And, of course, John McCain did not repeat the word "appeasement" when asked about Bush's comments as he campaigned in Ohio. Ever the gentlemen, your guy is, right, JJ?

Taranto finally wakes up, and hits the nail on the head:

So what are we to make of the prickly defensiveness of Obama and his fellow Democrats in the face of the president's speech?

The cynical interpretation is that Democrats have concluded Bush is so unpopular that opposing any position he takes will redound to their political benefit. By this logic, if Bush says "God bless America," voters can be expected to rally behind the fellow who says "God damn America."

But it's also possible that Obama & Co. are sincere--that when they hear the president talking about countenancing hatred, appeasing terrorists and breaking ties with Israel, they think: He's talking about us!
