Wesley Clark: Throw Radical Muslims Into Internment Camps

[Indus]

In an appearance on MSNBC to discuss the shootings at Chattanooga military sites, the retired general and former Democratic candidate for president said we should be dealing with “disloyal” American citizens who’ve been “radicalized” the same way the U.S. did during World War II – and called on allies to do the same.

“In World War II, if someone supported Nazi Germany at the expense of the United States, we didn’t say that was freedom of speech, we put them in a camp, they were prisoners of war,” Clark said.

He also said: “If these people are radicalized and they don’t support the United States and they are disloyal to the United States as a matter of principle, fine. It’s their right and it’s our right and obligation to segregate them from the normal community for the duration of the conflict.”

Clark suggested that American Muslims could come to embrace radical Islam after losing a girlfriend or if “their family doesn’t feel happy here.”

I want to ask him just how does one qualify as radicalized in his opinion?

I don't think he completely understands what a "right" is. It's not something that you get thrown into a camp for exercising.

No one has the right to declare war on the United States and assume there will be no repercussions. People colluding with our enemies aren't exercising their right to free speech, they're enabling terrorists, and that's pretty fucking illegal. I don't think Clark was really thinking about the political ramifications of saying "stick them in camps," but realistically, if someone is trying to wage jihad from within our borders, why should we allow that?

 

[Jaskalas]

If we faced such an existential threat as to reach THAT conclusion, then we wouldn't be stopping to smell the roses and waste time with camps. There is no circumstance in which I agree to the general's "solution".

I really just view this as Clark's senior moment.

 

[nickqt]

You first, Wesley.

 

[1prophet]

That includes all enemies of the state, right.:whiste:

[MomentsofSanity]

Yeah... Those internment camps were filled with nothing but radical Japanese during WW2.

What could possibly go wrong.....

Nope - that's just a crazy person, s'all.

 

[Jhhnn]

Due process? Don't need no steenking due process!

 

[Blue_Max]

Due process? Don't need no steenking due process!

Funny how liberals say "due process" is only to be doled out to those higher up in the oppression olympics 'progressive stack'.

Conversely, they want to remove same due process to men on college campuses... so how about a little consistency?

 

[WhipperSnapper]

The government should offer free one-way tickets for anyone who wants to join ISIS in exchange for renouncing all American citizenship.

Well if it's illegal we don't really need "camps" for that. We already have something in place that would serve the purpose just as well, prisons.

Your tunnel vision is hilarious. Thanks for that word salad.

During the GW Bush years not agreeing with the PO(TU)S and/or with the war in Iraq was being against the US (because even if you didn't agree with him, he was still the POTUS!) according to many of the right-wing facists on this forum. Seeing that ever since Obama first got elected those same 'Americans' have done nothing but attack the new POTUS I am assuming that they'll all be rounded up and locked up in camps now?

Would make P&N a lot more quiet, I'm all for that idea!

 

[IGBT]

good idea..and send the eco-KOOKS in with them. They can preach their alarmist mass delusion hyperbole to each other.

 

[Nebor]

The tea party sorts will cheer this until the federal agents come for them too. Be careful what you wish for.

Clark is a pretty scholarly general, I'm kinda surprised to hear him say this.

I am surprised to hear anybody say it. I wonder if he envies Trump, or if he's developing a brain tumor. I don't know much about him. Maybe I should be glad of that.

So who is really radicalized here? These supposed muslims or people who want to throw US citizens into concentration camps? I mean, holy fuck, a former presidential candidate is actually discussing this in a serious manner.

 

[piasabird]

I didn't know terrorism was a right.

 

[piasabird]

In South Korea you can be arrested and jailed for saying things favorable of North Korea.

 

[piasabird]

I see more justification to classify illegal immigrants as refugees and putting them in refugee camps according to how the UN does things.

Are we sure Blue_Max isn't the second retarded, misogynistic, coming of Nehalem? He seems to be making one hell of an effort to be the single stupidest mother fucker to ever post on AT.

He does seem to share Nehalem's unique ability to change literally any topic into some raging rant about how much he hates women.

You know you can say things in a single post, right? And when you're going to say things this idiotic, I think the rest of us would appreciate it if you condense it as much as possible.

 

[thraashman]

He was probably turned down for a date and went into his bedroom to cry for 15 hours and came out with his 50 page long anti-women "femanistz are destroying the country" manifesto.
