ClintonCreature weighs in on Tulsi - Update: She Responds!

Words cannot describe...

Hillary Clinton says Tulsi Gabbard is a 'Russian asset' groomed to ensure Trump reelection

Hillary Clinton said that Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is being groomed by Moscow to run as a third-party spoiler candidate in 2020 to help President Trump win reelection.

The former secretary of state pushed the theory on the Campaign HQ podcast hosted by David Plouffe, President Barack Obama’s campaign manager in 2008.

RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA!

But wait, there's more!

"She is a favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far. That's assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she is also a Russian asset.

"They know they can't win without a third-party candidate, and so I do not know who it's going to be, but I can guarantee you they will have a vigorous third-party challenge in the key states that they most need it."

She's never going away, is she?

UPDATE

Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a ...

... concerted campaign to destroy my reputation. We wondered who was behind it and why. Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and ...

... powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose.
It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me. Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly.

Ouch

However, when asked to confirm whether she was in fact referencing Gabbard, Clinton’s reply was a simple one: “If the nesting doll fits.”

According to Hillary Clinton, I can now declare with great pleasure that I am financially supporting a "Russian asset" who's being "groomed" -- perhaps by Putin himself? How thrilling!

You had to vote for her anyway. After people bitched about Stein getting the votes that were owed to Hillary someone wrote that no one owes anyone their vote. Never mind that Johnson got more votes than Jill did. But he's a man and it's not right to single out...cuz of.. and.., but...oh keeriste I lost my train of thought...Cue the outrage...

OFFS! Seriously? In this day and age, you are going to pull that old bullsh*t line? You couldn't be more wrong. The presidential election is a binary choice event. A vote for a third party, is a vote for Drumpf. Pure and simple. Don't like the Dem candidate? Hold your nose and vote for them anyway. It is thoughts like, "Nobody owes anyone their vote," that got us Drumpf as Pres.

You may not owe any one your vote, but you owe your county and fellow residents.

If you don't vote for the democratic candidate you are a traitor gosh darn it! Riiight...

This garbage got 81 recs.

By attempting to move Democrats toward the Trump+Putin direction of paranoia and xenophobia, Gabbard is hurting the Democratic cause. No doubt Putin’s trolls will find other targets to attack and/or boost even after Gabbard is eliminated, but even so it’s time for her to leave the Democratic stage.

Where in the blue hell does Tulsi do that? Paranoia and xenophobia? From Tulsi? Now can you imagine someone writing this about Her? And lots of talking about white nationalists and Nazisism when talking about Vlad and Russia in general. Have any of the inmates read a history book on what happened in Russia during WWII? This type of comment is said a lot over there.

textbook abuser behavior.

Gaslighting and projection. DARVO: deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender.

The establishment Dems have been pushing the paranoid, xenophobic narrative since Hillary lost the election. They've done it in particularly hateful, brutal and destructive ways.

When someone calls them out on what they're doing, they immediately start screeching about how that person is being paranoid and xenophobic. They also double down on their paranoid, xenophobic accusations ("She's a Russian asset!"), apparently without any sense of irony. The lack of self-awareness is astonishing.

It's gotten to the point that I feel like an old man when I say I remember when Daily Kos was an intelligent, literate, erudite, and compassionate place. Sure, the boneheads who post garbage like you quoted were there, but they were a fringe.

Unfortunately for them, Kos and elfling turned out to be part of that fringe.

The now well-documented fall from grace triggered by the Ides of March Decree 2016 was not a small one, and nearly all the worthwhile writers from "over there" are now here.

I've been back to take a peek from time to time. The levels of pure dribble and cacophonous noise are unbearable. I applaud you for being able to go there and bring the most premium turds back for us to see. I don't think I could do it.

They have a complete blackout on anything positive for all Democratic candidates/officeholders who aren't milquetoast incrementalist neoliberal conservas i.e., Her Heinous and all Her various protegees and clones. (ByeDone, Harris, Buttigieg, Bennett, Hickenlooper, et al.) If one actually stands for something, especially real change in favor of ordinary working people, (s)he's seriously anathema over there.

They are the epitome of I’m taking my ball and going home if hey do not get their way. Why are they so afraid of opposing view points????

I do not know; but it is certain that Markos "Kos" Moulitsas is terrified of the very sort of Democrat who was the backbone of the Democratic Party from 1940 to 1975: the "New Deal Democrats" so near and dear to my family's adults during those years. It is these very Democrats whose choice today rides with either Tulsi, or Bernie, or both. And it is those selfsame people who were targeted by the Ides of March Decree in 2016 which made any significant questioning of Hillary Clinton a banning offense over there as it essentially remains today.

Gak.

IT'S ON!! Hillary accuses Tulsi Gabbard of being a Russian "asset" - We knew it would come to this eventually, Hillard still owns the DNC and she is defending her "property". She also expressed fears that Tulsi would mount a third party candidacy and is scared to death of that possibility! Hardly wait for the Clinton / Gabbard steel cage match - it ought to be good!! It's almost like she is daring Tulsi to run third party. I'd wanna' see some primary results before I would accept the dare...

Lurking in the wings is Hillary, like some terrifying bat hanging by her feet in a cavern below the DNC. A bat with theropod instincts. -- Fred Reed https://tinyurl.com/vgvuhcl

One of the current emerging smears out of the Russiagate hoax is that the Russians were supporting Bernie in the primaries. Bernie was spared being smeared with Russiagate for some time after the election. But now the smearing started relatively recently:

April 12, 2019
Inside the Russian effort to target Sanders supporters — and help elect Trump
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/inside-the-russian-effort-to-tar...

“I think there is no question that Sanders was central to their strategy. He was clearly used as a mechanism to decrease voter turnout for Hillary Clinton,” said one of the Clemson researchers, Darren Linvill, an associate professor of communications. The tweets examined in the new analysis “give us a much clearer understanding of the tactics they were using. It was certainly a higher volume than people thought.”

This is opening the door for somebody like Castro or even Harris to attack Bernie during one of the debates with this charge that he was Putin's boy. Or let loose thousands of Hillary bots pushing the theme that Bernie was and maybe is now, Putin's boy once again.

Hillary has let loose once again her horrid swarm of Russiangaters locust and they may land on Bernie.

Geez, the hate fest is on at TOP over this.

0 users have voted.

@MrWebster would explain why Bernie jumped so quickly on the Russiagate train back in 2017, which drove many of us crazy. We knew he couldn't be that stupid, but we didn't realize what a smart move it actually was: he knew that lying, crazy Hillary would try to tar him with the "Russia" brush if he didn't disavow all things Russian. He was trying to protect himself from an out-of-control monster.

Truly, that woman is a festering cancer on the body politic of this nation. And I am so glad she did not get into the presidency.

I am not saying you’re wrong. Hell, I don’t pretend to understand a lot of Bernie’s decisions when the Democratic Party is involved. I just don’t think there was a winning move there at all, but I don’t think I’d have done it his way either.

because HillaryCorp is an Orwellian institution practicing Orwellian politics.

He could burn Vladimir Putin in effigy every Sunday on national TV and kiss Hillary's ass nonstop and it wouldn't change anything. Unless he (and you) are hoping to placate HillaryCorp into not attacking him.

If they continue to attack him, he will not be able to defend himself with reason and evidence, because they're not making a rational attack on him.

@Cant Stop the Macedonian Signal . She and her followers don't play any kind of fair, they cannot treat others ethically. I wasn't ascribing his Russiagate behavior to a desire to placate his possible accusers; rather, that it may have been an attempt to preemptively refute any accusations. There is a difference.

Either way, of course, he's letting them call the shots. Even we, at our distance, can see how vicious she is; imagine how it feels to work with her. In the past I've wondered what it's like for Bill and Chelsea. I would describe them both as cowed.

@laurel

All I meant was, the only possible way to get out of having them smear you is to placate them. I don't think that's likely to work either, though.

I sometimes think that the best way is to simply continue doing what you're doing and ignore them. Perhaps build up alternative structures so that people have somewhere to go other than the mainstream for their information.

Of course, that didn't work well for John Kerry, but things were different in 2004. There were still a lot of people not even disillusioned with George W. Bush and the Iraq War in 2004, and a lot fewer people who understood the fraudulent nature of the politics they were being fed. And I AM glad that Tulsi, rather than ignoring her, smacked her right back.

That said, I think trying to play it safe against opponents like that is unlikely to work.

In fact if asked about it I'd expect you'd agree that there should have been hundreds of thousands more 'draft dodgers' during 'The War on Vietnam'. Everyone if at all possible.

@Anja Geitz my god. Called. HER. Out!
Wow!

This is how someone mad as hell with nothing to lose does it. Between the debate and this, I think she’s just had enough. And I can’t blame her.

I’m sure the blowback is going to be fierce, and I’m sure she knows that, but maybe she can lead by example and some other campaigns might take notes?

@Dr. John Carpenter

She isn't afraid of political blowback. Maybe she is just so disgusted about what these warmongers are doing to young kids who fight in these mercenary wars, what it does to them, and their families, she had to do what she feels is right.

Frankly, I think that shows a lot of courage and integrity. Something we haven't seen a lot of on the kabuki stage of politics.

@Anja Geitz @Anja Geitz it’s so rare to see someone respond to anything with genuine emotion as opposed to pre-staged outrage or bullying anger. It’s down right refreshing.

Also really really nice to finally see someone take on the Democratic establishment from within and not pull punches or lessen the impact with a bunch of niceties about the other person. Change will not happen while kowtowing to the power structure actively working against it. Not saying people have to be combative, but I’m just tired of “progressives” who won’t call Democrats and the party out on its crap.

@snoopydawg , it makes me afraid for her. For all her courage, Tulsi has conscience, which means there are limits to what she will do. Hillary has no conscience and therefore no limits. Combine that with significant power and money, and ... anything could happen. I really care for Tulsi, but I don't know how to protect her from that monster. I've always doubted the efficacy of intercessory prayer, but this time maybe it would be worth a try.

I hope a lot of people with social media megaphones will speak up in support of Tulsi and in condemnation of Hillary.

Lots of great tweets calling Herheinous out on her tweet. Then she posted one of her wanting to get into NASA when she was a little gremlin and NASA wrote her back and said no girls allowed. Sure they did.

@snoopydawg

Within minutes of her posting, Gabbard had more than 10,000 shares of her tweet. Sure seems like a lot of support, right? Or as most notice, a hell of a bot network that just chums Twitter.

Groan... of course it has to be Russian bots that are chumming out and retweeting that because it can't be that people like what Tulsi said after basically being accused of working for a foreign government. Geezus! How can people not see how bad it is to call someone from your own party and in the military a Russian asset? Are people really that blind to what Hillary said? Is this tribalism on steroids or just stupidity?

His next sentence was asking Tulsi how many wars Hillary started. Well she wasn't CiC and didn't have the last word on it, but she pushed for the war on Libya. And was very supportive of the Syrian war as well as the 3 coups that happened during Obama's watch. Then there's her bone headed vote for the Iraq war. Think if Herheinous had spoken out against it more democrats might have voted no? Good grief.

What’s the percentage of people who will still admit to being Dems these days? It’s somewhere in the 20s, last I heard. Do they think this nonsense brings anyone over to their side? Russiagate has been a non-starter for anyone not already in the tent. This is only red meat for the die hards.

Please, let HER keep talking. It’s not even about Tulsi, though it seems after every debate people rush to the Googles so they can make up their own mind. Every time HER opens HER mouth, it’s another nail in the Dem’s coffin. This lunacy is the modern Democratic Party, red baiting neoliberals with nothing to offer.

@Dr. John Carpenter Got it right. Why in the fuck is Hillary getting involved. Hillary and her lackies have argued that the Russians turned a small amount of people in key states to beat her, and what the fck does she do, alienate a decent size of the democratic base.

Not much room for daylight or human rights and human dignity between Hillary and Drumpf now, is there, @MrWebster .

She’s necessary so we can keep the identity politics and politics of personal destruction rolling and can keep the gravy train rolling for the corporate sponsors. And we just got to war with Putin, it’s all part of the neoliberal no-nations plan.

Also that post from snoop, iirc, about her “emails” resulting in criminal action.

Hope she takes it on the chin for this shit.

But upon reflection, yes, every time Hillary attacks someone, that person will get stronger, not weaker.

Bet you Tulsi's donations experience a significant uptick after this.

Where is the left supposed to go? Warren?

At this point, I figure Warren is her stalking horse.

And there's a reason for so many candidates in the field, too.

Anytime she sees the opportunity to split votes away from Bernie, she will jump on it.

There's a reason she timed her attack on Tulsi right before Bernie's big NYC rally.

Now Tom Watson, one of her former(?) right hand Men for Hillary, is trying to cudgel Bernie to renounce Tulsi.

Warren folks are trying to push Bernie to support his opponent so he can be denounced as a Russian stooge which is the real joke on us.

And if no one gets enough delegates on the first ballot, who knows what's next?

That prospect is not funny.

I'm sure Hillary thought about splitting the left vote, too

There's method to her viciousness attendant to her meglomania.

But even that's a resounding colossal fail! Berniacs galore are rising to Tulsi's defense. The American Left now enjoys more solidarity and political capital from Her Heinous' recent behavior, not less.

Just like it did when She ran against Trump, much to the benefit of the latter!

Look to Her and the Hilbots (band name?) to show the way. BTW what about HER and the alien baby? huh? huh?. The Enquirer never lies.

Tulsi Gabbard has a record, a history, a resume to apply for high office. Her has....what?
