Yelling Doesn’t Make Stuff True!
Matthews destroys Kevin James on Hardball
As Craig Ferguson used to say : Yelling Doesn’t Make Stuff True!
Wikipedia is fast !
On May 15, 2008, James was badly humiliated when he appeared on Hardball alongside Mark Green of Air America Radio to debate host Chris Matthews in support of the remarks made by President of the United States George W. Bush on May 15, 2008 during a speech to the Knesset in Israel. Bush implied that there was a connection between Britain’s pre-World War II Conservative Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement towards Hitler and the policies of leading Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama, in reference to Obama’s expressed willingness to meet with the leaders of certain American adversaries in the Middle East. James was challenged by Matthews to explain exactly what Chamberlain did, which he was unable to do, instead repeating, “It’s the same thing” in a loud, high-pitched voice during five minutes of repeated questioning. Fellow guest Mark J. Green of Air America radio was clearly embarrassed for Kevin James’ glaring lack of knowledge, and urged James to stop digging himself further into “a hole”. Green also explained how Conservative talking heads often know nothing about what they’re saying, but merely repeat buzzwords designed to frighten and mislead Americans. Although claiming to reiterate what Bush said, he eventually admitted ” he did not know” what appeasement meant, nor who Neville Chamberlain was, leading Matthews to state: “if you don’t know what appeasement is about then don’t talk about it.” Matthews dismissed James as “pathetic,” going on to draw a distinction between appeasing one’s adversaries (by giving them something) and simply talking to them. Matthews was clearly disappointed in his guest, and explained the difference between historical appeasers like the conservative Neville Chamberlain (who handed Czechoslovakia to Hitler) and modern leaders like Barack Obama who favor negotiation.
Lots of funny comments : Huffington post, Dailykos
We can hope that Dana Perino and Kevin James never make babies together.
Hey! Where’s Kevin James’ lapel pin?
How can such small minds be given such a large microphone?
you couldn’t make him up
“Watch Pathway to 9/11″ that’s like saying “Watch 24″ to learn about the effectiveness of torture..
I mean, I could not have answered that question either, but at least I have sense enough to not run my mouth about a topic I don’t understand.
But Kevin James said who Neville Chamberlain was. An appeaser. An energizer and a legitimizer.
In short: A bad, bad man.
James knows this because the Decider told him so and history will bear this outWhat was really funny was the guy thought he could out-shout and out-interrupt Chris Matthews????
This guys would have been better off if he said: “I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don’t have maps…”

The voters haven’t embraced Clinton, so I don’t see any reason why I should endorse him. Look at the exit polls. People have terrible doubts about this guy, and we’re talking about Democrats.
