Feeling left out after more than 8,000 war crime denying fools sued the Asahi Shinbun for its publication of articles dealing with the Japanese Imperial Armies use of comfort women during World War II a further group of 2,100 nonintellectuals have decided to join the fun by filing a lawsuit in Tokyo District Court. The purpose is a forced denial of history by the Japanese so they won't feel ashamed about their countries past.
More than 2,000 people are suing the liberal Asahi newspaper to demand that it place advertisements in U.S. and European newspapers, apologising for its coverage of wartime sex slavery, saying it has stained Japan’s reputation, local media said Thursday.
The move is the latest salvo in the battle over Japan’s history, which pits an increasingly aggressive revisionist right wing against an ever-more cowed mainstream that accepts the country’s guilt over its World War II atrocities.
They argued that the Asahi’s historical reports on the so-called “comfort women” system were instrumental in forging global opinion that the Japanese state and its military were involved in organising a formalised system of sex slavery.
They also claim that the paper’s reports contributed to the drive to build statues of former “comfort women” in California and other U.S. locations, which they say led to their mental distress.
So called comfort women? Forgetting just for moment that some of these women are still alive and that there is clear historical evidence to back their claims what can these morons hope to gain? That they'll be nominated for the Darwin Awards or that they'll be hired by Fox News which like them exists in a world of lies, denial and propaganda.
