(41,129 posts)Speaking of FDR, there's a post running on GD, 11/15/14, *'FDR Too Radical for Today's Dem. Party'. After great moral raising comments, a STINK BOMB came in, one I've noticed before, with total slams on FDR Re blacks, 'lynching support' etc. Stuff that's factual but absent critical context & many difficult circumstances of the times. Of course no mention of how FDR saved capitalism, even had support from some on WS to reform the ffing Banks. Blacks left the GOP for Dem. Party in historic numbers in his 2nd admin., Jews from Europe were denied entry due to rotten immigration laws since the 1920s, etc.
Remarks are purely one sided, damning & damaging esp. to new & younger viewers IMO.
I almost exploded!, wanted to counter but noticed there were no direct replies. Point being, can anyone confirm this STINKER and is it best to not respond, get pulled in to the flaming? Thanks. Be well.
