Oh shit. We go . Japan is victim again. Even though they started this. Please.

You forgot to mention FDR instigated the war and if he were not such a corrupt fool, could have avoided the war.

I feel the same way about any Japanese person who was alive during pearl harbor. They were jap scumbags. They didn't just defend their leader they worshipped him. Suicide bombers like Isis.

I also feel the same way about anti gay people who think it's OK to be that way.

Every president before Lincoln freed the slaves too.

So why didn't you stay in Japan? Who you gooks come here?

You are one sick puppy.

The idiot doesn't seem to realize how pointlessly misguided his attempts at being a racist are.

I'm just saying what a lot of people are thinking.

The only thing people are thinking is why you are trying so hard to make a fool of yourself.


At least stick to the topic and limit the damage.

The 6 most evil presidents in US history who aren't George W. Bush

Harry Truman: Japan was willing to surrender to the United States in July of 1945 with one condition, that the Japanese Emperor Hirohito not be tried as a war criminal. The truth was that Japan was virtually helpless by this time, its military in a shambles, its cities bombed, and its people starving. Truman ignored the offer, and in August ordered the bombs dropped.

Also on the list was that scumbag Ronald Reagan.

4. Ronald Reagan

Hey look, FDR made honorable mention:

George W. Bush: For invading Iraq under false pretenses (“Weapons of Mass Destruction”), resulting in the deaths of thousands of U.S. soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens.

Franklin Roosevelt: For the imprisonment of over 100,000 Japanese American citizens for the crime of looking Asian.

No one likes that bush and Reagan are on the scumbag list?

The rich called fdr a traitor to his class. Of course they slandered him just like they do Obama and did Clinton and Carter.

And we know what they did to Kennedy.

What if you found out it was under Reagan this started and they did it because Americans ask for too much?

Because I remember years ago Republicans defended illegals. You guys said they were doing jobs Americans won't do.

So its funny to see the flip flop.

I can show you articles from during the bush presidency where us liberals explained how your party is split on this. The racists vs. The illegal employers who love the cheap labor.

Glad to see you're coming around. Bout time.

Interesting how attempts are made to show that FDR didn't go far enough to defend Pearl Harbor from Japanese attack and yet castigate him or going too far to defend the West Coast from sabotage.

FDR was the president of the people of course the right who's afraid Obama or Bernie Sanders or hillary will pass some new deal type policies, of course they're going to want to re write history and pretend FDR wasn't loved by the masses.

....

And we know what they did to Kennedy.

What who did?

 

[Unkotare]

... his response is simply that the scumbag FDR signed the EO. .....

Whose name is on it, apologist?

 

[Unkotare]

... it wasn't a scumbag decision based on racism....

It absolutely WAS a scumbag decision based on racism made by a racist fucking scumbag who was the most vile, anti-American POS to ever sully the White House.

 

[Unkotare]

And a liar lies two more times. Such a surprise.

Bush lied about Saddam and al Qaeda

I told you to go be wrong in the appropriate place if you can't let it go.

You brought up the subject and I responded.....

No, someone else brought it up and you keep trying to be wrong again in the wrong place.

Do you work for the DNC?

When will you partisans realize it is all a big game designed to divide and conquer? There is very little difference between the two major parties...they both do the bidding of the oligarchy.

History most certainly repeats itself because the public refuses to learn from the past.

The reason the Japanese were put in internment camps is because the Japanese attacked the USA. Nothing to do with race, everything to do with war. The racial aspect was made up by Reagan to attack FDR. The racist in the equation is Reagan. And the OP for continuing the lie.

You're half right.

There's a huge difference between parties.

... Nothing to do with race, everything to do with war....

That is, of course, absurd.

"Over 127,000 United States citizens were imprisoned during World War II. Their crime? Being of Japanese ancestry."



"Despite the lack of any concrete evidence..., Japanese Americans were suspected of remaining loyal to their ancestral land. ANTI-JAPANESE PARANOIA increased because of a large Japanese presence on the West Coast. ... President Roosevelt signed an executive order in February 1942 ordering the RELOCATION of all Americans of Japanese ancestry to CONCENTRATION CAMPS in the interior of the United States.


...Until the camps were completed, many of the evacuees were held in temporary centers, such as stables at local racetracks. Almost two-thirds of the interns wereNISEI, or Japanese Americans born in the United States. It made no difference that many had never even been to Japan. Even Japanese-American veterans of World War I were forced to leave their homes...

... the interns knew that if they tried to flee, armed sentries who stood watch around the clock, would shoot them.

... While the American concentration camps never reached the levels of Nazi death camps as far as atrocities are concerned, they remain a dark mark on the nation's record of respecting civil liberties and cultural differences."

The racial aspect was made up by Reagan to attack FDR. ....

"As president, Reagan often mentioned his admiration for FDR’s spirit of leadership"

"Twice he spoke at events honoring Roosevelt."


First Principles - Ronald Reagan on Franklin Roosevelt: The Significance of Style

The reason the Japanese were put in internment camps is because the Japanese attacked the USA. Nothing to do with race....

"These Japanese Americans, half of whom were children, were incarcerated for up to 4 years, without due process of law or any factual basis, in bleak, remote camps surrounded by barbed wire and armed guards."

"Some Japanese Americans died in the camps due to inadequate medical care and the emotional stresses they encountered. Several were killed by military guards posted for allegedly resisting orders."

"At the time, Executive Order 9066 was justified as a "military necessity" to protect against domestic espionage and sabotage. However, it was later documented that "our government had in its possession proof that not one Japanese American, citizen or not, had engaged in espionage, not one had committed any act of sabotage." (Michi Weglyn, 1976).

Rather, the causes for this unprecedented action in American history, according to the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians, "were motivated largely by racial prejudice, wartime hysteria, and a failure of political leadership.""
