When you start talking about Japan’s support for Germany and then apply those standards to the U.S.’s involvement “hardly a neutral observer” in wars around the world we (both of us) have opened up a much broader subject.

The U.S.’s response to Pearl Harbor (direct attack on the U.S. by Japan) was disproportionate and brutal.

We are not talking about “all genocides”;
don’t hide in a broader subject here.

I asked you specifically about the Holocaut. We are talking WWII here.

What did the Japanese have to do with the Holocaust?

Are you kidding ? Japan was a Germany ally and hardly a neutral observer.

All genocides are relevant to me.

The Clinton camp? Get real Kathleen: this is all Obama’s doing and Obama’s problem: Jeremiah Wright is his problem. This about Obama’s choice. His and only his.

Kathleen, Hiroshima and Nagasaki IS A COMPLEX issue. It is not as simple as you put it. And you are forgetting the Holocaust : 6 million Jewish people in addition to gypsies and many many others.

But maybe this is irrelevant for you?

HIroshima and Nagasaki were disproportionate responses to Pearl Harbor. The whole world witnessed how ruthless the U.S. can be.

God damn America for killing innocent people”. The timing of Reverend Wright’s words, the place he chose to let loose (in church) highly questionable.

Americans do not want to face or even consider that parts of Reverends Wrights words are spot on. U.S foreign policy, intervention and the support of repressive governments has directly effected and been responsible for millions of deaths, the overthrow of democratically elected governments (Iran). Most Americans do not want to face this or even consider this thought let alone accept any responsibility for our crimes.

Should Reverend Wright take it up a notch (more death and destruction does not resolve these issues).

Stat
Yes it was quite a time then that is for certain. I think we were a little less jaded. We didn’t have as much information flooding in on a minute-by-minute basis as we do now. We didn’t have vast numbers of ADHD as we do today speaking of which!

Thank you. I was getting really bored of posting that. And I encourage people like Art to call Air America and Jones Radio Network and MSNBC and call out their hosts for the non-stop Hillary bashing.

Of course, that’s “different.”

Liberal Activists are good at one thing: clucking their tongues in little groups about how morally superior and politically pure they are compared to everyone else. These are the kind of people who will volunteer for any charity walk that involves getting a t-shirt so they can wear the t-shirt everywhere and show people how enlightened they are. They are the kind of people who are ALMOST always doing things- almost getting arrested defending a guy being harrassed by the cops, almost going to that protest downtown but gosh it was cold that day, almost writing a letter to the editor of the local paper, almost donating to the local food bank. They are the kind of people who proudly vote Green and are even more proud that their candidates have never, ever won an election. Because Winning is a sign of Compromise and is therefore Bad.

I suspect that Liberal Activists spend a good deal of their time nowadays looking askance at a lot of Obama supporters, seeing them as bandwagon-jumpers who, unlike the Liberal Activists, weren’t for Barack Before Iowa. I expect to see For Barack Before Iowa t-shirts being worn around my neighborhood ( I live in a very, very pretentious suburb of DC ) in the near future.

I frankly couldn’t care less who the self-described Liberal Activists support. Who have these people ever got elected? Didn’t they support Bill Bradley and Howard Dean?

Yeah, imagine if the pastor could simply change the world by converting the choir over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
