Look, I am not trying to shill for Tulsi Gabbard, but it seems some here are trying to misrepresent her views. She opposes arming the rebels because she thinks they are comprised of Al Queda and other Muslim terrorist groups. I do not see how that makes her a GOP shill or a white supremacist shrill. From what I can see she is an anti-war/anti-interventionist Democrat. Maybe I am missing something. I do not follow her closely, but so far I do not see anything completely out of the norm.

On a less important note I have finally learned how to post tweets. Did Twitter change how tweets can be posted? Maybe I had just been doing it wrong before and was missing the simple way to post tweets. I think someone is about to be a tweet posting maniac.

1. She's a dino who has repeatedly bashed Obama on Fox and now has met with Assad with no authorization

from the State Dept.

7. What Makes Her a Dino

What makes her a Dino? What view does she have that do not line up with the Democratic Party?

11. Muslims, guns.

14. Try bashing a president from her own party repeatedly on right wing FOX

If that isn't a clue I don't know what is.

But you knew that since I said that in my first post.

10. I got a post hidden for calling her out for what she is in no uncertain terms-

the company she kept going to Syria was a bunch of Nazi deplorables (see my post below).

With what we know about the nexus between Republicans, Russians and White Supremacists... I really wonder WHY she went to Syria to see Assad who is Putin's puppet at this point.

2. I have no problem with the messages of those two tweets.

As for "Did Twitter change how tweets can be posted?"

No, EarlG announced they've updated DU to allow for simple posting of tweets (and it does work a treat):

4. She made am unauthorized trip to visit Assad, a man responsible for butchering thousands of

women and children. Dropped barrels full of chlorine gas which eviscerated their young lungs. Sorry, but I know exactly what this women did.

5. maybe DU needs a forum only for people to post tweets or trump tweets nt

6. You mean "shill", not shrill.

Shill means acting as a mouthpiece.

Shrill is to raise ones voice and be emotional.

8. Thank You

I will change my post. I was not sure if I was spelling the word right. I should have used spell check.

13. The spelling is not the problem, its that you used the wrong word. nm

9. Tulsi Gabbards Fascist Escorts to Syria

Tulsi Gabbard’s Fascist Escorts to Syria
The Democratic congresswoman used affiliates of a violent, anti-Semitic political party to take tea with Assad.

Tulsi Gabbard, the self-styled “progressive” Hawaiian congresswoman makes no secret of her recent trip to Damascus to meet Bashar al-Assad. But, as an outspoken opponent of what she presents as America’s pro-terrorist foreign policy, Gabbard certainly accepted some strange companions on what her fellow lawmakers are calling a disgraceful reputation-laundering tour of a bloody dictatorship.

Gabbard, as her own office has disclosed, took her “fact-finding” trip with a delegation of two men who are affiliated with an anti-Semitic political party accused of using female suicide bombers; of beating up Western and Arab journalists; helping U.S.-designated terrorist organization Hezbollah and the U.S.-sanctioned Syrian regime wage war in the Levant.
And did we mention the party’s ideology and flag take their inspiration from Nazism?

12. Gabbard won't disclose who's paying for secret trip to Syria

Gabbard won't disclose who's paying for secret trip to Syria

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s office won’t say who is paying for the Hawaii Democrat’s controversial trip to Syria and Lebanon this week.

Gabbard spokeswoman Emily Latimer said the trip wasn’t funded using taxpayer dollars and was approved by the House Ethics Committee but wouldn’t provide further information when pressed by POLITICO. The lawmaker is currently on the trip, though it's not clear exactly when she'll be returning.
