> Also, apparently Mrs. Gabbard's involvement with the SSNP was limited to some US businessman who helped finance her trip, who essentially was buddies with someone, whose cousin knew a guy who was sympathetic to the SSNP. So you're already overstating your case.
This is a straight up lie. She was accompanied on her trip by senior SSNP officials
> To believe otherwise is to believe that the US imperialism in the Middle East is justified and that any group that stands against it, is morally wrong
Of course not, you’d have to be insane to believe this.
- yucky 5y agoIt sounds like you have fallen for some blogger propaganda. Tulsi made powerful enemies when she dared to call out the DNC On their shady bullshit. And with the neocons now more welcome in her party than anti-war people like her, well it was only a matter of time.
- rosndo 5y agoDid she, or did she not travel to Syria with Elie and Bassam Khawam, both of whom are SSNP officials? This should be a reasonably easy claim to refute, except she confirmed it herself…
- yucky 5y agoAre you trying to claim that by going with Congressman Kucinich and two Arab Americans from Ohio that means she is a Nazi? It sounds like you're just trying to make insinuations based on proximity to bad people, similar to how Conservatives branded Obama an anti-semite just because he hung out with Farrakhan. Do you think that made Obama a nazi supporter too? Is there any actual evidence you plan to point to that indicates Tulsi Gabbard is some kind of Nazi? Or are you just demonstrating how that word has been completely rendered useless by people online who use it to describe everyone they don't like? Please provide some kind of evidence beyond a shitty blog post from a DNC mouthpiece.
- rosndo 5y agoI have never suggested that Gabbard is a nazi, I’m not sure where you’re getting that from. I think it’s hilarious that you would compare Farrakhan with SSNP officials. > and two Arab Americans from Ohio Not sure why their nationality matters? There are all kinds of terrible people who hold US passports. Had she been hanging out with the American hero Timothy McVeigh, would that be okay because he was an US citizen?
- yucky 5y ago>Had she been hanging out with the American hero Timothy McVeigh, would that be okay because he was an US citizen? I mean...maybe? It depends, are we judging people based on association now? Is his family and friends now guilty by association?
- dragonwriter 5y agoRep. Gabbard is not an “anti-war person”, she is (fairly explicitly, in her own terms) selectively against those wars she views as “regime change” wars but for those wars she views as “fighting terrorism” wars. If you look at which wars she labels that way, there isn't any evident criteria related to the overt descriptions to match wars to those categories, though they do map pretty well to “wars where US goals oppose current Russian foreign policy interests” and “wars where US goals align with current Russian foreign policy interests”.
- yucky 5y agoDon't just vaguely hint at things, state them explicitly and source your claims.
