This post form FACEBOOK is scary.  What part of Seattle min in New Yor? Sawant has so far not even apepared in her own District much less raised any of the questions specific to District 3.  Seems as if she is running for something else?  Sales of her autobiography?

This post from FACEBOOK is scary. What part of Seattle is in New York? Sawant has so far not even appeared in her own District much less raised any of the questions specific to District 3. Seems as if she is running for something else? Sales of her autobiography?  Her choices of her other platform mate in NY is also less than I would expect from a candidate running in Seattle.  Howie Hawkins is running for Governor against Andrew Cuomo. That is fair enough but a big issue in Mr. Hawkins’ campaign is his support for “BDS” … a movement that wants to replace Israel with a Hamas dominated Palestine.  Sawant is also a BDS supporter and has spent part of her time on the Seattle City Council trying to get the Council to condemn Israel under the rubric that rocket attacks from Gaza are justified by the Palestinian’s right to self defense.  . Is Sawant running here as a BDS candidate?     Is Chris Hedges going to endorse her book?   READMORE ABOUT THE SAWANT CAMPAIGN

From Kshama’s FACEBOOK site:
FACEBOOK: If you’re going to be in New York City Sunday May 31, join me and Chris Hedges at an exciting get together and fundraiser for our Seattle City Council re-election campaign! Because what is at stake is not only the movement in Seattle, but the empowerment of working people all over the US.

In case anyone here in Seattle wants to know who “Chris Hedges” is, he is a former New York Times  war  correspondent and radical liberal blogger.   He was part of a team of reporters that won the 2002 Pulitzer prize for their coverage of global terrorism. Hughes’ journalistic ethics, however came in question when some of his sensationalist reporting of Al Qaeda supported the Bush administration claims that Saddam Hussein was in alliance with the terrorist organization Al Qaeda.  The defector Hedges quoted, who identified himself as Lt. General Jamal al-Ghurairy, was actually a former sergeant, and the real Ghurairy had never left Iraq.  Hedges attempted to explain his failure to substantiate part of the story that led to the Iraq war, explaining, “There has to be a level of trust between reporters. We cover each other’s sources when it’s a good story because otherwise everyone would get hold of it.”  READMORE

 Listen to Kshama call Hillary a “War Monger” and a corporate tool.

 Hear a Marxist opponent of Kshama call her an imperialist who “pander to the bourgeois labor aristocracy.”

 In addition, her membership in the pro Hamas group BDS is a terrible insult to people, Jews and Arabs, who support the two state solution. If anyone reading this does not understand how Hamas and its supporters like Kshama obstruct the peace movement, they might rer\ad this report form Amnesty International: Hamas Tortured, Killed Palestinians During Gaza War
