Oh my god! Are you guys watching hardball?
Some D list wingnut radio host was yelling about Obama being an appeaser, and Matthews, credit where credit is due, destroyed him. Matthews called him out and demanded that he explain what Chamberlin did to make him an appeaser, and the wingnut couldn't say anything except "He was an appeaser!"
Eventually he gave up and admitted he didn't know what he was talking about. Most satisfying pundit exchange that I've seen in a long time!
I'll get video when it replays at 7pm, but I just had to give Tweety props. He was clearly sick of this dumbass, and tore him a new one!
Does anyone have video or transcript anywhere? I'll put it up at 730 if no one can find it.
[Update]Here's the Video:
Update [2008-5-15 17:33:10 by IntertubeGuy]: For those curious, the Wingnut inquestion was Kevin James. Some intrepid Wiki-warriors have already added the following to his biography:
Kevin James appeared on the Chris Matthews Hardball show on MSNBC on May 15, 2008. He made a historical reference which he had no idea about. When Matthews questioned him, he just blanked and started rambling. The episode showed Mr. James's ignorance.
...
James is an outspoken fan of the Oklahoma Sooners college football team. James also drew attention for an idiotic performance May 15, 2008 on "Hardball" with Chris Matthews, in which the host was forced to explain what "Appeasement" means, as opposed to "Diplomacy."
Update [2008-5-15 17:37:51 by IntertubeGuy]: For anyone interested in talking with James about his extensive knowledge of history and politics, his show is on tonight from 9-11pm est, and can be reached at (866)870-KRLA.
