1930s American Fascists rise again

I had no idea how much Rush Limbaugh was borrowing from the anti-FDR gang, until I read some old speeches by Coghlin.

The "birthers" are using exactly the same kind of inflamatory about "Barak Hussein Obama:"

Here is an historical quote from a 1935 radio broadcast by Father Coghlin:


"I refer to Bernard Manasses Baruch whose full name has seldom been mentioned but which name from this day forth shall not be forgotten in America. This was the name which his parents gave him, the name Manasses. This is the name, General Johnson, of your prince of high finance. Him with the Rothschilds in Europe, the Lazzeres in France, the Warburgs, the Kuhn-Loebs, the Morgans and the rest of that wrecking crew of internationalists whose god is gold and whose emblem is the red shield of exploitation--these men I shall oppose until my dying days even though the Bernard Manasses Baruchs of Wall Street are successful in doing to me what the prince, after whom he was named, accomplished in doing to Isaias."
