President Obama has been talking to the Iranian president about nuclear arsenals and sanctions, and Sally Kohn wishes the House Republicans were as open:
Iranian president is obviously more rational actor than House GOP… #notsayingmuch
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) September 27, 2013
Not to ruin a bogus talking point, but isn’t Obama the one who refuses to negotiate with Republicans?
In the attempt to score cheap points against the House GOP, it’s amazing what little things the Left is willing to overlook in order to do so:
Does @sallykohn know that Iran's government hangs gay people? Clearly not.

But, but Tea Party!
There was of course some backpedaling involved:
Do the Right wing haters actually READ my tweet? Or just press auto-vomit? Note the #notsayingmuch part re Rouhani tweet
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) September 27, 2013
.@sallykohn Yes, I read that tweet and quit trying to make up shit. You said Iranian president is more rational than House GOP.

Others took Kohn’s side:
Sad but true: POTUS is finding that even thugs like Putin & Rouhani are easier to deal with than Tea Party Republicans.

Can it be that Hassan Rouhani is showing more flexibility than Ted Cruz? #WhosTheFundamentalistNow?

Again, Obama and Reid are the people who refuse to negotiate, but maybe this is the Dem’s way of trying to convince their domestic opponents to be more theocratic.
So, in summary:
@instapundit So Obama won't negotiate with the GOP ("suicide bombers") but with Iran, that actually funds and sends suicide bombers. Perfect

That way of thinking makes sense to somebody, but not us.
