Republican senator compares Iran deal to Nazi appeasement

Not a real shocker considering the usual blather that comes from GOP politicians....

Republican senator compares Iran deal to Nazi appeasement
April 2nd 2015 - COLIN CAMPBELL

Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Illinois) had a sharply critical assessment of the new framework for an nuclear agreement with Iran.

"Neville Chamberlain got a better deal from Adolf Hitler," Kirk said Thursday, according to Roll Call. "Under today’s deal, the United States and its international partners will dismantle the sanctions regime against Iran, while Iran, the world's biggest exporter of terrorism, will be allowed to keep vast capabilities to make nuclear weapons."

Kirk seemed to be comparing the new Iranian deal to the 1938 Munich Agreement where the United Kingdom allowed the Nazi Party government of German dictator Adolph Hitler to expand. Many people believe British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was insufficiently aggressive with Nazi Germany as it initially spread across Europe prior to World War II.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...nice try Again..........shut-up.......


It seems "they" Always "recognize" Immediately, "terror and misery and threats and doom" coming down the pike...they Always (breathlessly) tap Every single social media site, appear on Every/Any available camera and tell us All about it....for Decades...and "it" never comes to fruition-but hey! We get "it" the "authoritarian instinct" embedded in the GOP soul knows Best about "that" sort of "appeasement", right?

PEACE is what a majority of us want. So, please...just shut the hell up for once.

Frank Luntz must be getting lazy. The GOP talking points are predictably lame.

Sen. Mark Kirk says Obama is pulling a bad Chamberlain. Meanwhile he says Bibi is "the Winston Churchill of our time.”

Lawmakers Impressed But Unmoved By Bibi Speech

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/03/bibi-iran-congress_n_6795404.html

But Churchill thought enough of Chamberlain to make him a member of his War Cabinet, so that means Bibi should be buds with Obama now....or something?

And who gets to be Hitler?
