[Peace-discuss] Hillary smears Tulsi as "Russian asset"

[David Green]

Look at what the "Oakland Socialist" says, also a link on the Marxmail
website:


*Syria, Tulsi Gabbard and red-brown alliance*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.)

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.
