A-please-ment

This is important so I thought I would say something today instead of posting what I was planning on writing.

If I hear one more republican water carrier say the word appeasement without defining exactly what the appeasers did I am going to freak; especially if they want to use it as an attack.



This, if it works, is a video of Chris Matthews of Hardball on MSNBC catching one of his guests out when he tries to connect Obama to anti-Israeli feelings and Neville Chamberlain but does not even know what Chamberlain did and takes 5 minutes and 16 seconds to admit it. White House people, but not the press secretary, said this was about Obama. This is getting ridiculous. I wish I had entered into a pool for how long McCain could uphold his nice, attack-free campaign. I had it pegged for the middle of this week and it happened on Thursday that he compared Obama to Chamberlain. The problem they all seem to have is the same one that has been plaguing them for this entire presidency. They do not know history. They didn’t remember the occupation of the Philippines and compare it to Iraq or think of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The adage is true, history does repeat itself.

An even bigger problem is that they do not know the difference between diplomacy an d appeasement. Appeasement is when something is given away in exchange for a guarantee of a certain action while diplomacy requires no give and take. If they are telling the truth that this is not about Obama, then it must be them. They are calling to negotiate with Iran and are actively negotiating with North Korea. That Condoleezza Rice, she is so much like those conservatives and republicans who sought to appease the Nazis...oh wait.
