You're damn right it is!
And you call this "America"?
Here's a clip from an article by Danielle Ryan at "blacklisted" RT which you probably shouldn't read because it undoubtedly transform you into a Russian agent or a Kremlin apologist:
"This is a witch hunt. It is neo-McCarthyism, plain and simple. The people who are outright calling Stein a Russian agent are making a complete mockery of themselves and of the American political process...
"Dragging Stein into this mess ... shows Clinton Democrats up for what they really are. It proves that the 'Resist' crowd's crusade is not just about Trump and 'collusion' -- it's also about discrediting all dissenting American voices and establishing their own definition of what political opposition is supposed to look like -- and for the Clinton cult, it's not supposed to look like Jill Stein...
"Anyone who disagrees with the Democrats is a Putin puppet -- and if you've ever been to Moscow, forget it -- don't even bother trying to defend yourself. Off with your head." ("McCarthy-style targeting of Jill Stein proves Democrats have truly lost the plot," RT)
Bravo, Ryan! You nailed it, girl. It's too bad America's liberals don't see things so clearly.
The World Socialist Web Site also issued a statement condemning the attacks on Stein. As always, the WSWS is on the forefront of the issue while the other phony liberal sites and pundits continue to support these thoroughly-corrupted and reactionary investigations. Here's an except from their statement:
"The Socialist Equality Party condemns the targeting of Jill Stein, the Green Party presidential candidate in the 2016 election, by the neo-McCarthyite witch-hunters on the Senate Intelligence Committee... The attack on Stein, spearheaded by the Democratic Party, is an unconstitutional attempt to delegitimize and suppress political opposition to the monopoly of the capitalist two-party system...
"In addition to the dinner hosted by RT, Stein, according to ranking committee Democrat Mark Warner, had 'very complimentary things to say about Julian Assange.'... For having spoken out publicly in support of a political prisoner and dissident, Stein is threatened with being hauled before a congressional committee as if she were involved in treasonous activity.
"This is the Orwellian reality of America in 2017, ruled by two right-wing, oligarchic parties that can and will tolerate no political opposition..." ("Democratic Party witch-hunters target Green Party candidate Jill Stein," World Socialist Web Site)
Imagine that; Stein actually spoke up for Assange, the highly-principled whistleblower who sacrificed his own freedom to expose the truth about Washington's homicidal activities around the world? That's got to be worth 30 years of hard labor at least!
What a farce! Here's more from the Times:
"Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the committee's top Democrat, would not comment directly on the committee's interest in Ms. Stein, but pointed out that several of the interactions appeared to be consequential.
"'I will point out though that Ms. Stein was at the infamous dinner that included General Flynn and Vladimir Putin, and we do know that she has very complimentary things to say about Julian Assange, who certainly was being used by the Russians to take some of the hacked information and release it into our political system,' he said.
"The disclosure that the committee is looking closely at Ms. Stein's campaign is the latest indication that the Senate committee is still expanding its investigation as it nears the one-year mark." (New York Times)
