Obama, Iran deal supporters shouldn’t stifle debate President Obama discussed the Iran nuclear deal at American University in Washington. By Alan M. Dershowitz August 13, 2015
A great debate is underway regarding the nuclear agreement with Iran — and the Obama administration is losing. Unhappy with the growing opposition to his legacy deal, President Obama is trying to stifle the debate by attacking the personal motives and public-communication methods of those who oppose the pact.
He recently derided some prominent opponents as “the same columnists and former administration officials that were responsible for us getting into the Iraq war.” Those comments followed last month’s characterization of deal critics as “talking heads and pundits, and folks who are not going to be making sacrifices, if in fact you end up in a conflict, who are reprising the same positions we saw during the Iraq war.”
Obama has also decried the millions spent by organizations in opposition, saying they have been “putting the squeeze” on members of Congress with TV ads and lobbying campaigns. These groups, he claims, are backed primarily by “billionaires who happily finance super PACs” and are “opposed to any deal with Iran.” In a July 18 address, he seemed particularly hostile to the influence of AIPAC; speaking a day after the pro-Israel lobbying group came out against the deal, he urged Congress to evaluate the agreement “based on facts . . . not based on lobbying.”

After just coming to hitlerys defense in servergate, now this?
Epstein, please pick up the white courtesy phone, little allen needs another trip upon the magical Lolita express.
The President of the United States has presented an agreement to Congress to give terrorists, who openly avow the destruction of this country, nuclear weapons.
That Congress has not convened a treason trial in response, is treasonous in itself.
Global alarmists love to talk up AGW, but absolutely refuse to debate with skeptics. Anybody want to bet it will be the same way here and it will be a long, cold day in a very hot place before any Obamunist rises to debate Dersh?
mau-mauing.
meaning.. "to intimidate by hostile confrontation or threats"
See "Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers" by Tom Wolfe
Mr. Dershowitz should remember the 1960s and the campus radical, psycho spoiled brats with their mau-mauing.
The Obama Administration is aging 1960s campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological litter of which Obama is one. They've been occupying buildings on the Beltway Campus for more than six years.
Additionally it's the same Cold War bullshti that pro-Soviets in Washington used saying that we had to be nice to the Soviet Union and help them lest we play into the hands of the Soviet hard liners, there will be war, and it will be out fault.
Typical Obamaspeak.
“The debate is over, and any one who stifles debate is not worth debating.”
Dershowitz is against the Iran so-called agreement.
Right out of the Alinsky manual for Marxist community organizers.
I gathered that, hitlery is, for all intent and purpose-FOR IT, until she’s against it.
His only redeeming quality is his statement about Sen. Cruz-Brilliant.
