What is funny (sad funny, not ha ha funny) is that Senator Graham discusses that Russia supports evil in the world. His examples are: supporting Iran with nuclear weapons, threatening Israel and supporting Syria’s Bashar Assad in the slaughter of Syrians.
.
These are, according to Senator Graham’s logic, hateful, horrible and irresponsible things. Things worthy of contempt. But not, in and of themselves, enough reason to boycott the Olympics.
Now if the Russian Government gives asylum to Snowden, who’s Nazi-esque crime was to tell the American people what their elected representatives are up to, well then they have gone too far! Sure you kill 90,000+ people in Syria – that’s bad, but you know, not Hitler bad. You tell Americans the truth. THAT is Hitler bad. And that is worth boycotting the Olympics over.
In his own words… "If you could go back in time, would you have allowed Adolf Hitler to host the Olympics in Germany? To have the propaganda coup of inviting the world into Nazi Germany and putting on a false front?" Graham said of the Games.
.
"I'm not saying that Russia is Nazi Germany," Graham added, "but I am saying that the Russian government is empowering some of the most evil, hateful people in the world."
And, apparently, the worst of these evil, hateful people is the one that informs the public what the US government is up to.
