Taibbi on Gabbard

From his piece in the Rolling Stone. As usual, he exposes the establishment Dems against any candidate who challenges their war machine and their corporate pay offs. That the establishment then calls for unity is ludicrous, meaning our corrupt way or we'll skewer you.

"Gabbard’s actual views follow logically from her experience as a soldier in the Middle East, and as a native of a state that went through a remarkable nuclear scare a year ago. She’s not an isolationist. She’s simply opposed to bombing the crap out of, and occupying, foreign countries for no apparent positive strategic objective, beyond enriching contractors. She is like many soldiers (and embedded reporters for that matter) who returned disillusioned from the Middle Eastern theater. Of concern: the extreme loss of life among both Americans and resident populations, and the outrageous profiteering amid abuse of foreign contract workers who are used to staff and service American bases."
