The Democrats solution for peace with Iran. | #NetanyahuSpeech pic.twitter.com/iFeH7QuLur — The Political Hat (@ThePoliticalHat) March 3, 2015

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to a joint session of Congress to give fair warning of the intent of Iranian leaders. Unsurprisingly, all the usual suspects threw a hissy-fit. Why did they have a hissy-fit? Because doubting that diplomatic solutions with a regime that had openly declared their intent to commit genocide somehow totes bad!

The media, of course, were the first to put their feet in their collective mouth:

Hey remember when our foreign policy was based on reacting to actual attacks not just potential perceived threats?! Yeah that. — Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) March 3, 2015

.@sallykohn, Israel basing their foreign policy to "reacting to actual attacks" = waiting to be Nuked. Why do you support genocide? — The Political Hat (@ThePoliticalHat) March 3, 2015

Iran or ISIS could throw @sallykohn off a building (and would) and she'd compliment them on the view on the way down. pic.twitter.com/ZKf5oSzDP3 — Bob Owens (@bob_owens) March 3, 2015

.@davidaxelrod Pro-tip: The Iranian leaders aren't interested in sipping hot cocoa while talking about #Obamacare. — The Political Hat (@ThePoliticalHat) March 3, 2015

Of course Congressional Democrats got in on the act:

.@HouseDemocrats complaining about #NetanyahuSpeech is like @HouseofCommons members whining about Churchill in 1938. — The Political Hat (@ThePoliticalHat) March 3, 2015

House Democrats are flipping #Bibi the bird. | #NetanyahuSpeech — The Political Hat (@ThePoliticalHat) March 3, 2015

House Democrat just said that Iran's policy is "bizarre". It's not bizarre, but it is evil. Understand it is evil = understand Iran. — The Political Hat (@ThePoliticalHat) March 3, 2015

The #NetanyahuSpeech is not unprecedented: A Democratic House flipped the bird to Truman by inviting MacArthur to speak. — The Political Hat (@ThePoliticalHat) March 3, 2015

The President, obviously, felt the need to whine about it

The idea that we the only choice vis a vis Iran is either compromise or total war is false manichean one. | #NetanyahuSpeech — The Political Hat (@ThePoliticalHat) March 3, 2015

To whit:

Diplomacy with a regime that has declared their intent to destroy you, isn't. @HouseDemocrats = FAIL. | #NetanyahuSpeech — The Political Hat (@ThePoliticalHat) March 3, 2015
