History is just lost on some people. I think my favorite expression is "commie fascists".

Yes but they are Russian, and Russians are scary!

Thank you! That one drives me nuts too.

Also, while the first recorded use of czar for a government position was with Wilson, the term really came into common usage with the Nixon administration.

I went into the comments on this image site... WHY did I go in there?

I'm not sure how many are stupid and how many just like to lie. My favorite so far is that the Russian emperor was a tsar and the political position is czar.

*headdesk*

Is the use of a dictionary really that hard?
