Tokyo Rose

[Giant Communist Robot]

I listened to some recordings of her, most of which were re-creations for her trial. I can't understand how she was convicted unless it was racist hatred fueled by the war.

Its surprising how this 'lynch mob' mentality can just take over.

IVA TOGURI D’AQUINO

She was better known as Tokyo Rose, the great propagandist for Imperial Japan, delivering morale-lowering broadcasts to American fighting men across the Pacific.

Today she’d be on CBS.

Uh, no, that wasn't her. You should read the article Shap linked.

I think it was this sentiment--'cause that's what it was, not a fact--that got her arrested and convicted. I see Gerald Ford pardoned her.

I stand corrected, however she was certainly the public face of Tokyo ROse however that image arose and she she certainly admitted making broadcasts so I'll propose she was, at most, 1/12th Tokyo Rose.

I won't settle for anything more than 1/24th.

hmmmm, if you'll admit that she broadcast at least one hour a day

I dont think the argument is that TR broadcast, just whether this woman was TR or not.
Moot to me.
