- "My good friends, for the second time in our history a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time." Neville Chamberlain

And thus, US foreign policy has been Godwinized.

fatuous, not familiar

Boy, conservatives love to play the Neville Chamberlain card a lot.

Here's Chris Matthews smacking down a know-nothing right-wing pundit last year on this very topic-

I feel bad for Mark Green in this video.

[miss-world13.livejournal.com]

YES!! I was just going to bring this up!

it's funny because the President wants an investigation of what Iran is up to, and seems pretty aware that there are nukes.

Do you have to make squashing you so easy?

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

You're a bit late.

[squidb0i.livejournal.com]

D'oh!

[johnny9fingers.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.

The comparisons are a bit, um.....stretched. Especially as the US will no doubt be fighting a lone battle against the forces of evil until perhaps the Orkney Islands are bombed by Iran's Axis-of-Evil allies' secret seaborne attack force.

Banzai!
(Or do I mean Bonsai?)

it's funny because Obama has offered to give Texas to Iran in return for Iran not nuking Israel.

[madscience.livejournal.com]

Why don't we just give Texas to Israel and nuke Jerusalem ourselves?

[natgel.livejournal.com]

Wow, fuck you.

[malasadas.livejournal.com]

I was unaware that "hauntingly familiar" actually meant "markedly different".

[ice-hesitant.livejournal.com]

It's funny because Stalin's USSR went on to win WW2 and crush Hitler's Third Reich.

[lizziec]

Where did Stalin's USSR come in to the cartoon really boring drawing?

[ice-hesitant.livejournal.com]

The guy with the broad mustache looks pretty Staliny, but I suppose Chamberlain had a mustache too.

[lizziec]

Yeah, I think it's just the way Chamberlain looked :S

[merig00.livejournal.com]

Stalin's USSR won the Great Patriotic War, not WW2 ;)

So you take some pretty terrible troll bait (http://community.livejournal.com/lolobama/251195.html) and bring it over here?

[merig00.livejournal.com]

and enjoying every moment of it :D

btw he's not a troll - he actually believes what he says =))

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

Are you sure? It's all a little too obvious.

[merig00.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'm sure... I know the guy from other comms and he's on my f-list (he has really good posts about Europe and Germany in particular)

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

Oy...

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Godwin Law for the fear mongering lose.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Godwin's Law does not mean the bringer-upper of the Nazis automatically loses the argument, just that one party will eventually be compared to the Nazis.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Ahh, forgive my incorrect usage. I'll rephrase. The comparison is ridiculous.

it's funny because israel became even less likely to attack iran this week.

[anfalicious.livejournal.com]

Actually, appeasement is more closely analoguous to the world standing by whilst Iraq was invaded. In fact, the Iranian issue is in no way analoguous to appeasement. People need to read more.

No no no, Obama is Hitler. I've seen enough teabag signs to know that.
