Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI seriously love shooting down discussions on FreeRepublic.
I have an account there, and I put out inconvenient facts that bring down discussions and pretty much end them.
Tonight, some funny ( ) person put out a satire post about Japanese people fearing a backlash after Pearl Harbor, trying to tie Charlie Hebdo to all Muslims. People were posting back and forth for a while with things like
"Dont Blame Japanese for Pearl HarborIt was japanese airplanes that bombed our ships! You cant blame the whole Island full of people. FDR must send a peace committee to work out new terms and foreign aid to the Japanese Empire."
and
"America has been calling Japanese products cheap and inferior for years . . . Pearl Harbor was just a natural response to such blatant disrespect."
Is it hilarious? Is it racist? Hilaracist?
My reply to the thread was: "Well, considering between 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese descent were interned in the U.S., maybe some fear of backlash was warranted."

(50,130 posts).....to be a 10-year troll over there. The only way a Democrat could do that would be to NOT tell them the truth about anything, but just to assimilate. Kind of weird.
