A scuffle between lawmaker of Ukraine Oleh Lyashko and First Vice Speaker Adam Martynyuk took place in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
The scuffle took place in the session hall of the Verkhovna Rada during a discussion of one of the issues when out-factional lawmaker Lyashko asked First Vice Speaker Martynyuk to let him deliver a speech.
(h/t Huffington Post)
O. Lyashko started outraging A. Martynyuk, in particular he named him a Pharisee.
A. Martynyuk snatched O. Lyashko and threw him over doors to the presidium.
Lawmakers from the Party of Regions and the CPU run up to them and stopped the scuffle.

Posted on May 21, 2011 at 5:11pmThe Soviet Union is now called Russia. Russia has a stockpile of atomic nuclear weapons sufficient to mount a devastating attack on America, China, India and Cuba at the same time if they wanted.
Report Post »The Russian military is now close with China and Iran and they have every intention to take advantage of our wingless president Barack Hussein Obama.
Russia and Iran will soon overrun Iraq and Saudi Arabia with little or no consistent push back from America.
As their aircrews bomb the Saudi sands the Arab world will pounce on Israel. The inevitable Arab spring that Obama supports will force unexpected changes as the Communist military forces of Russia and the Islamic Desert rats of Iran divide up old Persia Empire.
Our bases in the Middle East will be destroyed and our modern U.S. Air Force will fight back harshly but we will fail.
The oil production of the entire world will be controlled by Russian and Iran and the heavy reduction in oil to America will finish what Obama has started.

Posted on May 21, 2011 at 3:10pmJewish led Communists killed 20 million Ukrainians in the mid 1930′s. Of course, those were atheists of Khazarian extraction, with nothing to do with Judaism, besides their parents probably having been religious Jews. Just as every problem in the world is now blamed on Muslims (while Jewish bankers lift your wallet), then the Ukrainians only saw Jews ordering their slaughter. To be called a Pharisee is probably quite an insult. Christ called them the synagogue of satan, because even 2000 years ago, they were rewriting the word of God for their own political uses.

Posted on May 21, 2011 at 11:16amBTW a Pharisee in the Bible was considered extreamly prideful. They thought they were better than everone else and the were the ruling class. Pharisee killed many Christians back then because they belived them to be spreading heresy. The Bible says they would stand in front of the temple and make big huge payer to show everyone how great they were and make a spectical of themselfs. They hawty and not at all humble. I called peopl Pharisees before and it was in no way a compliment. So perhaps this is what he ment, and why he was choked.

Posted on May 21, 2011 at 12:19pmThere were Pharisees and there were Pharisees. Not all were “whited sepulchres.” Some were the nit-pickers and hair-splitters of the Christian tradition, but others like Hillel taught a simple ethics not too different from that of Jesus. What set their teeth on edge about Jesus was that he refused to “cite sources,“ or claim any authority for what he said other than ”I say unto you.” He had not had the proper rabbinical training, had not sat at the feet of any master from whom he had absorbed the oral tradition. He was practicing without a license, without having paid his union dues.

Posted on May 21, 2011 at 5:40pmPaul was a Pharisee too.The Sadducees were in charge of the temple back in the time of Christ. (the High priest office could be bought,sounds like today) The Sadducees did not believe in angels,or a resurrection.(I think Liberal’Socialist_Atheist_Not so Critical_ Thinker is a Sadducee?) When they found out that Lazarus was raised from the dead, they wanted to kill him.With three words, Jesus destroyed their credibility. He said,”Lazarus come forth.”And for this, they wanted him dead again.Sadducees must have been the Liberals of their day!

Posted on May 21, 2011 at 8:54pmSomewhat analogous to Pharisees in modern times are the cultural and political elite, who slam the likes of Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, whose plain talk and common sense bucks their authority. The aristocracy can’t have control over people who can live their lives without the dictates of those who “know what is best” for them — whether it’s what food their kids can eat, the need for a gas station attendant to have a license, or what the borders of a sovereign nation should be.

Posted on May 21, 2011 at 11:57amRemember that this is the Nation in which the Holodomor was carried out. 7-10 million Ukranian peasants were starved to death by Jewish Bolsheviks. They had their farms, grains and livestock all confiscated by the Soviet.. The Soviet even began exporting grains during this time while the Christian people of the Ukraine were litterally starved to death. Even worse there was not even a War going on during this time.. 1931-1933. The term Pharisee is not what you want to be called in the Ukraine.. lol
Oh you’ve never heard of the Holodomor?? Mr Speilberg and Weinstein haven’t made any Hollywood productions concerning the Holodmor? Say it isn’t so… lol I wonder why. Hey, they were just poor Christian peasants right? Who really gives a damn about them eh?

Posted on May 21, 2011 at 10:59amYou do know that in 1856 Senator Preston Smith Brooks beat down Senator Charles Sumner with his cane in the middle of the senate?
So it’s best not to think we are so much better than them. Of corse Sumner imo deserved it, but still it can happen to anyone if the right button is pushed. In matter of fact I wish we still had those days when if someone insulted your family you could do something about it. It made people think twice before doing so because there were consequences for such things. Today people can say what ever they want about anything basically and you have to sit there and let it happen, and after they drag your family threw the mudd they get to walk away light as a feather.
