Chris Matthews last night was great. They brought in this republican mouthpiece to support Bush’s statement. Matthews kept asking him, what exactly the comparison was referring to, and the guy finally admitted that he didn’t actually know the history behind it.
Chris then pointed out, that what is criticized about the dealings with Nazi Germay and Hitler, was not that we talked with him… Talking to foreign leaders is not appeasement, and is something that almost universally is viewed as helpful. What was done in error, was offering half of Czechlosovlokia to Hitler, that is appeasement… Giving in to demands or requests. Offering gifts to gain favor. You know, appeasing the enemy. It has nothing to do with talking to them, and Bush’s comments besides being disgraceful and horrible timed, were also completely innaccurate of fact and historical context…
