    With that title, I was expecting that the author could name more than 3 alleged smears from long ago.

      The Russia & Syria smears are being brought up all the time.

      The Russia one was particularly insane since criticizing NATO wars abroad and standing up for resolving conflicts through diplomacy has traditionally been the bread & butter of the anti-war left, right, but the origins of these criticisms and chief encouragers of this often are the alleged anti-war left.

      We are actually seeing something of a flip occur, right, with conservatives increasingly becoming a voice for peace and de-escalation in the world.

        Seems like the author could’ve cited plenty of examples, then, but just didn’t?
