US tested new weapon, no meteor in Chelyabinsk Russian LibDem leader
Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the head of the Russian Liberal-Democratic Party, said that no meteor fell in the Urals on Friday the US tested a new weapon over the region, he claimed.
Youre like some primitive tribe. What meteorite? he said, adding that space is a universe that has its own laws. Zhirinovsky is a politician well-known for making similar eccentric statements. When something falls its man-made. People are warmongers and provocateurs, he explained.

FYI:
Despite the party's name, it is frequently described as "neither liberal nor democratic."[8] While the party describes itself as centrist and reformist, it is usually regarded as far-right and is identified with Russian ultranationalism, right-wing populism (or "national populism" and conservativism.[9][10][11] Its ideology is based primarily on Zhirinovsky's ideas of "imperial reconquest" (a "renewed Russian Empire" [12] and authoritarian vision of a 'Greater Russia.'"[11][13]

But I get what you mean, and you are right. In this case, Liberal Democrat party uses words as others did with "National Socialism." He would fit right in with our Republcan Extreme Right.
