Wesley Clark calls for the return of concentration camps like Manzanar

[solarbird]

Yes, that's exactly what he's doing. Here's the video. He's specifically invoking the World War II internment camps as a positive thing that should be done again. He uses it to talk about Nazis, but the overwhelming number of people in those camps were ANYONE JAPANESE.

He wants camps like, say, Manzanar. You've heard George Takei talk about Manzanar

Good grief. I drove past Manzanar on the trip to San Diego. I drove past Tulelake (another camp) on the way back from Oregon. I think anyone calling for the return of such camps should spend a bunch of time in such camps themselves, similar to how Abraham Lincoln suggested that the people who are most in favor of slavery should themselves be enslaved to see how much they like it.

I had to block one jackass on Faceboook already over this. I'm just kinda wow about that. (Not somebody I knew. Somebody who came dragging in from someone else's friendslist.)

The extra level of obnoxious about all that was that being a Nazi sympathizer did NOT get you locked up during the war.
