Rethugs Aligning With Iranian Hardliners
The harshest criticism of the framework for a negotiated settlement between the world powers and Iran is coming from Republican politicians who want to skip any negotiations and go right to war and their far-right counterparts in Iran who want a nuclear weapon and are eager for war, too. Crooks and Liars has a sampling of the Rethug reaction, and it's both ignorant and downright dishonest.
Of course, that reaction is founded not on what the framework actually says, but rather on doing whatever they can to undermine the President that they despise and want to bring down, coupled with a good amount of Likudnik-love going on. Who doubts that if Likudnik Prime Minister Bibi "Bibi Bomb Bomb" Netanyahu had been even lukewarm about the framework the Rethug tone would have been adjusted accordingly? They've simply outsourced Middle East foreign policy to Bibi Bomb Bomb in that part of the world.
BONUS: Simon Malloy tells us to also get ready for more of the Hitler/ Munich comparisons from the hysterical and disingenuous right-wingers.
