Bush on May 15, 2008 during a speech to the Knesset in Israel. Bush implied that there was a connection between Britain's pre-World War II Conservative Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement towards Hitler and the policies of leading Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama, in reference to Obama's expressed willingness to meet with the leaders of certain American adversaries in the Middle East. James was challenged by Matthews to explain exactly what Chamberlain did, which he was unable to do, instead repeating, "It's the same thing" in a loud, high-pitched voice during five minutes of repeated questioning. Fellow guest Mark J. Green of Air America radio was clearly embarrassed for Kevin James' glaring lack of knowledge, and urged James to stop digging himself further into "a hole". Green also explained how Conservative talking heads often know nothing about what they're saying, but merely repeat buzzwords designed to frighten and mislead Americans. Although claiming to reiterate what Bush said, he eventually admitted " he did not know" what appeasement meant, nor who Neville Chamberlain was, leading Matthews to state: "if you don't know what appeasement is about then don't talk about it." Matthews dismissed James as "pathetic," going on to draw a distinction between appeasing one's adversaries (by giving them something) and simply talking to them. Matthews was clearly disappointed in his guest, and explained the difference between historical appeasers like the conservative Neville Chamberlain (who handed Czechoslovakia to Hitler) and modern leaders like Barack Obama who favor negotiation. Matthews also pointed out the Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates both favored engagement with Iran. Matthews accused James of being a "blank slate" in regard to American and World history, much like White House spokesman Dana Perino, who in an earlier public appearance had no idea what the Cuban Missile Crisis was. The episode continued on for about 10 minutes[4][5][6][7]

Wrong. They're smart conmen, very good at what they do. They are ignorant, yes, but that is not affecting their job performance.

I agree.

The usual shit-for-brains crowd around here gets so upset when any sort of actor or musician expresses a political viewpoint, but then they worship people like Hannity and O'Reilly for their political opinions, when these talking heads are just glorified actors themselves.

If you guys think that douchebags like Hannity or OReilly are stupid you're deluding yourselves.

Bush open up a big can of worms.

Someone with brain will figure out the following:

Bush negotiated with North Korea
Reagan negtiated with Iran
Bush Sr. and Rumsfeld negotiated with Saddam's Iraq.

I'm sure there's more. Bush should come out and call himself, Ronald Reagan, and his father appeasers.

Are Republican's jumping off cliffs by their own volition?

that loud mouth little republican bitch got called out. what a pathetic fool.

As a conservative, I am starting to get really pissed off at the people who are choosing to represent conservatives in the media. I mean, can we please have a conservative that isn't a political hack and has an IQ above 50? Or is that too much to ask? I sure hope the rise of Neo-Conservatism is just temporary. These people make my brain hurt.

Man, I wouldn't want to show my face or pretend I knew what I was talking about again after that. I wonder how his listeners will rationalize it.

I think it is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Only ofter the ashes are burnt can it return to glory in the fiscal conservative old school republican manner. I hope Ron Paul is still alive to see it happen. For now, its a funeral, but the seeds of the future have been planted.

Good luck with that. The Republican Party has gone the way of the Constitution and the Bible.
