Senator Obama's willingness to engage in talks with our adversaries has elicited accusations of "appeasement" and comparisons to Prime Minister Chamberlain and his accords with Hitler. 

Radio Host Kevin James made the mistake of wandering down this path on "HardBall," only to get smacked down by Chris Matthews when it turns out James knew nothing about Chamberlain, the Munich Agreement, or the meaning of the word appeasement.   James ends up yapping like an intellectual chihuahua, barking out from his living room window at a world he doesn't understand.

 

As Matthews points out, appeasement is "giving away things to the enemy, not talking to the enemy."
