Bush Appeasement Speech and Obama Branding - **Episode:** [31: Truth to Power Ratio](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/31-truth-to-power-ratio.md) - **Published:** 2008-05-17 - **Time:** 19:23–28:05 - **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/31-truth-to-power-ratio/chapter/george-w-bush-appeasement-speech-and-obama-branding.md John C. Dvorak analyzes President George W. Bush's speech to the Israeli Knesset regarding the appeasement of Hitler, which Barack Obama interpreted as a personal attack. Dvorak argues this is a Republican strategic "meme hacking" effort to tag Obama with the "appeaser" moniker, similar to how John Kerry was labeled a "flip-flopper." The discussion touches on the historical significance of Neville Chamberlain and the potential effectiveness of this branding in the 2008 election.
