This is why Talk Radio makes people stupid



On Hardball a few weeks ago, a right-wing talk radio host was on to talk about Barrack Obama's foreign policy, and how it somehow "appeases" our enemies. What ensued was a truly sad five minutes. This guy had no idea what the hell he was talking about, and the incident was sadly emblematic of what much political talk radio is all about. This guy embarks on a massive tirade, trying to tie Obama's behavior to Neville Chamberlain's behavior in the late 1930s. Unfortunately, this right-wing hack didn't even know who Chamberlain was or what exactly he did.

This is the reason I can't listen to talk-radio, it is usually embarrassing.

Boy are you and Jake on the same page. I hear that all day long. Jake is so desperate to get me and grandpa to stop watching and listening to news "stuff" he is willing to read the "Book of Mormon" if we agree to not watch or listen anymore.

Kevin James is a dope, but he never mentioned Neville Chamberlain. He mentioned appeasement. While Chamberlain's actions remain a classic example of it, James never mentioned it.
