Fake news, comrade Gabbardova is most anti-Russian candidate since glorious leader Trump. (Boris,please to check spelling of words before bots publish)
Obama and other democrats were wrong for not calling out radical Islam IMO, you can make the distinction between those who are radicalized and those who aren't, if you really believe that Muslims in general are so weak minded and stupid that they can't tell the difference that's what some call the soft bigotry of low expectations.
Meeting with Trump? He was elected President so yes she should have met with him to see if she could find a way to work with him to get things she supported done, any responsible politician would do the same thing. Yes I hate the bastard too but as long as he's the one in charge just sitting on your hands and not trying to get anything you actually want passed just isn't doing the job you are elected to do.
I'm not going over the anti gay stuff again, if I'm gay and I let that go I don't know why you keep bringing it up, she has apologized for it and her voting record is as good as it gets on the issues so her actions are speaking for her.
The gun ban? go ahead and read what some gun nut website thinks of her record, it's a lot more complex than a single tweet would lead you to believe.
Tulsi is Terrible but Redeemable on the Second Amendment
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has a bad voting record on 2nd Amendment issues, but her conduct in the debate suggests she may be redeemable with the proper outreach.

The article about missing a hearing and "lying" about it doesn't seem to support the severity of the headline, calling an interview a meeting is hardly a lie IMO.
She has issues no doubt about it but this desperation to smear her is silly, she's never going to be POTUS and she's not going to have any impact if she does decide to run 3rd party. She's polling at under 1%, she won't have any money to run in any states, she won't make another debate but she has gotten her anti war message out which is a good thing. Hillary is actually helping her, she's fundraising off of Clinton attacking her which raised her profile, once again HRC screwing things up.
Its just a right wing talking point. Nobody really thinks it matters beyond calling a terrorist a terrorist. For Tulsi she just wants to demonize Islam so she can bomb them.
How about call out Obama for drone strikes? Because she loves that and wishes he did more.
Meeting for a cabinet position? Big no on that one. We both know she wasn't trying to just get things done. We aren't that naive.
Doesn't make her any less anti gay because it doesn't bother her. She said her views haven't changed.
If by some chance she runs for reelection it will be good that she is called out on by garbage. Let her get primaried.
She isn't going to make any debates regardless and is going to be divisive regardless. Call that s*** out and let her prove Hillary right which is what she is doing.
US promised to build beach resort in North Korea during nuclear talks
US negotiators dangled a Trumpian carrot before North Korean diplomats during nuclear talks two weeks ago: a promise to complete and expand a tourist resort that has been a favorite project of Kim …

She isn't proving Hillary right at all, Hillary just brought her more attention (as well as attention to herself which she loves) and distracted from other candidates. All of the other candidates are now being asked about Hillary's claim and have to weigh in on it. Most of what I have seen is people defending Gabbard or saying Clinton should at least present evidence if she's going to make that claim.
Calling out radical islam wasn't just a right wing talking point it was what should have been done regardless of who brought it up.
How would she have been meeting for a cabinet position when she didn't support Trump in the first place? I doubt he would have brought in any democrat especially one that campaigned against him.
Not going to argue the gay issues with you anymore, you are stuck on things she said several years ago, if you are willing to give Clinton and Obama a pass even though they were much older than her when they were still against gay marriage and should have known better and not her that's your issue. Her voting record speaks for itself.

It was absolutely only a right wing talking point and some nice dog whistling to boot. As I said before nobody would demand him to say that about any terrorism in the name of any other religion. All that really needs to be said is that nobody cared that Bush didn't say it either.
I don't know but she did meet for a cabinet position. I doubt Trump would have ever picked someone who wasn't kissing his ass before winning but that doesn't mean they didn't meet over it because they did. There were conservatives that wanted it and Bannon likes her and doesn't that say it all.
If another religion was being used as the excuse for all of the killing that was going on (and in many cases still is) yes they would be called out as well. Just about all religions are responsible for huge amounts of bloodshed at one time or another, it just so happens that the attacks that were carried out against us were in the name of Islam and yes people who radicalize a religion should be called out for what they are. Saying radicalized Islam is specifically not saying all of Islam so it's a clear distinction but too many on the left seem to think that Muslim's aren't able to understand the difference, again the soft bigotry of low expectations.
Well, that's because everyone knows that Merzlum geehawists funneled the love child of Saddam's 13th wife and Bin Laden, Barrack Hussain Obama, into the United States through Uganda using a hippie mom.
I'll call out radical islam when they call out radical white nationalism.
I am more on alert when I see a pickup truck littered with AR15 stickers and rebel flags than I do seeing a Muslim.

Outside of 9/11 hijackers, white men have posed a bigger threat of terrorism in the United States than all other foreign extremists.

I like him but we need more people dropping out.
This article is the main one on Foxnews.com right now. As in front and center with a picture. Funny how someone with 1-2% support among Democrats would be at the very top of Fox news.

2020 Dems dismiss Hillary Clinton's attacks, rally to Tulsi Gabbard's defense over Russia accusation
A growing number of 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls are rallying to Tulsi Gabbard’s defense after Hillary Clinton “smeared” her as a “Russian asset.”

Well, they spend most of their day as state media for the President that maybe 1-2% of Democrats support.
I have to give him credit; I thought if I ever heard him try to use the word emoluments in a sentence, it would have been like "My mall has the greatest monuments, my wall monuments are tremendous and perfect, by the way."
President Trump’s effort to pressure Ukraine for information he could use against political rivals came as he was being urged to adopt a hostile view of that country by its regional adversaries, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, current and former U.S. officials said.
Trump’s conversations with Putin, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbanand others reinforced his perception of Ukraine as a hopelessly corrupt country — one that Trump now also appears to believe sought to undermine him in the 2016 U.S. election, the officials said.
Neither of those foreign leaders specifically encouraged Trump to see Ukraine as a potential source of damaging information about Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, nor did they describe Kyiv as complicit in an unsubstantiated 2016 election conspiracy theory, officials said.
