Shakti, it's really not cool to call posters on this forum names. It will get you kicked off. Play nice. Be civil.
I also found the article disturbing on many counts. While I disagree with 99% of what this blogger Vox quoted, he did bring up some important points.
The rest is the opinion of a self-professed "Human Rights" advocate, which can mean anything. If you search his blog, he has one point of view only, which is anti-Israel and anti-Hindu. If you only get your news from Fox or Alternet, right or left wing perspectives, you surely miss the boat. He lays out a plot for the reader while ignoring facts and tweaking history.
We do not to manufacture information about the cult of Butler on this forum. When found wrong, we correct mistakes. While opinions and politics may differ, no one here is a Nazi.
For the purposes of this forum, The blogger mentions nothing about Chris Butler and the cult that raised her. It is also unlikely that her rich Hindu donors care about her cult affiliation as long as they get favors. That's politics.
Not sure if you have noticed other politicians take from foreign countries. Both the Bush and Clinton campaigns were/are heavily financed by the Saudis. I doubt the blogger would object to that. But that is not the topic of this forum.
The blogger calls Tulsi out as an anti-Muslim bigot because of her connection with Modi among other things. Fair enough. Perhaps this is true. She certainly wore the mantle of bigotry with her, previous, but now disavowed anti-LGBT stance which was directly correlated to her cult affiliation. So while I don't respect this blogger as a reliable source, he brings up a good point that needs investigation.
I happen to agree with some of the things Tulsi has said and done, but that is not the topic of this forum. I also like Tom Cruise movies and some of the things he has said and done, but that does not make me a Scientology apologist.

Gabbard’s ties with the rich Gujarati Hindu Americans, most of whom are BJP financiers, are well known.
