Huffington Post ^ | 02/20/2015 8:20 am EST | Robert Naiman

A recent CNN poll found that four out of five Democratic voters oppose the Israeli Prime Minister's planned March 3 tirade to Congress against diplomacy. Thursday morning, twenty-three House Democrats did something about it. They sent a letter calling on House Speaker John Boehner to postpone Netanyahu's scheduled March 3 address.

The signers were:

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC); Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN); Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), top Democrat on the House Financial Services committee; Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR); Rep. André Carson (D-IN); Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-MI), top Democrat on Judiciary; Rep. Danny Davis (D-IL); Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR), top Democrat on Transportation and Infrastructure; Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL); Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX); Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA); Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA); Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN); Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA); Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA); Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX); Rep. Donald Payne Jr. (NJ); Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME); Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI), First Vice-Chair of the CPC; Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA); Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ); Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT); Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY).

In addition, The Hill reports that so far the following other fourteen Members of Congress who caucus as Democrats have said that they will not attend the speech if it goes forward:

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT); Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT); Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI); Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-NC), head of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC); Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), third ranking Democratic leader in the House; Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO); Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD); Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ); co-chair of the CPC; Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC); Rep. John Lewis (D-GA); Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY); Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY); Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA); Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS).

Tirade, against diplomacy? So, they got an advance copy of Bibi's speech over at CNN?

So fitting that the party that booed God and pushed Him out of their platform would boycott the spokesman for God’s chosen!

Absolutely unmasked, unhinged and unabashed polemic from huffpo, yet they project same onto Bibi before he has even uttered a word.

Apparently he can do no right, say no right, that will placate them no matter if it has their own best interests at heart. I’m pretty sure Bibi is on the right side of this argument.

Isn’t there something in the Bible that predicted all of this hatred towards Jews and all of the strife that is going on now?

Scary times...

Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away away.
When danger reared it’s ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.

****Bravely**** taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Robin!

Absolutely no evidence of bias there.
