So much on TV lately about what a great man Putin is and all of it on Fox News!

“What the hell is wrong with these people?” Stewart asked “What happened to these people as children that has enabled this love/hate relationship with authoritarian figures and the inherent cognitive dissonance that goes along with such a schism?”

Anyone care to provide links to what John Stewart is claiming? I really would like to see them for myself before I form an opinion.

Thanks.

I don't watch FOX entertainment News and I sure don't get my News from a comedian. I haven't heard anyone praise Putin myself but like i said I don't watch entertainment News.

Maybe they recognize actual leadership, even if they don't agree with the goals? Unlike our Peirson's Puppeteer, his excellency the Hindmost, leading from well behind.

PUTIN VS OBAMA

Besides the fact that Putin is a man's manly man and Obama is a mincing girlie girl who acts like a girl, there's one more difference between them that must account for why so many American conservatives rhapsodize about Putin's leadership qualities. Can't quite put my finger on it, though.

Watch the video, his claims are backed by many clips from Fox News.

Well I watched the video and other than the comment that Mayor Giuliani made every thing else was so cut and paste who knows what the actual context the remarks were in.

Watching that one could surmise that Fox is balanced in their opinion of the President.

A better question would be, why are progressives/leftists perpetuating this claim? I've heard Putin called a thug by conservatives more than anything else. So how about stopping this exaggeration, faux outrage, and Obama-victimization.
