Only one presidential candidate on the debate stage last night received an overtly negative question, and that was Tulsi Gabbard. Although she’s already painstakingly addressed the anti-LGBT comments she made as a teenager, and explained how her accumulation of new life experiences caused her to shed views taught her during childhood, Chuck Todd nevertheless saw fit to bring that up issue in front of a national audience being exposed to her for the first time.
The moderators didn’t raise any other candidates’ past “liabilities,” although plenty of them have what one might consider “baggage,” yet they chose to devise a specific question for Gabbard based on comments she made more than 15 years ago, well before she underwent the political and personal evolution that now forms the philosophical foundation for her campaign.
It’s nothing new for NBC News, however, which on the day of her formal announcement speech in February published a pathetic hit piece claiming that Gabbard was supported by the nefarious Russian “botnet,” using analysis derived from the discredited “cybersecurity firm” New Knowledge. The article was confabulated nonsense and said more about the editors and reporters who produced it than Gabbard, who obviously bears no responsibility for what unknown foreign trolls may do online.
If any individual Russians do in fact support Gabbard, it’s likely because she’s the only Democratic candidate who has challenged the prevailing Trump/Russia narrative, and does not favor launching into a dangerous Cold War posture over some Facebook memes.

Looks to me like NBC and Dem establishment work closely together. They’re threatened by Tulsi antiwar views and opposition to Russiagate hoax
The establishment really doesn’t like Gabbard, probably because she wasn’t supporting war in Syria. She’s also never engaged in Anti-White rhetoric, so she’s probably considered a fascist by the DNC.
Who is this Islut Drabbag character?
“Who is this Islut Drabbag character?”
Is that you, Elizabeth Warren? I’d guess that you were Joe Biden, but he’s snoring through a debate right now, so he couldn’t be posting on FR
She was the only half-sane one on last, of course NBC had to try to knock her out.
THe problem with Tulsi is with her military background she gets it right once in a while, maybe 20% of the time, and she’s articulate and attractive and people think, well now maybe she wouldn’t be so bad...until she’s back on her normal 80% routine. My buddy in HI says this is how she’s been able to win - people there have very short attention spans.
Because she’s the least extreme of those on stage or asking questions.
She’s still a liberal goofball, but her foreign policy is a turd in the Deep State/uniparty punch bowl.
The deep state and the intelligence agencies would hate her as much as they hate Trump.
She’s the only Dem candidate who seems halfway sane. They can’t allow that.
I’d like to remind everyone that Gabbard once called President Trump “Saudi Arabia’s bitch”.
It was at that point I knew she had gone to the dark side.
She’s not “progressive” enough?
Isn’t she also all for illegal aliens?
She definitely has a grasp of foreign affairs.
You forgot your /s tag.
NBC is Comcast
She’s not “progressive” enough?

Yes, progrssive brigade doubt she has been insane enough.
How many trillions of dollars and thousands of lives have we thrown away defending the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? For most of my life I've watched the U.S. taxpayer saddled with debt to help keep a foreign king on his throne.
When I voted for the guy who said he would quit making the U.S. defend foreign governments and get us out of "stupid wars", I hoped he'd follow through.
I'll be voting for the anti-war candidate, Trump has to decide if that's still going to be him.
She’s an attractive, interesting, vet who participated in the Dem debates. A very long shot, mostly unknown, this Hawaiian won the “best” award after Dem debates last night. After tonight’s crop of twits, she is probably gaining traction.
