The Ramped Up Smear Campaign Against Hawai’i’s Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard
Maui Independent ^ | Jan 16 2019 | Jon Woodhouse

Posted on 02/04/2019 5:57:47 PM PST by rintintin

Within days of Tulsi Gabbard announcing her plan to run for president last week, a smear campaign moved into high gear. It’s almost as if there’s a coordinated, orchestrated campaign to derail her as so called progressive medial outlets have unleashed a torrent of attacks.

Clinton booster and DNC chairman emeritus unleashed the latest verbal assault on January 17 on CNN’s New Day show. The Hill headlined its coverage: “Howard Dean to CNN: All Dem candidates qualified to be president except Tulsi Gabbard.” After telling CNN that he thought centrist Democrat Joe Biden was “a good guy,” he bad-mouthed Gabbard, saying, “I don’t think she knows what she’s doing and she’s not qualified.”

Liberal sites like The Intercept and Honolulu’s Civil Beat have all joined in the assault, while Rolling Stone quickly published a critique by a pro-Hillary, former Newsweek journalist proclaiming – “Tulsi Gabbard’s Campaign May Be Over Before It started.” A sub head claimed, “The congresswoman from Hawaii’s past is filled with anti-LGBTQ activism, calls for bombing Syria and endorsing torture.”

Oh dear, a “smear campaign.” We’ve never had one of those before.

Gabbard is the only SANE candidates amongst the announced ‘RATS. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised at an “accidental” drowning while surfing in her future.

The gays hate her.

So the MSM said she’s in league with the Russians.

Just seemed like a few decades ago when Dems loved the Soviet Russians.

Nah, she does not think civilians should own the dreaded black rifles.

Her belief that homos can be cured it funny. Drives them nuts.

“Won’t someone tell her she’s in the wrong party”

Too funny, she is a leftists, hiding behind a Military Uniform. She couldn’t get voted Dog Catcher in Hawaii if she had and an “R” next to her name on the ballot.

Thanks rintintin. This is one of those, "you've made your bed, so continue to lie in it, and from it, since you're a Democrat" moments.

This isn’t a case of dms ripping each other up. It’s all thecDems hanging up against just one candidate - Tulsi - because she’s not pro-war. Notice Howard Dean said any Dem candidate would be fine, except Tulsi

You people need to quit buying this line.

She is a leftist. She’s anti 2A, tax and spend, pro feminism. She presents as considerably more sane than most leftists, but that doesn’t change the fact that she is a LEFTIST.

They all ripped up “Beto” too. Left wingers have been going after Warren hard for the Native American nonsense. They have been going after Kamala Harris for being too tough on crime. They’ve got massive complaints about everyone except AOC.
