@majorgeeek LOL! Geekboy, you really can't get ANYTHING right: it is Professor William Murray. Professor Murray. Not Professor Williamson.

PS get a copy of the Macmemo or STFU!

[kentamitchell]

@majorgeeek LOL! Professor Murray is a Yale PhD, and yes, his *exact* response to the Trohan column was "that's bullshit"

You've never heard a graduate student swear. I guess you have spent VERY little time at college. Why don't you try to find ONE college professor who thinks the Trohan story is true.

[majorgeeek]

@kentamitchell I have never heard a history MA swear like that - I also doubt Prof Williamson used the word "bullshit" unless he meant you

[kentamitchell]

@majorgeeek Geekboy,go find a copy of the"MacMemo". Until you find it shut the fuck up.

[supermonkeyyyyyy]

fuck you commercials

@kentamitchell Truman would have sued the Tribune and Gen MacArthur to get a retraction and apology and that would have been the end of the matter - maybe there was good reason for him to avoid a piss fight in court? - "Trohan's claims" what claims? - Trohan is a reporter

[kentamitchell]

@majorgeeek 1. Actually, Professor Emeritus Williamson Murray (who co wrotemy comprehensive exam for my MA) commented on Trohan's claims quote they're bullshit endquote

2. Truman went bankrupt in *1921*. My best guess is that HST decided he didn't care to get in a pissing fight with a skunk.

As I pointed out, no US President has sued for libel in more than a century.

@kentamitchell if the story was "bogus" that nobody bothered commenting - where did you get that tit bit of info? your rehab nurse? - unless Trohan got his scoop from Nostradamus or in fact Leahy via Mac Memo, he had no other way of knowing the Emperor would be spared and become a "puppet in the hands of American forces" and that Truman's demands for unconditional surrender were a smoke screen - Truman was a poor bankrupt why didn't he sue the papers for millions of dollars??

[kentamitchell]

@majorgeeek No American President has sued for last in the past century. Trohan's story was so obviously bogus, nobody bothered commenting on it.

Strange that neither MacArthur norany member of hisstaff kept acopy of the (alledged) Macmemo.
