Discussion: Rand Paul Likens Obama Immigration Order To Japanese Internment Camp Order

TPM Article Topics

He said to Japanese people ‘we’re going to put you in a camp. We’re going to take away all your rights and liberties and we’re going to intern you in a camp.’"

Yes, yes! This is so true. Allowing immigrants to stay in the country and not rounding them up and sending them home is the exact same thing as rounding people up and putting them in camps. The exact same thing.
Having Mitch McConnell as a senator is embarrassing enough, but having this lying, dumbass represent me is enough to make you want to move.

Similarly, one can liken Rand Paul’s Brain to Fecal Matter

Oh yes such character such bonafidas. Ask Rand Paul why he blocked NSA reforms. Talk about going against what he is supose to stand for. Only when it is in the interest of Rand Paul. He will say whatever it takes and whatever sticks to a wall.

I watched the movie “Lincoln” again the other night. There’s a scene where Lincoln is explaining to his cabinet why he’s in such a rush to pass the 13th Amendment before the war ends. The courts could’ve reversed the emancipation proclamation or the next President could’ve rescinded it sending 3 million slaves back into bondage.

If Rand Paul wins the Presidency will he promise to rescind Obama’s executive order?

Some people work very hard to be that stupid.

For little Randy, it just comes naturally.

You know, and this probably has never occurred to Sen. Paul, but you know who else concentrated a lot of power? Hitler.

I’m certainly glad he’s on the case!

Well, at least he made it interesting by not going for the Nazi analogy.

All our best examples still seem to be stuck in WWII, however. Well, all our examples, anyway.

That’s a weird thing to say… even for someone from the Paul clan.

The same kind of bigots clamoring to poison Obama’s presidency were feared by well-meaning Californians as intending to “Isil” the Japanese population. On their advice, as a precaution, the presidential order was issued and the Japanese were interred with best intentions for their own safety–although the end result was not as intended. (How could it be?) Those same bigots managed to raid and loot all wealth and real estate holdings of the interred Japanese, in the truest tradition of “White” America. And in these modern times the tale is twisted to poison the FDR legacy.

Yes, too much power, that was the problem behind Japanese internment. Not rampant racism. Congress and the rest of the population were totally against it, but, like the courts, they were just powerless to do anything about it.

Yes, folks, this stupid fucking crackpot with his half-baked libertarian gibberish is who Time declared The Most Interesting Man in Washington.

Anybody want to place bets that pledging to rescind Obama’s EOs on immigration will be a prerequisite to winning the Republican nomination?

Republican nominee to Latinos: I’m gonna send your parents back to the hellhole they escaped, but vote for me because reasons and thangs!

I still maintain they meant interesting as in a very polite way of saying, “crazier than a shithouse rat”.

So I guess that means it’s not like Hitler? Or will another Teatroll make that analogy?
