Mayor David Bowers brings something new to the Refugee Refusal table:

“President Franklin D. Roosevelt felt compelled to sequester Japanese foreign nationals after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and it appears that the threat of harm to America from Isis now is just as real and serious as that from our enemies then.”

At the risk of causing distress to the charming and erudite Kevin Drum, I have no problem calling Bowers the human equivalent of a stage IV bedsore and an embarrassment to the state that once had Ken Cuccinelli as an AG. Also: Ppppppbbbfft!

George Takei’s reply began with a history lesson for Mr. Bowers:

1) The internment (not a “sequester”) was not of Japanese “foreign nationals,” but of Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens. I was one of them, and my family and I spent 4 years in prison camps because we happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. It is my life’s mission to never let such a thing happen again in America.
