To the left, every great figure in American history, with the grand exception of Martin Luther King, is a criminal.
That’s how the left views their country.
Stewart- king of the ‘armchair quarterbacks’....
Oh, gawd.
Hey, John, you’re 50 or so, ask your Dad if he had been a WW2 vet, and facing the invasion of Japan, whether he supported the bombdrops.
One little not so well known secret is many, many Japanese were thankful the war ended, since otherwise, all men and kids were to be used in kamikaze type attacks all over the country against American troops.
The costs would have made the horrendous casualty lists of Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like child’s play.
That's the end of that discussion.
Just keep repeating this:
John Stewart is a comedian...John Stewart is a comedian...John Stewart is a comedian...
My late father’s life, and millions of others, were spared because President Truman had the stones to do the right thing.
>>war criminals or tyrants or worse.
Hell, don’t forget Woodrow Wilson’s sterling record on civil right and ethnic concerns, not to mention free speech.
German Americans were pretty badly treated, to say the least..
Yes Jon you should thank your lucky stars for these “War Criminals”. They made it possible for you to live in a Country where you can make a living being a Commie Propagandist and liberal butt-boy! (Although if Hitler had won I guess you would be asking what Enchanted him most about the Holocaust?
When you’re filled with self-loathing and cultural self-hatred for the United States, any incident which demonstrates real or potential wrong-doing by the country or its citizens is considered criminal because it confirms your view of the world.
Washington and his men shot down Hessians at a holiday celebration, I believe. And he’s a slave owner. So the country was a criminal enterprise from its founding.
And so the bullsh*t goes. Sadly, the Jon Stewarts of the world will discover the weary truth that it is easier to tear something down than to build it up.

What the likes of Stewart don’t understand is that the US killed far more Japanese in the firebombing campaign that immediately preceded the nuke attacks than in the latter. Furthermore, he does not seem to comprehend that he very likely would not be on Earth to criticize leaders like Truman had he decided to invade the main islands (we did invade Imperial Japanese territory, but Iwo Jima and Okinawa as bad as they were would pale next to the main island) as his father, my father, and many more fathers of Boomers would have been killed there. It would have been history-changing, indeed. Stewart would be well-advised to read some history before spouting off.
I know lots of people who finished that war and who would have been involved with the invasion of Japan if the bomb had not ended that war.
I had the opportunity to see the prep the Japanese had made for the expected invasion and I will promise the killing would have been huge.
So a full-scale assault on the Japanese mainland with hundreds of thousands of American dead, dwarfed by the millions of Japanese who would have killed, how does that rate on your worthless, uneducated, historically ignorant “war criminal” scale?
Why am I even wasting the time to respond to an over-rated nothing like Stewart?
“We thank God that it (the atomic bomb) has come to us, instead of to our enemies; and we pray that HE may guide us to use it in HIS ways and for HIS purpose.” President Truman
LOL!!!
Imagine if W. has spoken like this. The left would have an absolute ATOMIC cow. :)
I guess you haven't spent much time in the FR Civil War threads. There's a solid contingent of Freepers who will tell you in no uncertain terms that the first two on your list were undoubtedly war criminals.
Jon Stewart is a not very funny idiot comedian!!!
It is about time somebody asks that snide little prick about his positions. He won’t look so clever if he continues to pop off like this.
Truman represents the old dead Democrat party of white guys who stood up to communism and supported Israel. It’s quite politically correct to denegrate him.
Maybe it’s a genetic remnant from the Cossack who raped his great grandmother back in the Shtetl. Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz.
Coming from a measly little anti-american twerp like Jon Stewart one would consider his comments a compliment. Funny he makes no comment about Stalin, Mussolini or Pol Pot.
