Bush Plays the Chamberlain card…for the 19,380,692,370,893,291,674th time!
In a speech to Israel’s Knesset, 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.”
Obama responded with a statement, seizing on Bush’s remarks even as it was unclear to whom the president was referring. [Unclear to whom the president was referring?! Unclear, you dissembling dolt?! How in the world was it not clear to you? Obama is the only one in this campaign who has consistently said that he would directly negotiate with regimes we don’t like. How could it have possibly been any clearer to whom The Most Holy George W. Christ was referring?! THINK, for Zombie Jesus’ sake!! Or are you simply being deliberately dense in order to smear the presumptive Democratic nominee? — Ed.]
“It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel’s independence to launch a false political attack,” Obama said in the statement his aides distributed. “George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the president’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.”
I think Keith Olbermann put it best in his special comment last night.
Mr. President, SHUT THE FUCK UP!
