Well, the way Obama reacted, you would think the appeaser was Obama.

excerpt:

Hitler quote

Borah may be best known today for having allegedly said, in September 1939, after Germany invaded Poland, “Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.”[9] The quote has been repeatedly cited as evidence of the alleged naivete of attempts to negotiate with one’s enemies.

[Phlap]

So Bush making reference to appeasers and a dead Republican Senator equates to B. Hussain O.?

[Tax-chick]

Borah was also famous for his affair with Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of Theodore Roosevelt and wife of House Majority Leader Nick Longworth.

I just finished reading the book "The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich". I didn't see any mention of a Senator but the writer William Shirer does mention the German charge' d'affaires, Hans Thomsen sent a report to Hitler. The passage on page 984 states the following:

On June 12, for example, he(Thomsen) cabled Berlin in code "most urgent, "top secret" that a well known Republican Congressman who was working closely with the German Embassy, had offered, for $3,000, to invite fifty isolationist Republican Congressman to the Republican convention so that they may work on the delegates in favor of an isolationist foreign policy. The same individual, Thomsen reported wanted $30,000 to help pay for full page advertisements in the American newspapers, to be headed, "Keep American Out of the War!" I was able furthermore through a confidential agent to induce the isolationist Representative Thorkelson(Republican from Montana) to have the Fuehrer interview inserted in the Congressional record of June 22.

I’m filing this one in my “Is That All You Got?” folder.

No, but US Ambasador to the Court of St. James, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., (Teddy’s daddy and a professional criminal) thought Hitler was just wonderful and tried to get the US to become Germany’s ally.

Wes Pruden, the take no prisoners editor of the Washington Times had a good take on this (and Borah) yesterday.

Well .. it was Chamberlain who signed an agreement with Hitler not to attack Britian - whereupon FDR recalled Chamberlain from Britain (where he was an ambassador).

Senator’s name .. I’ve never heard that story.

And .. since Obama thinks we have 57 STATES - I’m not surprised he didn’t know the history of the Senator.
