> I notice that when I stand up for something on the political right, I'm often assumed to be a member of the right. I was downright called a "Russian shill" just a few weeks ago. I criticized something Clinton did or said something about "the Russians" campaign. They proceeded to go and dig though my post history and found something 300 some days ago about how I speak Russian, so that was their proof that Putin is sending me a check every month. There is a definite feel lately of "If you criticize my party, then you clearly must be a member of the other party, probably from the most extremist sub-group of it."
