1. I started out disliking her; then I liked her; but she's all over the map. I'm writing her off now.

[OnDoutside]

2. She needs to go.

[Cha]

4. I wish!

[Cha]

3. gabbard was always on Fakefox disingenuously

bashing President Obama.

I voted for Shay Chan Hodges her primary opponent, who tweeted that, in 2016.

Good One, Shay!

Mahalo, Randy!

7. Funny - I don't see the quoted post at Gabbard's twitter.

Not being the twittering sort, maybe I'm doing it rong.

https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard


Maybe it got disappeared?

[Voltaire2]

10. Must have been this tweet:

No wait, that isn't right.

[Cha]

65. Like sanders approves of a "regime change"? gabbard is deflecting..

she's giving assad cover, who is a war criminal.. just because she doesn't want a "regime change" doesn't mean she gets to deny the reality of assad gassing his own people

Link to tweet

[synergie]

18. She did not reference a tweet. Gabbard is home doing town halls.

[Tactical Peek]

20. Aha.

Her prefacing it with ".@TulsiGabbard " fooled me, especially since it is clickable, and when clicked it goes to Gabbard's twitter page.

Thanks for the coattail pull.

[Tactical Peek]

21. Found coverage.

Gabbard was also asked why she hadn’t signed a letter that many of her Democratic colleagues in Congress had sent to Trump denouncing Steve Bannon, a top adviser to the president and the former head of Breitbart News, which has garnered support from the “alt-right,” which is a white nationalist movement. “I haven’t gotten into a name-calling game with regard to any of Trump’s nominees because I don’t see how that is productive or how that actually accomplishes anything when it comes to the policies that really will either be harmful or helpful to the people of our state,” Gabbard said to applause.

66. Yeah, and glad Shay Chan Hodges called her out on it..

[Tactical Peek]

5. At least she hasn't accepted a position in President Bannon's cabinet,

yet.

[OnDoutside]

9. But if she did, a real Democrat could be elected in her place.

[dalton99a]

11. Yep.

[FDRsGhost]

13. What's a "real" Democrat? Last I heard Tulsi was

[OnDoutside]

15. Thanks for clearing that up ! I hadn't realised there were still people left who thought she was

a "Real" Democrat.

[FDRsGhost]

17. Again, tell us what defines a "real Democrat"?

[brush]

45. If you don't know you're on the wrong site, but Gabbard is a DINO.

[FDRsGhost]

74. Answer my question please

[brush]

79. Sorry, if you don't know that, maybe it's because of your low post count.

[FDRsGhost]

83. Yes because my low post count has to do with my question to you

Would you please answer my question?

[NYC Liberal]

60. Not someone who defends Donald Trump,

for a start.

[FDRsGhost]

75. Is someone who defends gay marriage a "real Democrat"?

Or a woman's right to choose. How about anti-war positions?

[NYC Liberal]

82. Someone who defends Donald Trump is not someone I call a "real Democrat"

Dick Cheney supports same sex marriage.

Plenty of right-wing Ron Paul supporters held anti-war positions.

Are they real Democrats?

[LanternWaste]

72. Common sense and objective observation...

Common sense and objective observation...

Plus, being a member of the party rather than simply using it when convenient.

I kinda thought it both wonderfully easy and clear to see the obvious. Maybe bias precludes it though.

[bekkilyn]

62. We're supposed to vote for anyone(*) with a D next to their names

for the sake of so-called unity.

With the exception of Tulsi it would seem.

She's a woman who thinks for herself and doesn't go along with all the bi-partisan warmongering, and that's just not acceptable and so she must be put in her place.

[Chevy]

6. Now now that is no way

to speak of Assads favorite congressional cheerleader.

[Cha]

8. He loves Tulsi Gabbard. Loves her, a second source familiar with Bannons thinking told The Hill

snip//

Bannon set up Trump-Gabbard meeting

Bannon, who hates the entrenched two-party system, has long admired Gabbard. She’s an Iraq War veteran with an independent streak. Bannon, a navy veteran, was drawn to her when she began publicly excoriating the Obama administration over its plan to defeat ISIS.

“He loves Tulsi Gabbard. Loves her,” a second source familiar with Bannon’s thinking told The Hill. “Wants to work with her on everything

Bad Shay.. shining the Light on the war criminal,
"assad's mouthpiece in D.C."

[FDRsGhost]

12. Why focus on Tulsi when several didn't sign the letter.

But because it's Tulsi, she gets the shaft. This shit is ridiculous. What happened to the "don't bash Democrats" thing?

Those who didn't sign include....

Brad Ashford (NE-02)

Corrine Brown (FL-05)

Lois Capps (CA-24)

Jim Costa (CA-16)

[intheflow]

14. They used to love Alan Grayson, too,

but I suppose he's on the hit squad's list now, too.

[RandySF]

16. I don't like wife beaters of any party.

[BannonsLiver]

22. Then he started beating up his wife

[synergie]

19. How many of them met with Bannon?

[BannonsLiver]

23. "What happened to the don't bash Democrats thing?"

Ask Tulsi. She was never shy about shitting all over President Obama.

[FDRsGhost]

24. I like how many name 1 or 2 people that *only* do this

but in reality, they all do it. Scuhmer took to twitter to openly admonish POTUS Obama. There's criticism and then there's trashing the party which nobody does unless you're Trump.

Link to tweet

[BannonsLiver]

25. She's done it repeatedly and far more aggressively

She accused him of funding Isis, FFS. Sounds a lot like another clown I know.

I hope Obama goes out of his way to bury her career. And if she or anyone else thinks that's not possible they better think again.

[KittyWampus]

28. That poster has had Tulsi Gabbard's record/actions pointed out to them at length

in a thread they posted pretending not to understand what all the ruckus about Gabbard is.

The pretense is now obvious. Don't get caught up in it or get a hide for it.


https://www.democraticunderground.com/10028913189

[FDRsGhost]

35. Why would he get a hide?

Nothing he has said is off canter.

[BannonsLiver]

42. Yes, it's like arguing with Jeffrey Lord

Oh well, I've made them invisible now.

[FDRsGhost]

29. She is very popular you do know this, right?

And she well may be on the ticket in 2020.
Now as far as your assertion goes, I Googled it and that sites like InfoWars are saying the same thing you do along with other far RW sites. Hmm.

[KittyWampus]

30. LOLZ!

[FDRsGhost]

32. Keep laughing all you want

That's what helped get Shitbag elected.

[brush]

46. We're laughing that you think Gabbard will be on the Dem presidential ticket in 2020

Not a chance.

[FDRsGhost]

47. Think again

#Tulsi2020
Quite the popular little hashtag there

[brush]

51. You're all in for her for some reason, but she's too cozy with repugs, FOX and Assad. Not a chance.

Too many of the Dem party base remember how she bashed Obama over and over on FOX.

She'll be lucky to still have her seat in 2020.

[FDRsGhost]

52. Who's cozy?

Some would say she is but some would also say she isn't.

[brush]

56. People have long memories of an alleged Dem bashing a Dem president on the repug network, FOX

Last edited Sun Apr 16, 2017, 08:54 PM - Edit history (1)

Just the fact that many think she's cozy with repugs, FOX and Assad will assure she won't get anywhere close to the presidential ticket.

Again, not a chance.

[malchickiwick]

77. Eeewww. That is a terrible idea.

You just made me throw up in my throat. Thanks a lot.

[BannonsLiver]

34. Hmmm all you want

Cast aspersions all you want. It won't change anything. You enjoy your visit m'kay.

[FDRsGhost]

36. Well I'm only calling it as it is.

Enjoy my visit? lol Okay. You as well.

[BannonsLiver]

38. You're not winning many Gabbard converts here.

[FDRsGhost]

39. Well honestly that was never intended

But okay.



Honestly though, I'd Google that assertion you made. I'm not finding nothing outside the Wing Nut Times.

[BannonsLiver]

40. Hey maybe if she can't advance in politics RT will give her own show?

She'd fit in with Easy Ed Schultz and the like.

[FDRsGhost]

48. Maybe you'd do better at explaining why

She was out front on such issues as gay marriage before others were, some of which ran for office.
Maybe you could tell us why being anti-war is a bad thing.
Perhaps you can explain this to us too;

[BannonsLiver]

41. WaPo is right wing?

Do tell....

[FDRsGhost]

49. And?

You have a problem with this? I don't.

A backer of Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) during the Democratic presidential primary, Gabbard last month introduced the Stop Arming Terrorists Act, which would bar the U.S. government from providing money or other support to the Islamic State or Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, the al-Qaeda group formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusra, or to any of their allies or to any countries that support them directly or indirectly.

“If you or I gave money, weapons or support to al-Qaeda or ISIS, we would be thrown in jail,” she said in announcing the legislation. “Yet the U.S. government has been violating this law for years, quietly supporting allies and partners of al-Qaeda, ISIL . . . and other terrorist groups with money, weapons and intelligence support, in their fight to overthrow the Syrian government.”

And there ya go, told.

[Me.]

44. What Ticket Are You Referring To?

[FDRsGhost]

50. POTUS

[Me.]

57. Really?

[FDRsGhost]

68. Yup, really.

Laugh away, we all laughed at Trump too. We're all eating our words because there's more idiots in this country than we ever knew.

[Me.]

70. If She Ever Plans To Run As A Dem

She'd need the backing of the DNC which she has dissed big time. As for idiots, the majority are in the Con party not the Dems.

[Cha]

90. Nah.. gabbard's too damn divisive to be on any "ticket"

Link to tweet

[Cha]

89. BFD.. schumer took to twitter.. gabbard went on FAKEfox innumerable

times to whine about President Obama.

Link to tweet

[KittyWampus]

27. You know why. You were told why. It was explained AT LENGTH TO YOU in a thread you started.

The thread you started by pretending not to understand what the fuss about Gabbard was.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10028913189

Are any of the other Democrats gun lovers like Gabbard? Are any of them Islamophobes like Gabbard? Did any of them take money from a terrorist allied group to go to Syria? Did any of them met inappropriately with Assad?

[FDRsGhost]

31. I own firearms.

And?

Tulsi is against war. Since when in our party is this a BAD thing?

[KittyWampus]

33. Once again, I'll post the link to the thread YOU started where Gabbard was explained to you:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10028913189

[FDRsGhost]

37. Again, that has nothing to do with the situation at hand

and how other Dems didn't sign the letter either but TULSI!

[TransitJohn]

43. Because marching orders have come in and the coordinated smear is ongoing

It couldn't be more obvious.

[lapucelle]

59. Some of those who didn't sign

were not returning to Congress in January 2017. They should have signed anyway. Here is a list of the 12 returning non-signers:

Jim Costa (CA-16)
Henry Cuellar (TX-28)
Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02)
Dan Lipinski (IL-03)
Collin Peterson (MN-07)
Dutch Ruppersberger (MD-02)
Bobby Rush (IL-01)
David Scott (GA-13)
Brad Sherman (CA-30)
Kyrsten Sinema (AZ-09)
Filemon Vela (TX-34)
Pete Visclosky (IN-01)

I think Bobby Rush deserves a pass...his grandson had just been murdered.

The rest of them need to explain their decision. As for the focus on Gabbard, she is a lightening rod because she has made herself a lightening rod. She courted national attention. She's getting it.

Doesn't the list seem much shorter when it isn't double spaced?

[FDRsGhost]

69. My point stands.

There are other who didn't sign. But the Tulsi!!!111 Aye, it's just sad

[Cha]

91. What's sad is gabbard...

Link to tweet

That's just pathetic

[FDRsGhost]

94. What's sad is more didn't speak up

Link to tweet

[Cha]

95. Quit deflecting FDR'sGhost.. gabbard is covering

for the racist bannon but "never missed a chance to throw President Obama under the bus"..

Shame on her.

[JTFrog]

96. That troll has been PPR'd. About fucking time. nt

[Cha]

97. Mahalo for the news, JT

[FSogol]

98. Awesome, "Better Believe It" has left the building (again). Thanks, Admins. n/t

[Cha]

64. If you paid any attention to the OP... it's a Tweet from

Shay Chan Hodges who was gabbard's primary opponent in the last election.

And, she is damn right about gabbard's shit.. always going on Fakefox to take cheap pot shots about President Obama but bannon's out of bounds

[SticksnStones]

71. You've made a long list there made longer by duplicate names.

Why's that?

[DanTex]

81. Could have to do with her bashing of Dems and promulgating conspiracy theories. My guess.

[Gothmog]

26. Who is surprised by this?

[vi5]

53. Wait, is Gabbard someone I'm allowed to dislike or not?

I can't keep track on here. I mean I know I'm supposed to send folks like Manchin flowers and personally thank him for blessing us all by being a Democrat, and thus I am not allowed to criticize or suggest at all that he get a primary opponent.

But what is the deal with Gabbard?

[bekkilyn]

63. Everyone with a D is good by default. Vote Democratic! (nt)

[mahina]

54. That is reductive bullshit. I was there. I voted for Shay btw.

http://www.kitv.com/clip/13249154/civil-beat-tulsi-gabbard-townhall-meetings-on-various-topics

Here's the whole town hall. If you post about her, you should listen. Scroll down a few posts to the Oahu town hall:

[mahina]

61. Do you have any evidence or other reason to think Tulsi took Russian money, if that's what you're

Saying?

That seems like a pretty wild assertion.

[nikibatts]

67. Please ignore these side show Dems and just get out there and help people to vote Democratic.

[Blue_Tires]

73. Anyone still want to try defending her?

EDIT: I see you're still trying to chirp me... Go play with someone else because I'm not taking your bait this time...

[mahina]

78. I posted a link to her remarks above. You should listen to it. The OP does not

Accurately state her response to the question.

I think it was Gaye's question. From where I was sitting, I couldn't see the person at the mic. On the Civil Beat video I can't see the mic either. Was that Gaye speaking?

Assuming you were there, as I was, as you're weighing in.

Aloha.

[Blue_Tires]

84. Okay... Now try explaining away all the other shit

Let's start with her love affairs with Assad, Putin, and David Duke for starters...

[mahina]

86. So you didn't listen to the Civil Beat vid.

[mahina]

87. I know it takes time to listen to but come on. Ready, fire, aim.

[mahina]

88. Checking your profile, I see you live in Virginia, so no need to answer me about whether you could

See who was speaking at the town hall that sparked the OP. You were 4800 miles away.

Why do you care about Tulsi as she is not your elected representative? Do you think your views are informed by information on the ground over here?

If not, what do you base your negative judgement on?

Just curious.

[PotatoChip]

76. I hope Tulsi will someday run for POTUS

We need more people in like her on our team.

[NurseJackie]

80. Ha!! :-D She might run. But she wouldn't win the Democratic nomination.

[Cha]

85. No we don't.. she's too damn divisive..
