies to divide and conquer.

It's what they do.
