I just watched this clip from Hardball. Its gratifying when a journalist, in this case Chris Mathews, makes it clear that his know-it=not smart a** guest, in this case a GOP oriented radio talk show host, doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about.
By the way, here’s what Winston Churchill said about “appeasement.”
“The word ‘appeasement’ is not popular, but appeasement has its place in all policy,” he said in 1950. “Make sure you put it in the right place. Appease the weak, defy the strong.” He argued that “appeasement from strength is magnanimous and noble and might be the surest and perhaps the only path to world peace.” And he remarked on the painful irony: “When nations or individuals get strong they are often truculent and bullying, but when they are weak they become better-mannered. But this is the reverse of what is healthy and wise.”
I got this from the Daily Dish which got it from someone else on the blogosphere.
