Father Coughlin was the Rush Limbaugh of
his day.
He was a "conservative" talk show host with a audience of millions. In August 2006 I picked up a copy of his magazine Social Justice (May 19, 1941). Most of the articles were similar to the one at left. I have posted it because it was the most complete in stating the view point that we should abandon England and had nothing to fear from Hitler. His point of view was shared by many in the "loyal opposition" to the Democrats of the day. Charles Lindberg is the topic of another article. Lindberg favored letting Japan have it's sphere and Germany it's sphere. Many thought he could become President one day. Willke, the Republican candidate in 1940 was endorsed by the German American Bund... Most of this history is forgotten. |
