It's fascinating how anyone who steps a little outside the conventional consensus in the USA on foreign policy, that it should be militaristic and aggressive, that it should be big, bold, expensive, wasteful, bloody, destructive and doesn't work... anyone who rejects or even questions the neocon agenda, like Gabbard, is savaged relentlessly and now gets smeared with the label Russian stooge. One would imagine that the close to hysterical reaction to Gabbard would be analysed in our liberal press. Is it because she's a woman, for example? only they don't do this in the Guardian, why not?
