Abe Defends Hashimoto Blames: The Moron Festival Continues

Shinzo Abe who views history through a blind fold and Toru Hashimoto who thinks comfort women are really figments of someone eles imagine continue to follow the mighty river of stupidity in a vain attempt to justify their beliefs.    

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe defended in an interview on Friday the right of Japan’s leaders to visit a controversial shrine to war dead but hit back at critics who accuse him of revisionism.
Amid the latest flare-up with China and South Korea over history, Abe quoted a U.S. scholar as comparing Yasukuni Shrine to Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, which has a section for Confederate Civil War dead.
“I am of a view that we can make a similar argument about Yasukuni, which enshrines the souls of those who lost their lives in the service of their country,” Abe told the policy magazine Foreign Affairs.

Unfortunately  for the walnut sized brain which resides inside Shinzo's head these two places are not the same.  None of the soliders buried in Arlington National Cemetery are convicted War Criminals.

Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Restoration Party) coleader Toru Hashimoto, the Osaka mayor in hot water for apparently trying to justify Japan’s wartime sex slaves, said Friday that the public’s “lack of reading comprehension” has caused the current situation in which his remarks have been “misunderstood.”
The embattled outspoken politician also said he will shut out the media from any reporting opportunities except for his official news conferences.
Facing reporters at City Hall in the evening, Hashimoto blamed the media for perpetrating “big misreporting,” without delving into specifics. He stressed that he has never endorsed Japan’s wartime military brothel system but said his remarks have been taken to suggest otherwise.
“I hope people will have the ability to read and understand (my remarks),” he said.

The head of the junior misogyny league is pissed because?  People actually understood what he  meant when during his press conference last Monday he described comfort women as being necessary to keep the war crime tendencies of the Japanese Imperial Army in check.
