This is very much a false equivalency.

It's Dandelion's stock in trade and a well known tool of apologists of all kinds.

After Boris Johnson harangue re Syria/Russia, the BBC has just admitted on its overseas broadcast (10.10 pm EST) that there is too loud a double standard with respect to Yemen/Saudi.

This isn't about Huffpo or any other source, this is about a lack of awareness.

Afaik, the Saudis aren't doing an armed proxy land grab in Yemen as in Crimea.
Are they supporting a tyrannical regime by bombing rebel areas in the guise of assaulting ISIS?
Not saying the Saudi get a free pass, their outrages call for accountability.

That's how he comes across as a Presidential candidate. And it was a generic description and not namecalling.

I fervently desire a legitimate alternative to Hillz, but Gary just isn't that, imo.
