1. Are you sure? I didn't get that from the story on Crooks and Liars
Does satire mean lying?

Miscegnation was a serious offense at one time and still is in some quarters. You remember what happened with Harold Ford's run for the Senate. Even in jest...

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/05/15/matthews-rips-right-wing-talkie-kevin-james-because-hes-doesnt-know-neville-chamberlain/
Rough transcript:

Chris: I want to do a little history check on you—what did Neville Chamberlain do wrong in 1939? What did he do wrong?

Kevin: It all goes back to appeasement. It’s the key term.

Chris: No, what did he do, tell me what he did?

Kevin: It’s the key term.

Chris: You have to answer this question. What did he do?

Kevin: It’s the same thing, it puts it all…

Chris: Well tell me what he did?

Kevin: It’s appeasement.

Chris: What did Chamberlain do wrong..

Kevin: His actions, his actions enabled, energized, legitamized

Chris: What did Chamberlain do?

Kevin: It’s the exact same thing.

Chris: No stop, Kevin. I’m not going to continue with this interview unless you answer what that thing is. What did Chamberlain do in ‘39, tell me? 38′?

Kevin: Chris, it’s the exact same thing alright?

Chris: What did he do? <Yelling> What did he do!

Kevin: ‘38,39 Chris what year do you want?

Chris: What did he do?

I want you to answer, what did Chamberlain ?

He’s talking, He’s talking about appeasement.

Chris: What did Chamberlain do, just tell me what he did, Kevin? What did Chamberlain do that you didn’t like?

Kevin: What, what Chamberlain did? <confused> What, what, the President was talking about, you just said the President was talking about Barack. Looks…

Chris: You’re making a reference to the days before our involvement in WWII. When the war in Europe began. I want you to tell me as an expert, what did Chamberlain do wrong.

Kevin: You’re not going to box me in here, Chris. President Bush was making that. I’m glad, I’m glad.

Chris: You don’t know, do you? You don’t know what Nevil Chamberlain did

Kevin: Yea, he was an appeaser, Chris….

Chris: You are BS’ing me… You don’t know what you’re talking about.

I couldn’t transcribe anymore. It hurts. OK, this is too funny. Kevin, just say you don’t know and move on. I think Matthews is a unstable most of the time, but occasionally he’ll get something right.

Neville Chamberlain

Chamberlain’s legacy is marked by his policy regarding the appeasement of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany with his signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938, conceding part of Czechoslovakia to Hitler. In the same year he also gave up the Irish Free State Royal Navy ports. Chamberlain was forced to resign the premiership on 10 May 1940, after Germany invaded the Netherlands, Belgium and France.

2. Ok I went and watched the show
This was a joke.


I guess when Pat Buchanan is around saying these things seriously like this, I can't feel the joke.

4. Yes, Indeed.
Thanks. Just making fun of the guy's utter ignorance -- a point which some folks here seem to have missed.

5. I was starting to question my sanity for a minute! I think it'll be running again tonight on MSNBC
on Chris Matthews show, in a re-run. Unbelievable! They need to show the heck out of this, and call the guy at home, and play it back over the phone to him.

So TIRED of rabid right-wing hate people infesting cable news shows, and butting into progressive message boards, too! They need to stay in their own lane.
