    I was going through the Wikileaks Pedosta e-mails and this one caught my attention. The Hillary campaign refers to Hillay as their "fearless leader."

    Democrats crave dictators to tell them (and everyone else) what to do.

    No offense but your calibration is off. Being a Hillary supporter requires it.

    No offence but YOUR calibration is off. Way off.

    Here is a list of just some of the dictators that Trump has expressed praise for:
    - Saddam Hussein
    - Benito Mussolini
    - Vladimir Putin
    - Moammar Qaddafi

    http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/donald-trump-s-history-praising-dictators-n604801

    When he has praised them, he has praised them for their strength. Not necessarily for what they have done, but for their ability to do those things because of their nature as dictators.

    And BTW I am not a Hillary supporter.

    I find it funny that the Hillary team would call Hillary their "Fearless Leader."

    These are burned out hippies from the 60's, the counter culture movement who grew up with Rocky J. squirrel the flying squirrel and Bullwinkle the Moose. And I suppose Hillary reminds them of the "Fearless Leader" and Huma Abedin as Natasha Fatale and Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta as Boris Badenov.

    Of course the most likely explanation is that whoever wrote that email had no idea of the association that conspiracy-theory Kool-Aid drinking Trump sycophants would draw between the phrase "fearless leader" and the cartoon character that you refer to.

    Much more likely is that he thought she had the positive qualities of a fearless leader.

    It's amusing that the neo-nazi Daily Stormer actually does refer to their reality tv performer as their "Glorious Leader".

    America would be better off if we'd left these secular dictators in power to rule with an iron fist, beating Islamists down.

    Here is a list of just some of the dictators that Trump has expressed praise for:
    - Saddam Hussein
    - Moammar Qaddafi

    This isn't about foreign dictators. It is about electing a potential dictator in the good ole US of A. And in that regard, Trump has shown that he is far more likely to try to be a dictator than Hillary - by praising the dictatorial style of a number of real dictators.

    “ What does Pottsylvania have more than any other country? Mean! We have more mean than any other country in Europe! We must export mean. „
    ~ Quote from the Goof Gas story arc

    Fearless Leader is a recurring antagonist from the animated TV series The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show and the main antagonist of the 2000 film, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

    He is the leader of a criminal group, and is also the boss of Boris and Natasha. Fearless Leader wears a monocle and bears a large scar on his left cheek (although it sometimes changes cheek throughout the series).

    Biography
    Fearless Leader is the dictator of the fictional European nation of Pottsylvania, and the employer of the inept spies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. He could always be found in his underground hideout, "Central Control." However, it seems evident that he did answer to one man himself: the diminutive Mr. Big. Mr. Big appears in two storylines of the series, "Upsidaisium" and "Metal Munching Moon Mice".

    Not much is known about him or how he came to power, as he mostly works behind the scenes giving out orders. According to the Rialto Theater's "Moosebill" or "Downhill: The Musical" (a special table of contents insert created for the DVD box set Rocky and Bullwinkle & Friends, The Third Season) Fearless Leader is one of only three survivors of the ruling clique of Pottsylvania, the other two being Boris Badenov and Mr. Big.

    Personality

    As expected from his given position and name, Fearless Leader is a strict, ruthless character, and often harshly criticizes the incompetence of his main minion Boris. He is distrustful of his own government employees, and is known to carry the Pottsylvania treasury with him wherever he goes. His distrust is not unfounded, as Boris and Natasha have betrayed him before, and one of Pottsylvania's slogans is "double-cross everyone."... http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Fearless_Leader
