Her antics have been very disappointing but since she's attractive, I can forgive her.

The fact that a Hare Krishna would buddy up with the BJP suggests she's incredibly naive in addition to being a HP. Then again, just being a Hare Krishna would suggests one is incredibly naive (minor slack cut since she was born into it).

It would be like an New Ager who's into the Kabbalah getting buddy buddy with The Jewish Home.

The BJP's policies will stabilize and protect India from Islamic extremism for years to come.

If you think that protecting India from extremism means the mass murder of Muslims, sure.

Considering that he is a Likud supporter, he probably does, yes.

The biggest threats to India's, Israel's, and the world's (in general) stability and existence is not Islamic extremism, but nationalistic warmongers who destroy their countries while claiming to protect them.

But as for the OP: whether she is trying to milk Hindu donors for campaign donations and/or actually believes that crap, I am rapidly losing my respect for her because of this.

I've always been suspicious of her considering her father's political career was based almost solely on homophobia.

This doesn't help.

I gave her a pass on her dad, since you can't really control family and it's not improbable that you might end up with different views from a family member, but yeah, this is pretty terrible. Gabbard really needs to find new, less terrible political allies/friends.

Yep; just look at Mario vs Andrew Cuomo.

First of all she's not even a Hare Krishna follower.  Her cult is an obscure homophobic offshoot of the Hare Krishna movement.

Also, to those who think she doesn't share her father's (and her cult's) views on homosexuality:

Another ignorant, ethnocentric atlas thread about the BJP. Oh great. Roll Eyes

So, the BJP had been in power for almost a year now. What exactly have they done that would set them apart from other right wing parties like the Republicans? They are different from European conservative parties but they have a fascist base just like the republicans do here in America. The question is do they allow those people to call the shots. Are they? Give me specific examples.

As for me, the BJP has disappointed me but that was to be expected. Can't really expect any political party in India to immediately implement the needed reforms. And they do cater to their idiot base by changing things in textbooks and other sh**t like that. I am not excusing that behavior but Republicans do sh**t like that all the time!!! Why hold the BJP to a different standard?

That a Democrat would endorse a right-wing party in another country is ridiculous.

Did she actually endorse the BJP? She was just against a patronizing, "white man's burden" type non-sensical legislation. Should the Indian parliament call on America to improve its racial situation?

Doesn't change the fact that the legislation was a horrible idea.

I don't even know what the legislation was. I just see a Democrat wearing the logo of a right-wing party from a country where there's a perfectly respectable left-wing opposition. That makes her a HP.

A bill admonishing India for not doing enough to protect its religious minorities. They focus on Gujarat even though that happened 11 years before the piece of of legislation was proposed. That is a stupid thing for congress to do considering things like Ferguson, Eric garner and the general antics of police around this country. I applaud congresswoman Gabbard for standing up to this nonsense.

Lol so what?

If you think it is appropriate to meddle in the internal affairs of India, don't you think it would be fair for India to do the same? And I didnt even mention the temple shooting.... I think it's always good to keep in mind that everybody's sh**t stinks. It doesn't smell like roses.
