Kevin James went on “Hardball” yesterday to expound on George Bush’s assertion that Barack Obama is the new Neville Chamberlain. One tiny problem: Kevin James had no idea who Neville Chamberlain was or what he did that was so worthy of contempt:
Who is Kevin James?
Kevin James began his professional career in 1988 as a lawyer with one of Los Angeles’s largest law firms. Soon thereafter, Kevin spent more than 3 years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in LA, and then more than 10 years as a litigator in high profile entertainment matters.
Kevin’s legal experience is what initially brought him into the talk radio industry, regularly providing his legal expertise to talk radio stations in major markets around the country. In early 2004, Kevin decided to leave the legal profession to begin his full-time career as a radio talk show host at KTOK in Oklahoma City, where Kevin’s legal experience and his interest in news and the topics of the day resulted in tremendous success in the morning drive slot at KTOK.
Kevin’s rating success in Oklahoma City enabled his return to Los Angeles in early 2005 to host KABC’s “Red Eye Radio” — once again achieving great ratings success. Kevin hosted “Red Eye Radio” until April 2007.
Kevin has also served as a regular panelist for Court TV’s “Catherine Crier Live” and appeared on CNN as a commentator and legal analyst.
Kevin received his undergraduate degree from the University of Oklahoma and attended law school at the University of Houston.
Kevin brings a passionate and practical voice to the countless issues that affect the Southern California community, and also has the experience to provide an insider’s perspective into Hollywood’s never-ending wave of high profile conflicts and disputes that frequently relate to larger issues affecting the nation.
2. Who is Neville Chamberlain?
Arthur Neville Chamberlain (18 March 1869 – 9 November 1940) was a British Conservative politician and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1937 to 1940.
Chamberlain’s legacy is marked by his policy regarding the appeasement of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany with his signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938, conceding part of Czechoslovakia to Hitler. In the same year he also gave up the Irish Free State Royal Navy ports.
The right is attempting to equate holding talks with our adversaries with appeasement. In fact, talking with Hitler was not necessarily a bad thing, and it certainly was not appeasement. Chamberlain appeased Hitler by giving up half of Czechoslovakia.

I believe you meant to say “talking with Hitler was NOT necessarily a bad thing.”
It is difficult to believe that this clueless idiot was able to endure the rigors of law school, much less, law practice — both of which require the occasional application of critical thought and impartial analysis.
Any boob, knowing he was about to appear on national television to discuss, agree with and endorse the President’s comparison of “some [unnamed but obvious] people” to Neville Chamberlain, could have invested 5 minutes on Google to find out who the hell Neville Chamberlain was.
Had he done so, however, he would have immediately realized that Bush’s comparison was inapt and inept.
But these empty vessels aren’t paid to think, reason or even develop a passing acquaintance with facts.
I’m sure James peeled Rush’s talking points off his fax shortly before appearing on Chris Matthews. Unfortunately for him, he was being interviewed by knowledgeable, educated people who were not about to engage in a screaming match with James, nor were they about to allow him to get away with his unmitigated, ignorant bullshit.
Pinheads like Kevin James live in their own little universe, solely in the company of other similarly ignorant pinheads. They have fictionalized their own version of history; their arguments are comprising hollow rhetoric that merely characterizes, without understanding of the actual underlying facts (i.e., James: “He appeased! He was an appeaser!” merely describes Chamberlain’s conduct without describing what that “appeasing” conduct was); and when confronted with the facts and rational rebuttal, their response is to increase the volume and repeat their talking points endlessly.
Perhaps it is good that ignorant douchebags like Kevin James get national, even international exposure. The more people see these vacuous sound bytes dismantled, the less influence these “blank slates” will have on their listeners, whose passions are easily aroused (manipulated) by the hollow, inflammatory rhetoric of these scream show hosts. Listeners might actually begin to question what these morons mean when they throw out silly slogans like “America haters,” (i.e,. what exactly is meant by “America” as used in that slogan)
Gee…. wouldn’t it be great if critical thinking… hell, thinking of any kind…came to Amurrika?
Well hell, everyone knows that if you’re having trouble with a spouse, family member, neighbor or co-worker, the first thing to do is to NOT talk to that person to try and figure out what is causing the problem(s).
Instead, you glare at them, make threatening sounds, occassionaly, throw something at them, now and then, physically assault them a bit, but you NEVER, NEVER, talk to the one you’re having problems with.
If, after awhile, the threats and violent non-verbal communication doesn’t bring them around, then you go ballistic on them, physically assualting them, but NEVER, NEVER talk to them, unless its to call them names and insult them, but NEVER, NEVER have a back and forth conversation.
You need to first put them in their place, even if that means they die in the process.
If they do, well hell, that’s their fault.
