Your credibility if you ever had any is shot.

Don't bother responding back because you are an ignorant wretch and you wouldn't admit you were wrong if the facts were laid bare for you.

#1 rule of the Buchanan pitchfork playbook, when confronted with facts, throw ad hominems.

BTW, normy can you tell me why all 125,000 of the Japanese-Amricans living at the time in WWII Americaz were put into internment camps, and the 10,000,000 or so German and Italian Americans were not.

I don't know how many Germans were interned or otherwise closedly monitored in America during WWII, but I've known a lot that were.

German and Italian Americans are white, and were thus indistinguishable from other white Americans, at a time when whites were almost 90% of the U.S. population. The ones who were detained were mostly those foreign born Germans and Italians who had publicly expressed sympathy for Hitler or Mussolini. At a time when there were few East Asians in America, Japanese were an ethnically distinct population. A higher proportion of Japanese were loyal to their mother country when compared with the German and Italian populations. Additionally, in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, there was a lot of anti-Japanese sentiment, since they, and not the Germans or Italians, had attacked American soil in a sneak attack. Had the Japanese not been confined, there may have been massive lynchings, with mobs possibly attacking Chinese-Americans as well.
