So, if Russia does it it's bad. But if the Dems do it, it's OK?
------------------
A new bombshell report released on Wednesday night alleges that Democrats used "similarly deceptive tactics" in the Alabama Senate race last year as Russia used in the 2016 elections.

"The secret project, carried out on Facebook and Twitter, was likely too small to have a significant effect on the race, in which the Democratic candidate it was designed to help, Doug Jones, edged out the Republican, Roy S. Moore," The New York Times reported.

The Times notes that the methods implored by Democrats concern some who fear that they "taint elections in the United States."

Both are wrong... but considering Russia is considered an enemy of the state your comparison is faulty.

Some obscure obtuse web site. Enough said.

When did they become an enemy of the state? Was it before or after the 2012 election? Clarification is needed.

The original article is from the obscure obtuse NYTimes:

Secret Experiment in Alabama Senate Race Imitated Russian Tactics

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/19/u...es-russia.html

Years ago all this stuff would be called dirty tricks or smear attacks.

I would say the Democratic party is far more of an "enemy of the state" than Russia. They certainly have done far more to harm this nation and our citizens.

I'm not sure why this story is a surprise. The Dems hired a foreign operative to fabricate a fake dossier to release to the press and influence a presidential election in '16. This is little different.

Russia is an enemy? So why did Hillary and Obama sell them 20% of US uranium? Liberals are a bigger enemy to America than Russia is.

Maybe the truth is the dems didn't copy Russia, maybe it was the dems all along.

Enemy of the state? That's what Mitt Romney said in 2012 and Obama-media ridiculed him for it.
