"Appeaser"

Wow, what a big news day we've had! McCain laid out an Iraq withdrawal plan, after eliminating Romney by condemning him for even suggesting withdrawal. The California Supreme Court righteously ruled in favor of gay marriage. And George Bush flew all the way to Israel to attack the presumptive Democratic nominee, Barack Obama, over his willingness to actually speak to our enemies.
This last brought one Kevin James out of the woodwork, a right-wing talk show host from some hole in California, who has great fondness for the word "appeaser". It's actually quite possible it's the only word he knows. Chris Matthews brought Mr. James onto Hardball tonight to discuss the history of "appeasement" further. What followed were probably the worst 7 minutes of Mr. James' short, stupid life.
I highly, highly recommend you watch this clip. The question Matthews asks is simple: what did British PM Neville Chamberlain do in Munich, prior to Hitler's invasion of Poland and the start of WWII, that led history to pin the term "appeaser" on him? The "answer" James provides is the verbal autopsy of a man subjected to brain death by right-wing propaganda. Just skip to the 3 minute 50 second mark (3:50), and let it roll. Damn, when Chris is on, he is on.
