@Communist2012 Tuskegee experiment started in 1932. Truman wasn't even holding Federal office at that time.

[kentamitchell]

@Communist2012 LOL! To a communist, Truman might be classed as evil. 

[Communist2012]

Truman - probably the most evil President in US history. directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of so many.

- Hiroshima and Nagasaki Atomic bombs - mass murderer of women, children and old civilians

- recognition of Israel

- interfering in Vietnam (leading to vietnam war)

- interfering in Korea (See Korea war)

- medical experiments on blacks in Tuskegee and Guatemalans

And this is not even a complete list of his crimes.

You should not be honoring or defending this man America ...

@majorgeeek uh-huh. You claim there was a "secret deal"- in 1945? But MacArthur didn't become Hoover's neighbor til after his recall in 1951. Strange that NONE of MacArthur's biographers (Manchester et.al) and NONE of his staff (Willoughby and Whitney) mention Trohan's column.

After hirohito's surrender, it was no secret that MacArthur intended to use h ascollaborator in chief- T getting that one fact right convinces you that the whole fabrication is genuine.

@logan0178 Shameless liar or just plain stupid? Good question.



[kentamitchell]

@majorgeeek Uh-huh. And Hoover did not mention this incident in his memoirs BECAUSE??? Andneither Hoover nor MacArthur leakedthat inf to the GOP fora '52 election issue BECAUSE???

I'd bewilling to betat very long odds that you are not a law school graduate- "gag order"? For 66 years? The UK has an Official Secrets Act- we don't.

Thereason why nobody bothered calling apress conference? Because nobody took Trohan's fiction seriously enough to bother.

@kentamitchell Majorfreak is a shameless liar and whitewasher. It's no surprise he lies pathologically.

[majorgeeek]

@kentamitchell MacArthur admitted to Hoover the story was true - the fact the story went immediately quiet suggests either secret deals were struck or a gag order was placed on the whole story or both - but fraud or hoax seem very unlikely since it is impossible for Trohan to accurately invent or pirate the story given the ultra high secrecy surrounding the facts of Japan's surrender and especially as no one involved with the story has claimed it is a hoax

[kentamitchell]

@majorgeeek Exactly WHEN did MacArthur "stand by the story"?

Secret deal? Still a secret 66 years later? No mention during the Congressional hearings in '51 or the election campaign in '52? Or even in a memoir written in '64?

Publishing astory w/o evidence? Look up how Janet Cooke won her Pulitzer, LOL!

[majorgeeek]

@kentamitchell the Newspapers wouldn't print your story "I accuseObama of boinking an underageSasquatch " unless there was evidence - Obama would deny the story anyway a-la Clinton style and your dumb ass wouldn't be worth spit if you fabricated the evidence - yet Trohan or the newspapers never retracted their scoop - Truman did not deny the story or say MacArthur memo was false - MacArthur stood by the story - the story went quiet suggests secret deals were struck
