RT is Putin/Kremlin TV and Russia one of the WORST PLACES IN THE WORLD for journalists. Maybe the all caps will get it through.

That is: how the Republicans and the "Third Way" Democrats will hammer him if he puts his name in the ring for President.

Simply for appearing on RT, he, like Thom Hartmann, will be attacked. Perhaps called a "Putinista" by someone who has no appreciation for Augusto César Sandino so who thinks alliterating with "Sandinista" makes for a pejorative spin. You know, out of a potent mix of jingoism and ignorance.
