This is unbelievable:
Rumsfeld: War critics are like Nazi appeasers
Why is it that liberals must always engage in strawmen or lies when issues are discussed?
And by always, I mean, every, single, time.
Rumsfeld’s speech, in which he never calls war critics appeasers, is here.
Anyway, a good take down on this sort of nonsense at QandO.
[EDIT: Our commenters like the headline!
Let me add that I was at the gym this morning and the “Today” program had a segment with Lauer & Russert – “Bush Attacks War Critics.” I have no idea what was said, but judging by Russert’s facial expression, they were likely “troubled” that the President would point out the intellectual bankruptcy of the party of defeat.
Let me also add that my point here is that I think the headline is far out of line with what Rumsfeld said – and my reading is: appeasement will only lead to paying a bigger price later, using Hitler as an example. The phrase “Nazi appeasers” carries some heavy weight I think inappropriate, but others disagree. I do think that the Democratic whining and media moral scolding indicates the message is likely effective and going to cause the Democrats to lose another election.]
