Coulter likens WhiteHouse Spying to WWII Japanese Interment-- Both Good!

[elehhhhna]

"The Supreme Court upheld the president's authority to intern the Japanese during wartime;

That case, Korematsu v. United States, is still good law"

More ridiculous delusional inanity here:

Please note her freeptastic misuse of the word "interNment", lol

1. The Supreme Court never overturned that decision, but Congress

voted to pay reparations. The Congressional gesture is a sign that the internment decision is bad law.

2. Oh!

Is Ann the Man sleeping with Michelle Malkin now?

3. It's labelled a "World Net Daily Exclusive."

Too disgusting for the newspapers?

[davidinalameda]

4. Someone else posted some similiar crap on another board I'm on

to quote Ms Granger--what an idiot

[Realityhack]

20. Sweet Refrence.

Granger would destroy coulter... probobly trap her in a shater proof jar ;-)

5. Ironically, the West Wing episode that mention Korematsu is on now

A clerk mentions that the case is "just waiting for some trigger-happy martial-law loving solicitor general" to come into power.

How prescient that show can be...

BTW, you can read the Korematsu decision here:

I don't believe the Supreme Court would uphold a similar racial law.

History doesn't repeat itself exactly.

I'm more concerned about the widening definition of who is a "terorist."

17. Karematsu has never been overturned

The right of the government to declare certain areas to be "military areas" where there can be curfews or detainment is still the law of the land. If Shrub were to declare the entire country a "military area" and start detaining people who are "threats" to the country there might not even be a case before SCOTUS because no one would be able to argue it - anyone who would make such an argument would of course be considered a "threat" and therefore detained. Were it to come before the Court, I would expect Roberts, Thomas, Scalia, Alito and whomever has been named to replace Stephens (who would certainly be gone by the time this case made it to the Court) to vote to uphold Karematsu.

6. Weren't they a few days late in dispatching Coulter? n/t

[MsKandice01]

7. Gotta love this line...

" I have difficulty ginning up much interest in this story inasmuch as I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East and sending liberals to Guantanamo. "

The Freepers seem to agree wholeheartedly.

13. I'm not sure what she's doing in that sentence.

Being more honest than usual? Self-parody?

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

14. what goes around comes around

I have a feeling if she were on the receiving end of those atrocities, she'd be yelling bloody murder.

[mr blur]

8. What a hateful, hate-filled, ignorant, stupid person

We have right wing idiots over here too, but I can't think of one who is taken seriously by so many people.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Coulter looks like she's been kept in a camp with no food or water.

Too bad she's on the loose.

[triguy46]

10. First you get a wooden stake, sharpened on one end verrry sharp... n/t

[ddeclue]

11. Ann..put down the crack pipe...

What's she smokin?

12. I expect a racist statement like that from Coulter

wonder if she would have the courage to state that in front of Dan Inoye, the Hawaiian senator who fought in WWII even as his people were interned.

[calico1]

15. I think she is just so bitter that she was born

too late. She could have been Hitler's mistress! (though actually Eva was probably much nicer a person).

[Lusted4]

16. She can be the first name on the new spy list

when the dems take over in 06 and 08

[mainer]

18. Do you all think she's actually for real?

I question whether she believes the stuff she's saying. After all, didn't she used to date Bill Maher?

[KharmaTrain]

19. Get A Declaration Of War

And Lincoln waived the rights to habeus corpus during the civil war. The thing those two thing that have in common that the Coultergeist's example doesn't? Both happened under DECLARATIONS of WAR. You know that routine, don't you? That's where the Congress votes to give the President that type of authority and it's a REAL war...not a bogus one or one for profit.

If junior wants to wiretap, torture and destroy liberties, get a war declaration from your Repugnican congress...while you can.

[proud patriot]

21. My question to Coulter is

if Japanese internment camps were a good thing
then why did U.S. taxpayers pay reparations
for it ?

22. last year, a Freeper-type told me he was glad my parents were interned

After he finished listing the types of damage they could have inflicted on the war effort -- spying, sabotage, assassinations -- I glared at him and said, "they weren't even old enough to drive!". Goes without saying that he had never met my Mom and Dad.

By the way, my folks eventually did finish their education after the war (Mom actually went to nursing school in Portland, so a shout-out to all you Oregon DUers!). Mom was a public health nurse, and Dad taught Grade 8.
