Thanks for making this list! This will be a handy reference in the future.
What is most amazing is the general attitude of the Left: “Gee, I wonder what he means by all that?” Hint: He means if he gets nukes he’ll use them on Israel.
You’re welcome! There might be more–this psycho says this stuff every time he gets a chance.
I agree with you about the Left’s denial and excuse-making in regards to Iran. I can’t help but marvel at the willful blindness–the refusal to connect A (hell-to-breakfast scramble for nuclear technology) and B (constant, explicit threats to wipe out a sovereign state). If that blindness weren’t putting millions of lives in peril, it would be funny. Since it does, however, it’s murderous and repugnant. A good example of how good intentions and being “non-judgmental” can make one the handmaiden to evil.
