Coble says internment of Japanese-Americans was appropriate
Rep. Coble (R-NC) stated on radio he feels the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II was justified and appropriate given the circumstances. He justifies his position with the bogus argument that this was done for their own protection.
Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA) was interned as a chld with his family at a concentration camp like Manzanar. I had the privilege to hear him speak a few months ago, and he recalled his father saying: “Mike if it’s for your own protection, you have to wonder why you’re inside barbed wire with machine guns pointed at you.”
The problem is, Rep. Coble is not just another faceless bigot disgracing Congress. He is the chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security. Like Trent Lott before him, he should be made to resign as his positions show just how unfit he is for that office.
