Thom Hartmann: Democrats Voting to Limit Syrian Refugees Are ‘Traitors’
Lib Radio Host Thom Hartmann Labels Democrats Voting to Limit Syrian Refugees 'Traitors' (NewsBusters)
It's always amusing when liberals accuse conservatives of treason for the audacious alleged crime of disagreeing with them on national security. Even more amusing is when liberals accuse other left wingers of treason. The silver lining here -- some of those accused become potential converts to conservatism after deciding they've had enough of loyalty tests on the left.
Radio host Thom Hartmann, whose program is among the most influential on that short list of influential liberal radio shows, could barely contain his contempt for nearly four dozen House Democrats who broke ranks with the party and voted for Republican legislation to tighten oversight of Syrian and Iraqi refugees entering the U.S.
Once Hartmann got going on his rant during Monday's show, it didn't take long for him to all but suggest that a large scarlet T should be embroidered on the apparel of every Democrat voting in favor of the GOP bill.
