Do you have any examples of anyone being jailed for insulting Obama on Facebook?

Are you saying that the story isn't true? That a man wasn't jailed for insulting Putin on Facebook?

Well at least they haven't killed this guy yet.

Does Vladimir Putin kill journalists? | PunditFact

And Putin is the man that 37% of Republicans now view favorably.

Is this question supposed to pass for credible rebuttal in response to Obamas spying and persecution of those who speak truth to his power?
Sorry, no sale.

Not our country and none of our business. The outrage from some is a bit hypocritical given our alliance with Nations who do the exact same thing. Is it only ok when our allies do this exact same thing?

The OP is about a person being jailed for insulting Putin on Facebook. You deflect by saying "but but but Obama!" and throw out accusations about Obama spying and persecuting whistle blowers.

My question to you was simple. Has Obama ever jailed anyone for insulting him?

The answer, obviously, is "no." But you're so blinded by your inexplicable devotion to Trump that because Trump sucks up to Putin, you're willing to overlook Putin's blatant violations of human and civil rights.

It is not Russia, hasn't been part of Russia since 1991. Buzzfeed, really? It's silly. Nothing they publish has any relation with truth.

Where was the left's outrage then? But hay, they are very concerned about what happens in Russia?

It's shocking that people would believe someone who is the epitome of a James Bond villain.
Where are the Republicans who confronted Russia over the decades? Has anyone here
ever talked to a Russian or Ukrainian immigrant who came to the United States and had positive
things to say about Putin?
