Senators Petition Boehner to Postpone Netanyahu Speech

A group of Democrats in the House of Representatives are circulating a petition asking Republican Speaker John Boehner to postpone the March 3 speech by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to a joint meeting of Congress, Bloomberg reported on Monday.

“As members of Congress who support Israel, we share concern that it appears that you are using a foreign leader as a political tool against the president,” states the letter, which is being circulated among lawmakers by Representatives Keith Ellison, Steve Cohen and Maxine Waters.

The three started sending the petition to fellow lawmakers last week, said Mike Casca, a spokesman for Ellison of Minnesota.

The names of all lawmakers signing it won’t be released until later this week, he told Bloomberg.

While the petition asks Boehner to delay the speech, it stops short of declaring that members signing won’t attend.

Netanyahu’s speech has become a point of contention not just between Israelis and Americans, but also between Republicans and Democrats.

Uh oh. Boner is being pressured. It's a phony, ginned-up issue, but Democrats are doing the pressuring. Get out of the way!

[Truth29]

Keith Ellison. Muslim and could his motives be less than pure concerning the future of Israel?

[ransacked]

We ought to place bets as to what Boehner will do. This is his chance to stand up and be a man, but the smart money says he will cave.

[EagleUSA]

Rats trying to shovel dirt over what could be a major expose’ of Obamas hate and irresponsibility toward Israel.

Too late RATS.

$10 Freeper Bucks says Boner folds.

Someone take me up on it. He stands firm I donate $10, he folds, you donate it.

Yes, I have already donated.

the Enemy Within is outing iself!

(we are keeping the names for our ANTI-contributions list, the G-damned basturds!)

[Rome2000]

These are the marxist enemy within that will be held to account when it hits the fan.

NO QUARTER FOR THE CPUSA

[Eleutheria5]

I don’t think the bet will even have any takers. It’s practically done. This is bony. The man who barely got Anthony Wiener to quit, even after he was caught wanking on line twice. Most ineffective speaker ever, a/k/a, the cheap umbrella. (I’m trying to taunt him into manning up) Wimp. Wuss. Sissy-boy.

Amin Al Husseini seen inspecting his Hanzar Division made up exclusively of Muslims, mostly from the Crotia/Bosnia/Serbia region. They actively lead the genocide against Serbs, Serbian Jews and Gypsies.

Amin Al Husseini meets with Adolf Hitler in November 1942, weeks before the decision to implement the Final Solution which sent Europe's Jews to the gas chamber. The Third Reich provided Amin Al Husseini with a salary and appointed him Head of the Hanzar SS Division. The Hanzar Division was made of Nazi Muslims and implemented the genocide of 250,000 Serbs, Gypsies and Jews during WWII.

Amin Al Husseini shown here on a Nazi poster recruiting fellow Muslims to join Hitler in the fight against the West and the Jews. His disciples today include Yasser Arafat, Saddam Hussein and the leaders of Hamas, Al Qeida and Islamic Jihad.

Amin Al Husseini, future President of the World Islamic Congress (1961) and founding father of the Arab League (1944) inspects his Muslim Nazi troops, the Hanzar Division. Amin Al Husseini making the traditional nazi salute.

Yasser Arafat became a disciple of Amin Al Husseini since the age of 17. Here: recent picture of Palestinian soldiers under the leadership of Arafat making the traditional Nazi salute.

Boehner has the Rats over a barrel, even though His Squishiness probably didn’t even realize he was doing it.

If this clown ever wants to establish any sort of credibility with average Republicans, let alone conservatives, he needs to tell them to GTH.

[Colorado Doug]

Sure, they want it delayed until after Obama okays the Iran nuke deal.

[parmamenian]

Pretty sure the “Tool” is not Netanyahu. I can think of a person right here in the states that better fits that description!

$10 Freeper Bucks says Boner folds.

Someone take me up on it. He stands firm I donate $10, he folds, you donate it.

Yes, I have already donated.

Though I'm no fan of Boehner's I'll take that and put up another $10 Freeper Bucks he doesn't fold to anyone who wants to take it.

Please bump the Freepathon or click above to donate or become a monthly donor!

[God luvs America]

sadly i agree with you...this is a major opportunity for Boehner and the GOPe; odds are the ef it up...

[Eleutheria5]

Not getting a nuke deal would politically hurt the President, though. Therefore, it’s all about him, not the Middle East or any chance for stability therein.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Democrats are doing the pressuring

Eff them. Elections have consequences.

[stormhill]

A petition is being circulated by Keith Ellison who is, as you point out, a Muslim and Maxine Waters who is, well, Maxine Waters which reads

“As members of Congress who support Israel..."

With such supporters Israel needs no detractors.

[Eleutheria5]

Not if Republicans win. Then they must reach out to the Democrats and let them know that there’s no hard feelings, especially not after the high-handed way the Dems behaved the last time they were in the majority.

[Jane Long]

I’ll take your $10.00 bet! I say he’ll fold like a cheap suit. If he doesn’t, good for him - for once...and you can color me surprised (orange...in honor of Boehner).

And, FR wins, either way ;-)

(Please ping, once the verdict is in. Thanks ;)
