Warning: unless you like watching a conservative radio host shout repeatedly that Barack Obama is an appeaser, don’t watch:
KABC talk show host Kevin James tests Chris Matthew’s patience by refusing to acknowledge he didn’t know the history behind recent comments Bush made comparing anyone who’d want to talk to Iran or Hamas to Nazi appeaser Neville Chamberlain.
After three minutes of shouting that Bush was referring to Barack Obama, and that Obama would be an appeaser, he finally acknowledges that he doesn’t know why Neville Chamberlain is called an appeaser, sticking with the belief that its because Chamberlain simply tried talking with Hitler.
Chris Matthews finally stepped in with a brief history lesson:
“He signed the Munich Agreement, conceding a portion of Czechoslovakia to the Nazi regime.”
For the record, the Bush Adminsitration clarified earlier today that they were referring to President Carter as the appeaser. Not sure if Kevin James got the memo in between his empty rants.

Kevin is one of many Republicans who use code words without knowledge of what cause and effect is.
Bush’s comments to Knesset will, I think, further enrage the Middle East and Muslims in general. Typical . Similar to “Bring it On.”
World history should be a must for anyone running for president. Otherwise, the same mistakes will be made.
Too, it helps to have people not accustomed to bullying, bragging, swaggering.
