In the US, the President is not the "Government." Glen Greenwald and all the Israel-hating hacks didn't criticize Pelosi's trip to Syria when Bush was in office.

Putting American interests first = "Israel-hating hack"?

if your definition of "putting American interests first" = consistently siding against Israel, then yes.

There's nothing treasonous about what Cantor said, and it's hilarious that some people think it is.

It is however, pretty terrible when a politician says he will support the interests of a foreign country over those of his own country.

The only reason people like Rahm Emmanuel or Eric Cantor are involved in American government, is because they can do a lot more for Israel by getting into elected office here, than they can by moving there.

that's not what Cantor said. that part was Greenwald's spin.

Criticizing your government politics is one, but I think, while I wouldn't call it a "treason", disawoving your govermnent in favor of foreign country, no matter what foreign country, interests, is out of the line.

isn't Eric Cantor also a part of the government?
