People think our president is bad, Shintaro Ishihara the governer of Tokyo since 1999 is an insane, xenophopic, and a racist.

Some highlights...
"When he was in the seventh grade, he was living in Zushi, on the coast in the flight path of enemy aircraft heading out to sea. Ishihara described Nathan: “The Americans could see that we were kids, but they would strafe us anyway, for fun. One day I had to throw myself into a barley field. As I lay there, the Grummans and P-51s came roaring over me, flying low, and I could see that they had pictures of naked women and Mickey Mouse painted on the fuselage. I couldn't believe my eyes! I was scared to death, and angry but I was also thinking what a place America must be, what a culture, and how different from Japan. Then I heard other planes but no machine guns this time; they were Zeros in pursuit, and their insignia was the Japanese flag. I felt like reaching up to embrace that rising sun."
Yeah man, America was so brutal and imperialist Japan was so great... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_war_crimes
"More than once he suggested that the Rape of Nanking in December 1937, was a fabrication of the Chinese."
Thats on par with saying the holocaust never happened, they murdered and raped 300,000+ chinese civilians! This is why many Chinese people still hate Japan to this day because nut cases like this guy are elected leaders...
