Who cares if Bush called Obama an appeaser?
Why are the mainstream media so focused on whether George Bush was referring to Barack Obama when he made his “appeasement” remarks in the Knesset? Isn’t the real story that he just went to a foreign country and slandered many millions of patriotic Americans by calling them appeasers?
Personifying the comment could be just more of the lazy, horse-race reporting we’ve seen through the campaign. It could be that once again the media is picking up the GOP’s playbook, pinning a label on a Democrat.
And it’s true that Obama created some of the distraction himself by assuming it was a slap at him. That still doesn’t excuse the pundits for not exploring the deeper slander.
