ONE OF THE STUPIDS GETS NAILED

I and many others have made many posts about the ignorance and stupidity of wingnut gasbags (and that's being charitable to them) but Josh Marshall and others have captured one of the all-time great smackdowns of a wingnut stupid by none other than Chris Matthews. The video clip can be found in many places and I include it here for convenience. The half-wit in this case is Kevin James.

Here's the transcript from ThinkProgress:

...right-wing radio host Kevin James attempted to defend President Bush’s comments comparing Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) to Nazi appeasers because he favors talking with our enemies. James compared Obama to Neville Chamberlain, about whom James could only cry: “He’s an appeaser!”

Matthews pressed James at least 19 times over five minutes to simply explain what Chamberlain had done in 1938 and 1939 to make him an “appeaser.” James could only shout his talking point over and over, prompting Matthews to threaten to end the interview:

MATTHEWS: You don’t know what you’re talking about, Kevin. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Tell me what Chamberlain did wrong.

JAMES: Neville Chamberlain was an appeaser, Chris. Neville Chamberlain was an appeaser, all right? […]

MATTHEWS: I’ve been sitting here five minutes asking you to say what the president was referring to in 1938 at Munich.

JAMES: I don’t know.

MATTHEWS: You don’t know, thank you.
