I'm calling a spade a spade, not an "earth moving handheld implement". Your tiresome, tedious nonsense has been repeated and refuted before - I'm making you aware of the fact that you shouldn't waste our time with it. Now go polish your boots before going to the next Stormfront rally, which I hope the FBI will be attending and taking down all your names.
Those who would know, Sailors aboard the Liberty (e.g. Not You), insist that it’s very unlikely that the IAF pilots didn’t know the Liberty was a US Ship.
Yawn. Friendly fire incidents happen all the time. This one incident is being blown out of proportion because it suits the agenda of anti-Semites. I repeat - this rubbish has been repeated by your Kameraden here before. IAF Thunderpilot produced a nice long refuation to it, which I see you can't address - one of the hallmarks of a totalitarian moron is their inability to absorb facts which don't adhere to their worldview, and you are Exhibit A.
If conspiring to steal US secrets is not a textbook definition of disloyalty, please offer me your definition.
I see, change the argument since you're losing. Allied nations do spy on each other from time to time - I recall one incident in which I thank God for it: the FBI told the British government that Edward VIII's future bride, Wallis Simpson, was actually Von Ribbentrop's lover. Should the FBI have been spying on an ally? In this instance, absolutely!
In any event, you're not deviating from the anti-Semite playbook by one iota. I'm sure the mods will notice presently and fry your sorry arse. Enjoy.

I was just about to tell that carpetbagger a similar thing, but I see that you managed to do that before me :)
Again, calling me names in not an argument. I’ve been on FR for several year and all of my post are fully searchable. Though my memory may be in error, I’m fairly sure I can be accused of little else but a fondness of the Red Sox, motorcycles, sports cars, cats and an deep, abiding hatred of the NY Yankees.
I don’t think any of those would qualify me as a racist. But you seem to take a more expansive definition than I.
The board of inquiry had an incentive to smooth things over and it’s perfectly understandable. Sailors aboard the ship tell a different story. Are they lying? Maybe; but I find their stories credible and they seem to lack ulterior motives.
Allies do spy on each other; it’s an unfortunate fact of relation between counties. All counties act in their own best interest, but stealing intelligence is hardly an act of fidelity.
I view US / French relations with a jaundiced eye because of their past behavior. Does this make me a Franco-phobe?
