Some Japanese were spies and out to get us

There are/were/ and will be plenty of white people who are spies in the US (then, now and in the future). I don't see any calls for interning white people. Plus, I would like to know all the WWII spies who were actually convicted of something.

But on the subject of a double standard. I don't care that republicans are held to a high standard, we should be. The dems should be held to a high standard too but if they are not, then let them wallow in defeat at the ballot box. If they refuse to clean house, we will do it for them.

PS. The Japanese internment was as much about taking their property in California as anything else. It's not like any trustees were appointed to oversee their stuff until the war was over, it was basically "you have 1 week to sell all your stuff for whatever you get".

Well like I said I didn't want to get into a debate regarding internment camps. It probably would fall under the category of the "ends not justifying the means."

However, in the objective media, they should hold both parties to the same standards. Why should Democrats dumb or inappropriate comments get swept under the rug by national media while Republicans are constantly villified across most major news outlets. It's the media that hypes the story with repeated story and headline. If it had been a Democrat, you never would have heard about Trent Lott's comment. Guaranteed. Barely FR and the opinionjournal carried anything about Patty Murray. We know about it, but Joe Six Pack and Soccer Mom don't.
