People disagree with your government and your policies, and feel they are rather dictatorial and that you are not following the constitution, you are manipulating the electoral process and stealing elections. Russians citizens call you out and speak out against you and you arrest them just for protesting and smear them as fifth columnist spies of the USA as Putin is doing...where else have we seen these smear tactics before??

in other words Puting gives the russian people a choice, either they are with him, or if they oppose him it must be because they are agents of the enemies of Russia. CLASSIC. its almost like all dictators read the same book.

The same technique Bush and the radical right used when they labeled people who disagree with them traitors.
Its called an ad hominem fallacy - when your arguments suck call people mean names - also know as "coultering"

The name of the technique is called the Luxemburger sidekick. It was invented in the city of Luxemburg in 1837 by the president of a poolclub. It was successful since he was reelected three consecutive times.
Have a nice day.

He is using the republican tactic of discrediting the truth speakers.
Too bad ever intelligent person knows it and takes these stupid accusations (which never were mentioned before today) as a sign that like the bushies, they have no credible counter argument.

Autocrats did read the same book. Machiavelli wrote it and its called "The Prince."
You should read it... its about how to turn a free people into willing slaves - and it seems to be very effective.

The similarity is frightening. No one seems to be paying attention.
