TPM: Three Reasons To Boycott Netanyahu's Speech To Congress (Projectile Vomit Alert!)
Talking Points Memo ^ | 3-2-2015 | Sally Kohn

Posted on 03/02/2015 1:47:01 PM PST by tcrlaf

On Tuesday morning, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address a joint session of the United States Congress. Netanyahu was invited to speak not through standard diplomatic procedures—the kind of procedures, say, that the President of the United States might go through to speak to Israel’s Knesset. Instead, Netanyahu got a special invitation from Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner.

Boehner and Congressional Republicans—who can't seem to do the most basic parts of their job in funding government agencies and our national security apparatus for more than a week at a time—are trying to thumb their noses at the White House. Netanyahu, no fan of Obama himself, is obliging. And anyone who attends or watches the speech is helping.

As if that isn’t reason enough not to tune in, here are three other reasons why Members of Congress and all of us should heed the call to boycott Netanyahu’s speech.

Netanyahu is trying to scuttle promising negotiations with Iran.

According to a poll last year, that 60 percent of American voters—including a strong majority of both Democrats, Independents and Republicans—support making a deal with Iran to limit the country’s nuclear enrichment capacity and impose additional inspections in exchange for easing some of the existing sanctions. And yet despite President Obama’s veto threat, pointing out the harm that would be done to promising negotiations so far, Republicans are threatening to increase sanctions on Iran now that Republicans control both the House and Senate. This approach is endorsed by only 35 percent of Americans. And yet it’s supported by one prominent non-American—Bibi Netanyahu.

Libs out in force on Twitter to spew counter-points already hand-fed to them, especially the “Bibi doesn’t speak for all Jews!!” one.

The HATE toward Netanyahu and Israel on Twitter today has been breathtaking...

Iran just simulated blowing up American ships.
That is a FACT.

Iran was involved in the first WTC bombing and murders
of Marines. That is a FACT.

And so the White Mosque raises its antisemitic
finger in the air as a ISIS salute
to its allies in ... Iran.

I was going to post Sally’s photo, but she makes Rachael Madcow look like Miss Kansas/
And it looks like her politics are driven by her genitals, like most homosexualists.

Sorry, we don’t buy the numbers Sally.
Any way that’s not how this country works.
I have yet to see anything that gives the
president the veto power over who can address
congress.

The hubris and the overbearing contempt of the left is
something we have allowed to go on for far too long.

Obie hates it! Therefore it must be horrible!

This is the “logic” that this hypnotic mantra guising itself as news is indulging in.

Blatant fabricationism is a tradition with the Left. Not to be surprised.
