Did the President of the United States of America, in Israel, on the 60th anniversary of their becoming a nation, equate the majority of Americans with Nazi appeasers?
I think he did.
Now, most people think Bush was talking about Barack Obama, but the White House says no, he wasn't. So, if we're to believe them, he might have been referring to anyone who believes we should negotiate with Iran. Like John Kerry, or Defense Secretary Robert Gates, or Secretary of State Condi Rice, or most of the American people, or leaders of other countries. or Ronald Reagan (not legally in his case), or, if he were alive, President John F. Kennedy.
But let us never fear to negotiate.

I'm almost at a loss for words. But Sen. Kerry is not. He's not going to let this disgraceful attack by the President of the United States on the people of the United States go unanswered. And neither should we. Thinking people understand that diplomacy is not appeasement, it's strength. So, either Bush doesn't fall into that category, or he thinks we don't.
Here's Joe Biden's response

Sen. Clinton called Bush's words "offensive and outrageous".
Never to my knowledge has such a disgusting attack been made by the president of a country about the people of the country he's sworn to serve.
So, does John McCain stand up for the American people when we're attacked by George Bush?

No, he embraces Bush's words. Why? Because it's what they do. He's Bush III. There's really no daylight between them. McCain promises more of the same George Bush foreign policy that has made the Middle East and the United States less safe, and although the media continues to tout his foreign relations credentials, they've really got to stop. I don't know where McCain got that reputation, but it's seriously flawed. He's also, as the Washington Post pointed out today, a huge hypocrite.
And through it all, Republican pundits are spinning. Badly.

Bush is really calling people who want us to engage in diplomacy with Iran appeasers? Compare us to Nazis? You'd think he'd steer clear of playing the Nazi card, given grandpappy's connection, but then, he apparently has no shame.
I'm with Biden on this. I call bullshit.
