Dec 29th, 2016 - 07:00 am - Link - Report abuse +2This is the character of the K supporters who do not respect democracy.
They are using their same tactics of intimidation they used while Evita K was in power.
I wonder how many are the followers of Sala - paid K thugs !!

I do not know anybody of that name. Sorry.
Why Kamerad/Komrade Rique, (admittedly possibly a false name assumed when you apparently became an agent/ 5th columnist in the functional democracy we know as Canada two decades and a half ago,) I certainly am well aware that you applaud political violence, as long as it serves your purposes.Remember accusing me of what Pinochet did?I told you bot Peron and Pinochet were disgraces. You continued to extol Peron. You are the kind of individual that would announce improvements to a Buenos Aires Hospital, and then use the construction to add a basement with cells and torture facilities. Then you would cycle union leaders, teachers and students through it, implicating doctors in healing them for more torture.. I do hope this enlightens you to my view of you. I can see you with the smile on your pic, Skullface, standing over a victim, electrode in hand. You left permanently for a reason. :)
Dec 29th, 2016 - 09:02 am - Link - Report abuse +2Only 7 Arrested!!... That means there are still 3 Quebracho on the loose in RGland!!!
Dec 29th, 2016 - 09:15 am - Link - Report abuse +4Did anyone else notice that in all the flag burnings on the wharves in BA and Ushuaia and outside the British embassy etc there were always just the same handful of thugs involved and always the same rather heavily built bloke out in front?
There are rumours that the Kirchner supporters are planning a coup and to sweeten the attempt they will mount an operation to retake the Falklands in September 2017. Mind you, they couldn't even sail a yacht to the islands. The big waves scared them apparently.
Dec 29th, 2016 - 10:01 am - Link - Report abuse +4So long as the argies continue throwing rocks at one another and running their economy into the ground, they'll be too busy to send another rusty camporista sailboat or their last leaky Zodiac towards Stanley.

Googling is 'almost' like living there, isn't it?
If I'd referenced cutters, sinkers, curves, forks, knuckles or spit the anglophiles wouldn't have had a point of reference.
Dec 29th, 2016 - 03:45 pm - Link - Report abuse -2So Conway - you just hang onto this stick because you've got the wrong end of it and that seems to be a circumstance that you're well acquainted with.
And by the way it's 9:42, sunny and 35 degrees with a 15mph wind out of the NNW.
Do the arithmetic, dumbass.

Yep, that's just it - you're playing to an audience and adopting “reference points” for others.
Fake
Conway, you seem pretty confident of where I'm not.
Dec 29th, 2016 - 05:03 pm - Link - Report abuse -2Is that correct?

Dec 30th, 2016 - 02:42 am - Link - Report abuse +2Seven arrested, only another 14M bat-shit mad Peronistas to go then?
Dec 30th, 2016 - 01:03 pm - Link - Report abuse -2Ah, the dumb-fucks of Argentina: no hope for the future unless something drastic is done to pursued them to see the error of their ways.
@ Bat-shit Mad ChrisR
Dec 30th, 2016 - 02:46 pm - Link - Report abuse +1So dumb about your neighbours. Peronism is not a political party but a cultural phenomenon. You seem to confuse Kirchnerism with Peronism.
Why not try to educate yourself about your neighbours? Why not be a really brave boy and visit Argentina? You might realise that your nasty, pejorative statements about them are quite wrong. The majority are great people and the ones that support Kirchnerism do so for a reason.
@EB “Peronism is not a political party but a cultural phenomenon. ”
Dec 30th, 2016 - 04:23 pm - Link - Report abuse +4Según los argentos: ”El Partido Justicialista (PJ, también conocido como Partido Peronista o Peronismo) es un partido político argentino fundado por el general Juan Domingo Perón.“
PJ/Peronismo is both a political party and a social/cultural notion. It's a big tent and big enough to include factions that periodically tend to literally murder one another. To change the metaphor, it has and has had many flavours, from Menemismo to Kircherismo and worse. It has as many strains as those of pathogenic bacteria, and the comparison is exquisitely useful since evil things tend to mutate. It's rare to find a corrupt politician in Argentina who does not cleverly identify with peronismo. In 2003 there were three presidential candidates all representing themselves as PJ: Néstor Kirchner, Menem and Adolfo Rodríguez Saa. The Kirchners ran as PJ and wrapped themselves in peroncho trappings but ”“Kirchner siempre quiso trascender los límites del peronismo”. There are certainly peronists who try to represent that kirchnerists are not true peronists in much the same way that there are US republicans who insist that Trump is not a republican. The embarrassment in both classes of deniers is easy to understand.
Pathological Liar EB
Dec 30th, 2016 - 06:39 pm - Link - Report abuse -2I know the majority are very nice people as I have said on here many times. perhaps your embittered view of the world has blinded you to that.
Anyway, with 40M and only 14M Peronistas I suggest you get your claims aligned with the facts. Ah, that would be the truth though wouldn't it? So no hope with that as long as you live and 'lie'.
Even better, read what somebody who actually LIVES in the country KNOWS about this scum: bit different to your 'opinion' isn't it and the same as mine. Oh dear, has the howling started again in that organ you claim is your brain?
Thanks for the facts, Marti Llazo.
@ ML
Dec 30th, 2016 - 10:04 pm - Link - Report abuse +1That's right, it is not one political party, as I said.
@ Bat-shit crazy ChrisR
I have a great life, thanks. You are the bitter old scrote who spits poison all over the board. You condemn 14m people with you pejorative term but are too scared to go there and see the country for what it is. Sure, it is a developing country with problems but the majority of even the 14 million you condemn are just people wanting the best from life.
If you bothered to go there for yourself, as I have, you would understand why people bought into the lies of the Kirchners. I lived there for months at a time for several years. Not in hotels but in an apartment living life like the locals. Try it. It would give you a greater empathy with people who are not exactly like you.
Of course, you know that I lived in Argentina but choose to lie about it as usual.

I have been corrected by my neighbour:
“Peronism is a disease. ”
