"Marxmail"? (in DNC clothing trying to slam socialism with twisted analysis), like Nora O'Donnell (who muscled her way in as anchor of CBS news) opening Friday CBS Evening News with "breaking news": Tulsi Gabbard has been identified as a Russian asset with their attempt to interfere again in the 2020 election (I'm paraphrasing), picking up I suppose with the NYT report of Hillary's slander of Tulsi and Jill Stein as Russian assets and hanging out with Assad, in a feeble attempt to test the waters for what I suspect is her leap into the Democratic primary (release of a new book is the sure sign). She picked the wrong targets to malign; Tulsi,responded with a beautiful description of Hillary's political foibles with a perfect barrage. Did Hill think she could smear a couple of fringe potential enemies to avenge her past or present defeats with slanderous invective? Did she really think tarring them red would stick? Apparently it did, at least momentarily with the MSM and loyal feminist Hillary supporters, guilty themselves with spreading the slander as fact (more of Trump's "fake news"). <br><br>Midge <br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: David Green via Peace-discuss <peace-discuss@lists.chambana.net><br>To: Robert Naiman <naiman.uiuc@gmail.com><br>Cc: Peace-discuss List <peace-discuss@lists.chambana.net><br>Sent: Fri, Oct 18, 2019 4:46 pm<br>Subject: Re: [Peace-discuss] Hillary smears Tulsi as "Russian asset"<br><br></div><div id="yiv9272991874"><div><div dir="ltr">Look at what the "Oakland Socialist" says, also a link on the Marxmail website: <div><br clear="none"></div><div><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Syria, Tulsi Gabbard and red-brown alliance<br clear="none"></strong>One of the most spirited subjects to be discussed was foreign policy, specifically Syria, and here is where the truly dangerous nature of Tulsi Gabbard emerged. All the candidates but her strongly condemned Trump’s actions. While Gabbard mildly criticized it, her main point was to call for an end to “the regime change war that we are waging in Syria”. She repeated this phrase – “regime change wars” – time and again. This is the term the overt and covert Assad supporters use. They claim that the revolt in Syria is just a US effort at regime change. Along the way, they dismiss or ignore Assad’s absolutely criminal repression. So Gabbard was making a dog whistle to them. (At least Biden attacked her for this lie of hers.)</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span><span style="font-size: large;">The issue of Syria is the key nexus where the “left” and the far right, including outright fascists, meet, and Tulsi Gabbard is playing the role of the magnet for this tendency within the Democratic Party. She seems to be very conscious of that, as she was the only one to be fairly restrained also when the issue of a woman’s right to choose, a woman’s control over her own body, came up. In the few minutes allotted to her, Gabbard chose to talk against third trimester abortions. Regardless of whether she is right or not, this again is a dog whistle for the anti-abortion crowd.</span></span></p></div></div><br clear="none"><div class="yiv9272991874gmail_quote"><div class="yiv9272991874yqt2475066719" id="yiv9272991874yqt79614"><div class="yiv9272991874gmail_attr" dir="ltr">On Fri, Oct 18, 2019 at 4:38 PM Robert Naiman via Peace-discuss <<a href="mailto:peace-discuss@lists.chambana.net" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:peace-discuss@lists.chambana.net">peace-discuss@lists.chambana.net</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></div><blockquote class="yiv9272991874gmail_quote" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid;"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><br clear="none"></div><div><div><span></span><div>Tulsi hits back: <br clear="none"></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/1185289626409406464" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" shape="rect">https://mobile.twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/1185289626409406464</a></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div><div><img width="460" height="563" alt="image.png" src="cid:oTriIMFu343umzkDBGRT" yahoo_partid="1.3"></div></div><span></span><div dir="ltr"><div><div><br clear="none"></div></div></div></div></div></div><br clear="none"><div class="yiv9272991874gmail_quote"><div class="yiv9272991874gmail_attr" dir="ltr">On Fri, Oct 18, 2019 at 1:06 PM Robert Naiman <<a href="mailto:naiman.uiuc@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:naiman.uiuc@gmail.com">naiman.uiuc@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></div><blockquote class="yiv9272991874gmail_quote" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid;"><div dir="ltr"><div class="yiv9272991874gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div><br clear="none"></div><div>This is breathtaking.
