President Obama an Appeaser? Go Ask Bin Laden!

I don't blame the President for being so blunt. Being called an "appeaser"--much like being accused of treason--is a grave insult. You might not know that from how cavalierly talk radio and FOX "News" throw such loaded terms around. But they are historically and by definition very serious terms.

Chris Matthews Plays Hardball with Clueless Conservative

One of the most frustrating things about arguing with conservatives, in my experience, is the lack of a basis for their arguments. Whether it's with family, or if it is on a message board, I get drubbed with buzz-words and right-wing talking points, but with no substance. What do I mean?

To find out, check out this clip from MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews. In it, Matthews argues with a conservative named Kevin James (a radio talk show host I never heard of). James (who as far as I know never appeared in The King of Queens) throws around the words "appeasement" and "Neville Chamberlain," but has no idea what it all means.
