I feel kind of sorry for the third guy who can’t get a word in edgeways during Chris Matthews’s spectacular dismantlement of right-wing radio host Kevin James. The point is: when you make, or try to defend, incredibly stupid historical comparisons—like Bush’s recent comments to the Israeli Knesset that Barack Obama is an appeaser just like those who tried to appease Hitler before the war—you’d better have a fucking clue what actually happened. It’s not enough simply to yell “appeaser, appeaser, appeaser” and hope nobody notices that you are a complete ignoramus, primarily because it’s historically and intellectually irresponsible, but also because one day you’ll be on TV and get your ass owned by Chris Matthews.
