They are trying to smear her (a Democrat) like they smeared Palin (a Republican)
Why? Do Democrats really hate women??
Watch around the 6:13 mark of this SNL skit.
Yes they hate women. They covered for Crosby, Clinton, Weinstein, Epstein, Etal for years.
OUR POLITICAL CLASS IS CRAZY:
Gabbard Derangement Syndrome: Is there nothing that the embattled elites won’t blame on Russia?
Spoiler: No.
They hate her because of her uncompromising opposition to the ‘
counterproductive regime-change wars’ pursued with such ignorant zeal by the likes of Democrat grandee Hillary Clinton. It’s because of her willingness to question the narratives that have justified Western intervention in Syria, including
a secret fact-finding mission to Damascus, and a meeting with Bashar al-Assad in 2017. And it’s because she does all this not as a woolly pacifist, but as a war vet.
A principled 38-year-old, armed with a progressive policy platform, and, above all, a strong commitment to anti-interventionism, her powerful opponents are determined to present her as something altogether more sinister. They talk of her being a
poster girl for white supremacists and the alt-right, of her being a
Republican stooge in Democratic clothing, and of her being a
Russian asset.
The Fake News
New York Times even
laid into her for wearing a white pantsuit for a TV debate, claiming it was somehow cult-like. But that is as nothing compared to the constant innuendo and sometimes outright claims that Gabbard is being backed by Russia and Putin, the seeming power behind all world disorder.
Clinton claims Gabbard is a Russian plant. She thinks Gabbard is ‘being groomed’ by the Kremlin. She thinks she is being maneuvered, by Putin and Co, out of the Democrat Party and into a third-party position, so as to split the Democratic vote in 2020. And she thinks that will hand victory once again to Russia’s Manchurian Candidate, Donald Trump, just as she
thinks that Jill Stein, the Green Party’s 2016 presidential nominee, was also a Russian asset, used to split the vote three years ago and deprive Hillary of the election victory she still believes should be hers. The entitlement underwriting her deranged conspiracy theory is breathtaking.
‘Thank you @HillaryClinton’, Feisty Gabbard tweeted last month. ‘You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democrat Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain.’ Later, she continued the fightback: ‘If you’re sick of the new McCarthyism and warmongering by Hillary and her cohorts, then join our campaign.’ Which is pretty much on the money.
Yet, while Clinton and her cohorts may be exponents of the new McCarthyism, they are far from the only ones. And that is what is interesting about it. The new McCarthyism is now deployed by besieged elites throughout the West. Putin’s hand is seen everywhere, his power is seen as boundless. Or at least that’s what the theory implies. In reality, Russia-blaming has become one of the principal forms through which an embattled establishment both expresses and rationalizes away its fear and anxiety. All domestic challenges, all political opposition, can be reduced to this single foreign plot. The
gilets jaunes in France?
Stirred up by Russia. Brexit? Russian cash and Facebook ads. Trump? Russian bots and a compromising videotape. And now the 2020 US presidential election? A Russian-groomed third-party candidate to split the vote.
