It's idiotic things like this that's caused the mess media liars to lose over 80% of their viewers - they think we're all as stupid as they are!
well russia is still very much US nemesis even if the cold war's over.. they got huge natural resources, oligarchs to sell them off have been kicked out the game & putin is a real nationalist who hates the US and democracy. The fact that bush stole 2 elections doesn't really encourage me to see them destabilize russia for that reason, but i guess we sheep shouldnt get our noses in powerful people's rivalry, except to go get killed when they broke wars from their offices, so i wont say anything

People keep hating on Putin as if he is some villain. I mean, he picked Russia up from chaos. Instead of cashing in, he served the country magnificently. Washington could learn a thing or two from him.
Putin cares more about his fellow Russians more than our Republicrats in Washington care about their fellow Americans. Say what you will about Putin, but Russians love him for a reason.. he had the balls to go after the criminal oligarchs that were looting his country during the chaotic 90's, not to mention he stabilized the economy and improved it immensely over several years.
We don't see Putin's troops occupying half the globe. He gets smeared by the US mainstream media for calling them out.
@1corpoaratekochwhore I compared primarily our presidential elections and their presidential elections, not the political systems as a whole. They have no choice when it comes to the kind of person that will win... and we have no choice either. We can only choose which right wing nut or sellout we prefer. It's not a choice at all.
Cenk is just one more idiot stupid enough to fail to recognize that as another US staged “color revolution” Morons like him will be always found to in support of US coup detas and wars, just like he supported NATO sponsored AL-queda terrorists in Libya that resulted in destruction of that country in ongoing civil war, deaths of tens of thousand and sacking of several major cities. Stupid liberal imbeciles can be always counted on to support US imperialism and terror.
Libya was just another example of liberal/ progressive hypocrisy.
We had to stop Qaddafi from attacking a city (Benghazi), so we could then help the rebels attack a different city (Sirte) by humanitarianly bombing them to dust.
Does anyone else not see the hypocrisy in that?
Let me state that I am no friend of Qaddafi, but nor am I of the rebels.
At the big-picture level, the problem isn't voter fraud, it's ELECTION FRAUD. In America we have 3 cases per year of voter fraud, but with talk radio and Fox News tricking people into voting Republican, we have 9,235,411 cases of ELECTION FRAUD!
@IceBlueBeard LMAO.That's why Putin has helped the economy and middle class grow every year unlike your wonderful "American freedom" believing presidents.
@AvtoMashna It's true that he has done a good job fixing Yeltsins mess but, doesn't take very much to be a better leader when your predecessor was drunk 24/7.
Still, i respect Putin alot but it is very clear that there was something fishy about these elections. Also the last presidential elections...
@AvtoMashna So it's okay to be repressed, if the dictator does some helpful things? Wake up man, you are living in a fascist country without any human rights.
@Kooshkff Here are things you should consider. Can anybody run in the presidential campaign? Are you allowed to criticize the government publicly without being killed, like Khadzhimurad Kamalov? Are elections without ballot stuffing? If any of these are answered no you are living in a fascist country.
@Kooshkff What! are you brainwashed? Wake up man. Try to think a bit more critically. Don't believe everything you read in the government newspapers, especially some hero stories of Putin, ye right he just happened to be exactly where a tiger got loose and saved the day.
Let me ask you. How would you feel if Iceland said screw you people, we're bailling out the banks and you are going to pay for it. (and then we're going to send our dumbest boys out into the world and make the rest of your countrymen look like war mongering jerks?)
My lack of patriotism is my country's own doing. I also don't appreciate being called brain washed. Because I'd have to be brainwashed in order to ignore what is blatantly obvious.
Well the Icelandic people do have to pay for the downfall of its privatized banks, because we had a totally inept government. Look up Icesave for the mess. At least Icelanders threw out the last inept government but the people in US seem to continue to want to vote Republican. It's like they are masochist and like to have their rights stripped away and their money wasted on useless wars.
We have a democratic president at the moment. But he's seemingly a closet republican. He's even brought us to war without the approval of the congress. What does that tell you about what my vote means?
@Kooshkff implying that dems are peacenics and republicans are warmongers might be understating the problem. a republican, ike, warned us of the military industrial complex. nixon was elected on the promiss of ending the war in viatnam. and clinton had us involved in wars allover the world. i think a problem is that americans only hold our politicians acountable when they belong to the opposite party. voter need to stop woshiping our parties like basketball teams and pretending not to see fouls
Clinton had the US involved in wars all over the world? Didn't he turn the budget deficit into a budget surplus by scaling down US military expenditure?
In my opinion it's all a part of social engineering. They are using left and right wing politics to grab certain groups of people and pit them against each other. The republicans and democrats have circus and in they go behind the curtain and shake hands for a job well done. In the end everyone is screwed except for the people who pay for the circus. >_<
"Well, time to choose who runs against me. Uuhhh... that dog over there. No. Not that one. The mangy, scrawny one chewing off it's own fur. But make sure you rough it up a bit before it makes a public appearance."
Putin is a creation of the post-communist tyrannical capitalistic society, him holding power is itself proof of his and their system's corruption. More for the wealthy less for the working and poor, it's the same everywhere, they just take different routes to the end game. Russia is beyond being fixed, look at the US, freedoms, guns, representatives fro each state, free but failed media, and we can't even bust out our mess. Russia has no chance, never has.
This just shows that anti-Putin propaganda so widely spread among American public that even, so called, alternative voices are basically playing the same tune when it comes to smears, lies and anti-Putin slant across US msm. Putin hatred manufactured by years of disgusting propaganda the type Cenk Uygur just engaged in, trained masses in a nearly uniform belief that Putin is a 'bad guy'.
@slavixtube And that's where you're wrong. I know a lot of people from Russia and most of them don't like Putin. Not because they buy into anti-Putin propaganda, but because the standard of living simply hasn't changed that much. Wages/salaries go up, but so does the cost of living
Well I know many more Russians who think Putin is one of the greatest leader Russia has ever had. Russia's economy more than doubled in last decade, pensions were tripled in real terms, middle class more than doubled, gov debts were paid off and 3rd largest reserves in the world were accumulated. Real wages have been rising about 15% per year 2000-2008. Russia is a much more prosperous country thanks to Putin.
That guy who is telling you this story is just making it up. Putin was even on the fucking ballot, so any your bull shit allegations that videos supposedly show Putin ballots is bogus. This was a Duma elections where parties are seeking 450 seats. Medvedev was head of the Unite Russia party list. Putin is running in march for president. Make up you bull shit correctly next time.
United Russia, the vile monster of rampant post-Cold War nationalism.
.
Yet Putin, for all his undemocratic activities and harsh tone, gave stability and prosperity to more Russians than the drunkard preceding him could ever imagine.
.
I don't think he should run again, but I won't dismiss what Putin did for his country in terms of stabilizing it, throwing out the oligarchs, and facing wackos like George Bush head on.
We all know what's going on here. Putin is retaining his preferred power structure with some shady tactics. But to keep it in perspective, albeit not completely democratic, Russia has done great under Putin (GDP up over 70% & poverty down by more than 50% over 9 years).
The major opposition is the communist party so fuck 'em. Rather have Putin than BS communists.
Even if he did rig votes, why would he admit to it? Who in the right mind ever did that? Honestly! Can anyone name a single person who came to power who admitted that he did something wrong?
@audadvnc Clearly you're not familiar with the political climate in Russia, even after the Cold War ended. It's been a military state. Corruption is so deep and ruthless that the people don't speak out because they're taken away in the night. Reporters have been killed in broad daylight for what they've said against the corruption in Russian politics.
And another Russian journalist was murdered the other day. When a journalist criticizes the government and they get murdered, it doesnt take a detective to figure out who is behind it.
Actually the Russian presidents sit for 6 years now, something Putin as prime minister put in place. So when he wins in 2012 he can sit for 2 consecutive terms, which equals 12 years.
And yet, Russia's GDP has more than doubled since Putin's rise to power, even though it had been falling for a decade when he was first elected. Just saying.
@Lexoka dude the story is about corruption in russian election, as much as you guys wanna blindly hate on north america, atleast we have fair election and freedom of speech in most states. putin is a corrupt fsb or kgb bastard, my friend lived in russia for 11 years and she said there is no such thing as fair journalism in russia. now go back to watching "RT" or shall i russian state television for fair and balance(no difference between foxnews and russia today)
Putin unfortunately will be in power for a little while longer, even with the bare majority of United Russia he'll try something to get him all the power he wants, democracy is very shaky in the former soviet union.
USA has gerrymander electoral boundaries. Does not have paper ballot like the rest of the western world & all the politicians are in the hands of the corporate elite. Voter disenfranchisement is rampant along with court injunctions and ballot tampering has occurred. Look in your own backyard first before singling out the Russians for special mention. And yes Putin and his party are corrupt lying shits but they are not the only ones!
come on. your just being ignorant. ask an russian and they will tell you under putin and medvedev (after Jelcin d drunk puppet of US) did good to restore russia. russia is miles ahead of what it was 10-15 years ago. so give him some credit
im not defending him or any1 else. i would love to see more democracy and more strong russia. and i doubt his party cheated SO MUCH it swayed the public opinion. who do you want to win? nationalists? comunists? i think the polls mach the public opinion
@XxMzt4RVLCNRYxX cenk is speaking about corruption in russia, he extensively covers corruption in mainstream media in america, stop being a little bitch when he is critisizing russia, you guys don't even have fair elections lol
The only reason the US wants to claim Putin cheated is because he made Russia's economy so much stronger than the US one. "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY "!!!

They should learn from America on how to run a corrupt election. Florida 2000, anyone?

@audadvnc Clearly you're not familiar with the political climate in Russia, even after the Cold War ended. It's been a military state. Corruption is so deep and ruthless that the people don't speak out because they're taken away in the night. Reporters have been killed in broad daylight for what they've said against the corruption in Russian politics.

Let's face it: Putin is simply the Capo di tutti capi in Russia.
There is as much chance of democracy occurring in a beehive than it happening in Russia under Putin.

Actually the Russian presidents sit for 6 years now, something Putin as prime minister put in place. So when he wins in 2012 he can sit for 2 consecutive terms, which equals 12 years.

@Lexoka dude the story is about corruption in russian election, as much as you guys wanna blindly hate on north america, atleast we have fair election and freedom of speech in most states. putin is a corrupt fsb or kgb bastard, my friend lived in russia for 11 years and she said there is no such thing as fair journalism in russia. now go back to watching "RT" or shall i russian state television for fair and balance(no difference between foxnews and russia today)

Putin unfortunately will be in power for a little while longer, even with the bare majority of United Russia he'll try something to get him all the power he wants, democracy is very shaky in the former soviet union.

USA has gerrymander electoral boundaries. Does not have paper ballot like the rest of the western world & all the politicians are in the hands of the corporate elite. Voter disenfranchisement is rampant along with court injunctions and ballot tampering has occurred. Look in your own backyard first before singling out the Russians for special mention. And yes Putin and his party are corrupt lying shits but they are not the only ones!
