You always know you've struck gold when liberals react with hysteria and rage to something you've said. So I knew President Bush's speech at the Knesset last week was a barn burner before even I read it. Liberals haven't been this worked up since Rev. Jerry Falwell criticized a cartoon sponge.
Calling the fight against terrorism "the defining challenge of our time" -- which already confused liberals who think the defining struggle of our time is against Wal-Mart -- Bush said:
"Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."
The way liberals squealed, you'd think someone had mentioned Obama's ears. Summoning all their womanly anger, today's Neville Chamberlains denounced Bush, saying this was an unjustified attack on Obambi and, furthermore, that it's absurd to compare B. Hussein Obama's willingness to "talk" to Ahmadinejad to Neville Chamberlain's capitulation to Hitler.
Unlike liberals, I will honestly report their point before I attack it.
The New York Times editorialized: "Sen. Obama has called for talking with Iran and Syria," but has not "suggested surrendering to these countries' demands, which is, after all, what appeasement is."

Long time no chat! Pinging you to an Annie thread!
My favorite part:
As Air America’s Mark Green said: “Look, Hitler was Hitler.” (Which, I admit, threw me for a loop: I thought Air America’s position is that Bush is Hitler.)
Why do so many libs refuse to learn this?
ROFL! He actually looks better that way! More natural, I think.
Nice to see Ann adjusting her writing to use the FR vernacular.

Puts the dims in a nutshell ............ FRegards
True, but I still prefer Obamalamadingdong myself. But that's just me. :-)
She needs to cut her hair.
There isn’t a woman who ever lived who doesn’t look better with long hair.
Unless you prefer bulldykes.
Ann is just fine exactly the way she is and we’d be lucky to have a dozen more.”

Yep.
Classic Coulter. Great stuff.
The Senator that lamented the failure to have an opportunity to speak frankly with Adolf Hitler was William Edgar Borah, a Republican representing Idaho.
Republicans in 1938 were a much different breed.
They had fallen into a minority a mere eight years earlier, and still had the mindset of Prohibition and Calvin Coolidge to guide them. Righteous men, almost every one of them, conscientious and thrifty. They had been sent reeling by the sleight of hand that FDR was pulling at every juncture, and the thought of American isolation was a comforting thing. Their own party had been shattered by the perfidity of the faux-Republicans of the day, the Progressives, who seemed to be more supportive of FDR than even most of the Democrats of the time, quintessential Southern yellow-dog good ol’ boys, with whom the old-guard Republicans could find no common ground (still fighting the Civil War, or something). But the good ol’ boys were bought off by huge subsidies like the Tennessee Valley Authority, which brought some of the fruits of the Twentieth Century to the forgotten hillbillies of Appalachia.
After all his Administration has been a practitioner of it since 911.
Sharon Invokes Munich in Warning U.S. on 'Appeasement'
Ariel Sharon, the Israeli prime minister, warned the United States tonight that it risked appeasing Arab nations the way European democracies appeased Hitler on the eve of World War II.
It was an unusually harsh and public rebuke of Israel's most valued ally, and it reflected rising frustration within the Israeli government over the Bush administration's approach to battling terrorism. ''Do not try to appease the Arabs at our expense,'' Mr. Sharon said. ''We cannot accept this.''
The Bush-McCain Appeasement Doctrine
If anything, North Korean Communist dictator Kim Jong-Il has simply proven that if you can create a serious enough nuclear weapons scare, than you can extort massive funds and other gifts from the American government. On the same day that Mr. Bush made his politically pointed "appeasement" comments in Israel, his administration was actually giving final agreement to giving the Communist Kim Jong-Il government 500,000 tons of food to distribute just at a time that American citizens are being forced to pay substantially inflated food prices here at home.
Unfortunately this 500,000 tons of food was not even directly linked to any real nuclear weapons production halt treaty. In true 'Neville Chamberlain form,' the Bush Administration merely hopes that the massive food gifts will somehow promote a "climate" more conducive to nuclear peace with North Korea. About all that the Bush Administration could really secure with their negotiations with the very hard line North Korea government was some agreement to keep most of the food from ending up in the hands of the North Korean military, the fourth largest army in the world.
Amidst the uproar over George Bush politicizing the 60th anniversary of Israel's independence, the media has been strangely silent about the revelation that Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, by George Bush and John McCain's own definition, is guilty of "foolish delusion," and lacks "the knowledge, the experience, the background to make the kind of judgments that are necessary to preserve this nation's security."
Just one day before Bush declared that "some," also known as Barack Obama, is an appeaser to terrorists, the likes of which have not been seen since Hitler invaded Poland, and before John McCain chimed in by saying Obama wanted to enhance "the prestige of a nation that's a sponsor of terrorists and is directly responsible for the deaths of brave young Americans,"Sec-Def Robert Gates said:
We need to figure out a way to develop some leverage with respect to the Iranians and then sit down and talk with them. If there's going to be a discussion, then they need something, too. We can't go to a discussion and be completely the demander with them not feeling that they need anything from us.
Tell me again how the Rs are any better then the Ds.
Dear God,
Please make Ann our President.
In those days, where you lived, which church you belonged to, even which side your grandfather fought for 75 years before had more to do with what party you voted for than ideology. Borah was a very liberal Republican who refused to back Hoover in 1932 or Landon in 1936.
Their own party had been shattered by the perfidity of the faux-Republicans of the day, the Progressives, who seemed to be more supportive of FDR than even most of the Democrats of the time, quintessential Southern yellow-dog good ol’ boys, with whom the old-guard Republicans could find no common ground (still fighting the Civil War, or something). But the good ol’ boys were bought off by huge subsidies like the Tennessee Valley Authority, which brought some of the fruits of the Twentieth Century to the forgotten hillbillies of Appalachia.
Issues were different then. Before FDR there had been less to expect or fear from Washington, so Republicans who had come of age before the New Deal weren't as opposed to Washington DC as they'd become later. And preserving segregation was a very real concern for Southern Democrats.
I don't think it's quite fair to say that Northern Republicans and Southern Democrats were still fighting the Civil War. Republicans were so rare in Congress that they couldn't do much of anything at all. After the 1936 elections, they were down to about one-fifth of the House and the Senate. Starting in 1938 or 1939, when the Republicans were beginning to recover there was talk of a de facto "conservative coalition" in Congress with Southern Democrats.

“She needs to cut her hair.”
NO. It’s beautiful.
But in reality, when talking to a lunatic without having first bombed him into submission, the only possible result is appeasement.
