CNN's Paul Begala: US 'Under Attack,' May Have to 'Blow Up' Russian Intelligence

CNN commentator and longtime Clinton family ally Paul Begala said Wednesday that the U.S. ought to be debating retaliation for Russia's reported interference in the 2016 election.

"No patriotic American should subvert an election, with a hostile foreign power. That is what Donald Trump Jr. agreed to do, with Mr. Kushner and Mr. Manafort in the meeting.

"We were and are under attack by a hostile foreign power, and they seem to be abetting that hostile foreign power," Begala told Anderson Cooper, according to Real Clear Politics.

"We should be debating how many sanctions we should place on Russia, or whether we should blow up the KGB or GSU, GRU. We should be retaliating massively. By the way, if I were a Trump supporter, I would want to retaliate massively because it has tainted his victory."

Although the KGB was replaced by the FSB after the fall of the Soviet Union, the other agencies Begala listed are part of Russian intelligence.

The Washington Free Beacon was quick to dig up a tweet from Begala in 2012, in which he mocked then-Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for calling Russia a major threat.

@PaulBegala

POTUS nails Mitt for saying Russia our #1 geostrategic threat. "The 1980's called. They want their foreign policy back." Bam!

Absolutely. When @POTUS mocked Romney in 2012 for saying Russia was top threat, I cheered. @POTUS was wrong. I was wrong. Mitt was right.

As always, the most fascinating part of investigating rightard media's latest case of the hyperventilating vapors is how much cyber-space is dominated by websites that manage to make money spoon feeding prejudices back to their Deplorable herd. You don't see liberals needing this kind of validation. You do see page after page of rightard propaganda sites posting a 30-second snippet to support misleading headlines, confident their kamikaze katapulters will persevere through previous humiliations to dive bomb reality yet again.

Fact is, in a bit of hyperbole, Begala did one clause about "blowing up" Russian intelligence agencies as part of being astounded at how trump fluffers, nutjobs who spent their whole lives believing Russia is the Great Satan, desperately defending their feckless leader being Putin's bitch.
 
"We were and are under attack by a hostile foreign power, and they seem to be abetting that hostile foreign power," Begala told Anderson Cooper, according to Real Clear Politics.

Begala's words speak for themselves.
He pulls out TrumpLand's actual cooperation/abetting w/Russian actors from nowhere
while mimicking John McCain's unfocused/full bore "retaliation" Russiaphobic reaction

I suppose, as an alternative, you could go with the trump every fact-checking site labelled as the biggest liar in a field of 19 candidates, because your idea of a president is someone who TWITters sleaze at people you don't like.

Trump is a man who says what he means and feels, unlike Obama refusing to say radical Islamic terrorist while peoples heads are being sawed off.

No, I understand. You are so easily frightened you believe a pampered, flabby, septuagenarian brat will protect you from the herds of boogey men out to get you. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

So you believe in the "boogey man"

A delusion of grandeur is the fixed, false belief that one possesses superior qualities such as genius, fame, omnipotence, or wealth. It is most often a symptom of schizophrenia, but can also be a symptom found in psychotic or bipolar disorders, as well as dementia (such as Alzheimer’s).

People with a delusion of grandeur often have the conviction of having some great but unrecognized talent or insight. They may also believe they have made some important discovery that others don’t understand or appreciate.




Less commonly, the individual may have the delusion of having a special relationship with a prominent person (such as being an adviser to the President). Or the person may believe that actually are a very prominent and important person, in which case the actual person may be regarded as an imposter.

Grandiose delusions may have religious content, such as the person believes he or she has received a special message from God or another deity.

Sometimes, in popular language, this disorder may be known as “megalomania,” but is more accurately referred to as narcissistic personality disorder if it is a core component of a person’s personality and identity. In such disorders, the person has a greatly out-of-proportion sense of their own worth and value in the world. People with this issue can also sometimes have a taste for the finer, more extravagant things in life.

Sometimes drug use or abuse can intensify or bring on episodes of delusion of grandeur. People who take phencyclidine (PCP) or amphetamines are especially at risk. People who are high and experience a delusion of grandeur may be at increased risk for physically harmful behavior. For instance, if you believe you are capable of flying after taking PCP, and try to jump off a 10-story building based upon that false belief, you may be at serious risk of death.
