Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to a joint session of Congress to give fair warning of the intent of Iranian leaders. Unsurprisingly, all the usual suspects threw a hissy-fit. Why did they have a hissy-fit? Because doubting that diplomatic solutions with a regime that had openly declared their intent to commit genocide somehow totes bad!
The media, of course, were the first to put their feet in their collective mouth:
Hey remember when our foreign policy was based on reacting to actual attacks not just potential perceived threats?! Yeah that.

.@sallykohn, Israel basing their foreign policy to "reacting to actual attacks" = waiting to be Nuked. Why do you support genocide?

Iran or ISIS could throw @sallykohn off a building (and would) and she'd compliment them on the view on the way down. pic.twitter.com/ZKf5oSzDP3

.@davidaxelrod Pro-tip: The Iranian leaders aren't interested in sipping hot cocoa while talking about #Obamacare.

Of course Congressional Democrats got in on the act:
.@HouseDemocrats complaining about #NetanyahuSpeech is like @HouseofCommons members whining about Churchill in 1938.

House Democrat just said that Iran's policy is "bizarre". It's not bizarre, but it is evil. Understand it is evil = understand Iran.

The #NetanyahuSpeech is not unprecedented: A Democratic House flipped the bird to Truman by inviting MacArthur to speak.

The President, obviously, felt the need to whine about it
The idea that we the only choice vis a vis Iran is either compromise or total war is false manichean one. | #NetanyahuSpeech

To whit:
Diplomacy with a regime that has declared their intent to destroy you, isn't. @HouseDemocrats = FAIL. | #NetanyahuSpeech
