Kasparov the neo-conservative - part 2
I have more information that is useful in regard to Kasparov's neo-conservative views.
The following link demonstrates that Kasparov had such views LONG BEFORE the current office holder became President of Russia. I think this is important because there is this personalization of politics - Putin as Hitler, literally - that disguises the general Russophobia behind it all.
What we see here is that even when Mikhail Gorbachev was Russian leader, Kasparov displayed the same, xenophobic attitude characteristic of neo cons. It really doesn't matter who is in office. Kasparov just wants bad things to happen to Russia. Which explains why he could never get elected - to any public office - in that country.
The leopard truly cannot change his spots.
Have at it. lol.
A neo-con in 1991 and still a neo con. oh yeah.
With whom does Kasparov associate with today?
Russophobes exposed.
The old thread is over here ...

In a major public address this evening, Garry Kasparov — the World Chess Champion and champion of democracy in the former Soviet Union — expressed grave concerns about the anti-democratic effects of continued U.S. and Western support for Mikhail Gorbachev and Moscow center. Noting that “[while] Soviet communism is dead … its advocates are still very powerful in the West,” Kasparov urged Washington and its allies to provide humanitarian aid and technical advice to the Soviet people — but no financial assistance to the Soviet central authorities.
As Anatoly Karlin wrote your blog is indeed the new La Russophobe Exposed, and is in fact a far better site.
Suspected members or contributors to the La Russophobe ‘we':
1) Catherine Fitzpatrick – Minding Russia
Pros: Same New York location, same screeching moralistic style, and formerly worked for Ford and Soros funded foundations (historically, all too frequent cutouts for U.S. government activities in USSR and CIS) while writing for RFE/RL. Claims Paul Goble as a friend, which would explain why LR republishes him almost more than any other single writer. Writers ranging from U of H (colleague of Craig Pirrong aka Streetwise Professor? Why so many Russophobes in Houston?) Professor Paul R. Gregory to Georgetown Law Professor Ethan S. Burger all pretend to have no knowledge of who LR is while giving her lots of content. At the very least these fellows must have an inkling of LR’s real identity. The LR = Fitzpatrick theory would also go a long way towards explaining why Oleg Kozlovsky published on LR despite the site’s documented anti-Russian racism. The same foundations that fund Catherine also fund Mr. Kozlovsky’s trips to New York and D.C.
Cons: Why risk public reputation to maintain her Google-bombing alter ego? Moonlighting for more money to live in Manhattan? And how to square LR’s often laughably ignorant statements about American politics (i.e. Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan, libertarians and paleocons respectively who are often guests on mainstream networks = former KKK leader David Duke) and GMT posting schedule which suggest more a Berezovsky-linked Brit than an American?
2) Jamestown Foundation
Pros: aka Prometheanism R Us! Exposed in the eXile as a place for any self-proclaimed journalist with a grudge against the Russian Empire to set up shop. Began in the 1980s as an old folks home for U.S. agencies to park their KGB/GRU defectors who needed some income and an outlet for their ramblings. Was directly criticized by the Russian government for promoting Chechen separatism. Linked to American Council for Peace in Chechnya. Probably not going to be happy if Russians start speaking to pro-Texan or Alaskan separatist groups in retaliation.
Cons: Difficult to see what the cons might be for Jamestown in throwing a few bucks LR’s way.
3) Orion Strategies Group/Randy Scheunemann pro-Georgia lobby
Pros: LR has cooperated with this set in the past, promoting the website RevokeTheGames.com, which was registered by a company linked to West Coast conservative talk radio host Hugh Hewitt who frequently hosts neocon talking heads like Max Boot and Center for Security Policy chief Frank Gaffney on his show (Garry Kasparov also appeared on the CSP’s page).
Cons: The Georgia lobby has plenty of other websites such as georgiadaily.com to promote their message, and may have moved on.
