I’m gonna give it to Little Liberal Bobby Costas for this:
Russia transcends. Through every stage of its story, it’s resisted any notion of limitation. Through every reinvention, only redoubling its effort to cast the towering presence. The empire that ascended to affirm a colossal footprint. The revolution that birthed one of modern history’s pivotal experiments.
Pivotal experiments? Tell that to all the people Stalin killed in the USSR. Tell that to all the people Mao killed in China. Pivotal experiments? Howza ’bout the Killing Fields of Camnbodia. So was Nazism a pivotal experiment? Communism prolly killed more people that Hitler and the people who had to live under it, as well as the people who are currently living under it in places like North Korea, Zimbabwe, and Cuba, live in misery. Pivotal experiments? A disastrous experiment. And then we have assholes like you, Costas, who think we should be living under it now.
Here’s your award.

Libs love Uncle Joe, it fits the whole idea of beneficent dictator.
Cold blooded killer I call it.
Good choice, Denny. This sucker has deserved one for years, so this is as good a reason as any.
Yea, verily, he truly is an asshole. Was that pathetic piece of pablumic prose written for him or did he go off script and wing it himself? Or did he stay up all night carefully composing it and rehearsing it in front of a mirror? Maybe that’s why his eyes are red.
It was only a “pivotal experiment” if it changed history and we learned from it. Actually, it changed nothing and nobody learned anything, and that’s why history keeps repeating itself.
A “useful idiot” indeed.
I wonder if little Bobby Costas ever read any of Solzhenitsyns works. How Joe Stalin enslaved five million of his citizens on trumped up charges so he could cut timber and mine gold in Siberia. How he used slaves on starvation rations to build dams and power plants. Stalin killed more Russians during World War ii than the German Army did. In the thirties Stalin let as many as a million of his people starve in Ukraine while he exported wheat from there. A million Tartars exiled to Siberia, dumped off the rail road and told to fend for themselves. Or the 100 thousand Zeks that went to mine gold and died in the mines? I’ll bet not. I doubt Costas ever read a book that did not have the word “SPORT” in the title. He knows all about sports except how to play them. He sure as hell knows nothing about history, guns, or anything else and he should keep his pie hole shut so as not to expose his ignorance to us, or us to his ignorance.
