Democrats are in high dudgeon over an open letter 47 United States Senators sent to the Iranian regime on Monday which warned that any deal brokered by the president could be revoked by Congress.
Soon after the letter was made public, an incensed Obama suggested that the senators were in league with mad mullahs of Tehran:
“I think it’s somewhat ironic to see some members of Congress wanting to make common cause with the hard-liners in Iran. It’s an unusual coalition.”
Here is what the letter stated, and you tell me if they are making common cause with our enemies:
“The next president,” the letter stated, “could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen, and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time.”
It would seem the Republicans in Congress are in agreement with the Prime Minister of Israel and the leaders of the Arab world who fear that the Obama administration is brokering a terrible deal with the mad mullahs – a deal of appeasement and capitulation. A deal that allows Iran to go nuclear.
This is not what any sane person would call “making common cause with hard-liners.”
But taking their cue from the man at the top, Vice President Joe Biden, WH Spox Josh Earnest, The New York Daily News, former WH speechwriter Jon Lovett, and others have hysterically accused the 47 republican senators of high treason. The hashtag #47Traitors is currently trending on Twitter.
This is a disgusting twisting of the facts but all part of a well coordinated campaign – as laid out by Ace of Spades on Twitter:
The Technique: President Precious Perfect makes one statement, like "making common cause with hardliners in Iran," then…

…there comes a period of Coordinated Minion Amplifications by footsoldiers who amp this up to "Traitor."

There is someone who appears to be making “common cause with the hardliners in Iran.” And it’s not the Republicans.
It is the president himself who has sent secret love letters to the ayatollahs.
Obama has made it manifestly clear that he doesn’t like our longtime ally, Israel – as Ralph Peters so succinctly put it – “if Israel disappeared from the face of the earth tomorrow, Obama would not shed a single tear.” It is feared that Obama administration has already accepted that Iran will get the bomb and create a new hegemony in the Middle East – and is just hoping that the first blast happens on someone else’s watch.
But in Obama’s America where black is white, up is down, right is wrong – it is those who stand up for America and the free world – who are the “traitors.”
Hyperventilating Democrats are trying to claim that the GOP letter may have violated the Logan Act – which “has never actually been used for prosecution, nor has its Constitutionality been seriously reviewed in two hundred years” according to Breitbart’s Ben Shapiro. If Republicans violated the Logan Act, so did the Democrats – who have a disgusting history of colluding against Republican presidents with our nation’s enemies:
