Fury of left falls on Schumer

Liberals are livid at Sen. Charles Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) decision to oppose the White House’s nuclear deal with Iran, and have threatened to launch a full-scale war as retribution.

Activists and former top officials within the Obama administration are openly contemplating whether Schumer’s stance disqualifies him from serving as the next Senate Democratic leader — which he is primed to do — and seeking to temporarily cut off money to Democrats in the upper chamber. It’s unclear whether Schumer’s announcement will have a devastating effect on the White House’s efforts to prevent Democrats from killing the deal when it comes up for a vote in Congress next month.

But it’s clear that he will be Public Enemy No. 1 for liberal activists throughout the August recess, as they aim to rally support from Democrats on the agreement.

This is all Kabuki theater. Everyone knows Chuck is not going to lobby his colleagues to vote against Obama's treacherous deal....Chuck is doing this for his constituency who feel threatened and so they should, by Iran and her ability to hurt Israel....It amazes me that Obama is still in office. No other American would cave in so easily to an enemy and were he White, this Nation would have him removed from office or worse. It is amazing how many of our elected still follow this Communist...America is really, really in trouble.
