I went ballistic and already emailed Kasich telling him he runs a lousy excuse for the Factor and that Hackett is a know-nothing. Senor was *unbelievably* composed, I would have blown a gasket at Hackett's pompous a**. The guy thinks because he had a look at the war up close and personal, and most of the rest of us haven't, we have no right to have an opinion.

I didn't watch tonight as I cannot stand it when Kasich is hosting. He is simply the worst guest-host, Gibson is better.

I agree. What I can't stand most about Kasich is that in his attempts to appear "fair and balanced" he insinuates a moral equivalance that isn't even comparable. The idea that he would chastize Republicans for finally fighting back--and pointing out the danger of appeasement, while likening it to the vitriol we've heard from Democrats over the years, is a joke. The debate and rhetoric from Hackett tonight more than made that evident.

I, too, emailed Kasich. He made me so mad. When discussing Rumsfeld's comments re appeasers, he looked incredulous saying to Senor...who's Rumsfeld talking about...appeasers???

I sent Kasich several articles from FR re Kerry, Murtha, Carter, Annan and Wash Post re pulling out of Iraq or 'talking' to Iran or North Korea. Appeasers.
