I mean, not just compared to some of the other nastiness he's come up with. I think what he's saying is similar to what I've heard here - bullying won't stop and there's always going to be some kids who get bullied. He's accepted that. He didn't say he likes it, but it seems like he's being a realist about it. Maybe he doesn't choose the best, or the most sensitive words to express himself with, but I doubt he would say that some kids deserve to be bullied.

Ishihara is a racist and a fearmonger who cares only about his own fame. I hope you’re kidding, John. Ishihara is a racist and a fearmonger who cares only about his own fame.

He's a jerk, but he speaks his mind. Based on that, I'd have to vote for him. Ishihara? He’s a jerk, but he speaks his mind. Based on that, I’d have to vote for him.
