Sure, the Divine Miss M hits similar topics via Twitter, but she doesn't mind reaching back into history to smite the GOP from a different angle.
This week, Midler revisited World War II with a tweet claiming the GOP wanted America to lose in its fight against the Axis powers.
.@GOP treats Mr. Obama the way they treated FDR in WWII. They did everything they could to ensure an Allied loss.
There's a method to Midler's social media madness--she's trying to prop up President Barack Obama. The failing, flailing president blames everyone else for a stalled economy and a host of "phony" scandals, and she's only too eager to do the same.

Oh yea, good movie.
Re why Better Midler has never been known as an intellectual:
She fell off her broom and hit her head while filming a movie and has never been the same.
Have forgotten the name of the movie but it also had Sara Jessica Parker and ? Adjami as other witches.
And Bette Midler would have provided entertainment for the concentration camp guards.
Well one could easily argue that the democrats wanted us to lose the Civil War.
Joseph Kennedy wasn’t a lot of help. If we listened to no one but him, we might have lost WWII.
My guess is that the ignorant clown doesn’t know who that is.
Correct me if I’m wrong; wasn’t Joe Kennedy a NAZI collaborator? In fact, a lot of “American Communists” supported Hitler until he attacked the USSR.
Hocus Pocus.
Many Pubbies were against US entry in WW2 (America First Committee), but once Japan attacked, they were on-side with the war effort. She should get her facts straight.
she is coming apart on her own
I was once at a meeting where my Congressman was talking and he got really confused and said Germany was fighting Japan and we were fighting Russia. What makes it worse, is that his family was interned during WWII. Yeah, he was a little kid, but you’d think he’d know.
liberalism is a disease.
As fiercely anti-Communist as they were anti-Semitic, Kennedy and Astor looked upon Adolf Hitler as a welcome solution to both of these"world problems" (Nancy's phrase). No member of the so-called"Cliveden Set" (the informal cabal of appeasers who met frequently at Nancy Astor's palatial home) seemed much concerned with the dilemma faced by Jews under the Reich. Astor wrote Kennedy that Hitler would have to do more than just"give a rough time" to"the killers of Christ" before she'd be in favor of launching"Armageddon to save them. The wheel of history swings round as the Lord would have it. Who are we to stand in the way of the future?" Kennedy replied that he expected the"Jew media" in the United States to become a problem, that"Jewish pundits in New York and Los Angeles" were already making noises contrived to"set a match to the fuse of the world."
During May of 1938, Kennedy engaged in extensive discussions with the new German Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, Herbert von Dirksen. In the midst of these conversations (held without approval from the U.S. State Department), Kennedy advised von Dirksen that President Roosevelt was the victim of"Jewish influence" and was poorly informed as to the philosophy, ambitions and ideals of Hitler's regime. (The Nazi ambassador subsequently told his bosses that Kennedy was"Germany's best friend" in London.)
Columnists back in the states condemned Kennedy's fraternizing. Kennedy later claimed that 75% of the attacks made on him during his Ambassadorship emanated from"a number of Jewish publishers and writers. ... Some of them in their zeal did not hesitate to resort to slander and falsehood to achieve their aims." He told his eldest son, Joe Jr., that he disliked having to put up with"Jewish columnists" who criticized him with no good reason.
Like his father, Joe Jr. admired Adolf Hitler. Young Joe had come away impressed by Nazi rhetoric after traveling in Germany as a student in 1934. Writing at the time, Joe applauded Hitler's insight in realizing the German people's"need of a common enemy, someone of whom to make the goat. Someone, by whose riddance the Germans would feel they had cast out the cause of their predicament. It was excellent psychology, and it was too bad that it had to be done to the Jews. The dislike of the Jews, however, was well-founded. They were at the heads of all big business, in law etc. It is all to their credit for them to get so far, but their methods had been quite unscrupulous ... the lawyers and prominent judges were Jews, and if you had a case against a Jew, you were nearly always sure to lose it. ... As far as the brutality is concerned, it must have been necessary to use some ... ."
Brutality was in the eye of the beholder. Writing to Charles Lindbergh shortly after Kristallnacht in November of 1938, Joe Kennedy Sr. seemed more concerned about the political ramifications stemming from high-profile, riotous anti-Semitism than he was about the actual violence done to the Jews."... Isn't there some way," he asked,"to persuade [the Nazis] it is on a situation like this that the whole program of saving western civilization might hinge? It is more and more difficult for those seeking peaceful solutions to advocate any plan when the papers are filled with such horror." Clearly, Kennedy's chief concern about Kristallnacht was that it might serve to harden anti-fascist sentiment at home in the United States.

“Tell that to Bob Hope or Dwight D Eisenhauer”
Patton was getting pretty fed up with the communist leanings of our government towards the end of the war also, even tho he considered himself a Democrat.
.@GOP treats Mr. Obama the way they treated FDR in WWII. They did everything they could to ensure an Allied loss.
Big mouth, small intellect. We should all go join a CCC camp and help build the concentration camps for the Japanese Americans.... and, be sure to prevent the creation of Nisei units who wanted to fight the Axis in Europe. ALL of which was done by the FDR machine, and one Earl Warren. Part of the NWO of FDR.
Neatly leaves out the Brits in all this— and their collusion to make sure we were attacked. Republicans get the US OUT of wars, Bette old girl. It’s people like LBJ who perpetuate them. And obamaumao.
