Just how much do the Internet’s conservatives support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who gave a “partisan” speech to Congress Tuesday?
They go much farther than just using the Twitter hashtag #IStandWithBibi.
For many on the far right, taking sides on the issue of whether Netanyahu should even be speaking at Capitol Hill has more to do with being anti-President Obama than it does being pro-Israel.
Using Twitter, they’ve made one thing clear: they really, really wish Netanyahu would extend his Washington trip for about, say, four to eight years.
#IStandWithBibi <<<America craving a leader after six years of drought. #tcot #IStandWithIsrael

Ironically, the beginning of Obama’s presidency was filled with accusations from the far right questioning his American citizenship. For some, the idea of having a foreigner president isn’t such a bad idea after all.
