Yeah - uh huh....like I said Fox News spent an equal amount of time and money on covering Obama and McCain...fair and balanced. The other News organizations did not. So I win, you lose...

Says who? lol
Was you thinking of little ol me?
Here is where your strawman begins strawman.
Why do you think I only watch FOX news?
Wrong again! Either I am not a neo-con, or you are wrong. Fox is biased, but pails by comparison to pmsnbc.
I can see your point, but you are wrong about the Heritage Foundation. While biased, numbers don't lie.
I don't know how you can say that with a straight face. I believe you are as much of an Agnostic as I am a Liberal. :sorry1:

Never heard of that word. Ever.
So the actions of the Japanese call for such action against Japanese-American Citizens? Is that what you're saying?
Privacy is a right, last I checked. That's like saying you can't sue for a wrongful arrest.

Oh yeah?
I am rubber, you are glue.
Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.
PS - I'd be willing to elevate the conversation to at least middle school level, if you think you can keep up.

Clearly rights only go so far as public safety and the Founding Fathers would never have condoned a destruction of the republic to absolutely save certain rights. To deny people a right to privacy to ensure they are not terrorists is fine, the US has gone a lot further than that in previous wars to ensure public safety. Without public safety you cannot have any rights at all; so it's a moot point.
And I know; Japanee is the legitimate "derogatory" word; it and Japs is the difference between 'nig.....ger' and 'nigga'. Or rather; the difference between African-American and "Afro-Amer."
Japs is a short form of Japanese, and not derogatory at least in the majority of the country; maybe on the very very west coast some Japanese found it "derogatory" but no more than calling a German a Kraut. They'd just shrug or laugh with it.

Just did a google search. No such thing as "Japanee" except a Japanese restaurant somewhere in Bloomington, Indiana.
Seems people disagree with you. Shocker.

I can confirm Japanee does exist as a term and is long buried; literally, I first came across it when I found a grave stone from the late 1800s listing the buried as a "Japanee", but sure enough my 93 year old Grandmother confirmed the term is what they used to call Japs. The term Japs however is hardly derogatory unless you're a smug prick (watch South Park).

What a shame.
What's this world coming to, when you can't use racial slurs and simply pass them off as acceptable in a different era?
The bigots don't seem to be able to stay around long enough to actually finish a debate.
Pity.

You enjoy debating with bigots?

I agree, but there are some sources that at least make an effort to present both sides of an argument.

When I looked up Heritage Foundation on Google, it had this text blurb:
Hardly an unbiased source.

Not really, but I do enjoy "tweaking their nose", when they get on a roll.
I find that most of them can't stop frothing at the mouth long enough to actually reflect on their own position.
Come to think of it, when was the last time you saw a good bigot say something like "now that I think about it, I was out of line to say that ..."?

You couple that with the fact that they distort the heck out of research data, and twist it unmercifully to make it fit their agenda, and the next thing you know, it takes a true sycophant to defend their work.
VOR, if you get around to it, you can comment on post #23 if you get bored.

A fine point, linwood. I'm not a moderator, but it's hard to say if they got him for such blatant disregard for the truth, the racial slurs, or the personal attacks on everyone that doesn't wear a flag lapel pin.
Either way, the good die young.
