It was simply without precedent.
The case of a prominent politician sending embarrassing messages, combined with the hijacking of a press conference by a combative, high-profile conservative journalist.
Except that the bizarre Anthony Weiner-Andrew Breitbart dust-up at Manhattan’s Sheraton Hotel isn’t without precedent at all. In fact, six decades ago, history witnessed an eerily similar altercation at a Philadelphia hotel news conference about a politician’s inappropriate communications—and his own confrontation with the Andrew Breitbart of his day.

I wish our press would do their job.
This twit would have made Obama look smart.
They are. You're just confused as to who they work for.
Of course, it concerns a crazy whack job Democrat that was much more Communist than Democrat, even for the Democratic Party of the 30’s and 40’s.
We would never hear about Henry Wallace from MSNBCABCCBSCNN Pravda lite reporters.
LOL, Great post!
I never heard any of this story.
So, the crazies have been in control for decades.
Good to know!
Good story.
BTTT.

and there it is...
FDR personally insisted on Wallace as his running mate in 1940, against the wishes of the party bigshots. The country is very lucky that FDR did not die a year earlier—we would have had Wallace as President for at least the next 11 months (critical months of the war) and what if he had won the 1944 election? There wouldn’t have been a Cold War, but the Communists might have taken over Italy, France, western Germany, and Greece.
Terrific story. Thank you.
The Roerich Pact...

Roerich played a central role in the stimulation of mystical pursuits during this period. His legacy includes the idea of the pyramid with the Eye of Providence on the obverse of the Great Seal, which Henry Wallace helped persuade FDR (himself a Freemason) to approve.”
“In February, 1923, the National Geographic Society took over from the U.S. Department of Agriculture the expedition into Yunnan Province, southwest China, headed by Mr. Rock... The Society provided Mr. Rock with funds which enabled him to extend the scope of his work in Yunnan, with the result that during the succeeding eighteen months he made researches and explorations which... have increased our knowledge of a little-known part of China, inhabited by many diverse tribes...”
“In March 1925, Nicholas Roerich (a.k.a. Nikolai Konstantinovich Rerikh), began his famous Central Asia expedition, a 3-year trip which took him from India up into the Himalayas and into the Altai, Mongolia and Tibet, where he had an audience with the Dalai Lama. It was also sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, whose Secretary Henry Wallace had a fascination with Eastern religions. The stated purpose of Roerich’s expedition was to collect drought-resistant grasses, but he was also collecting art, studying ancient ruins, and searching for the legendary Shambala. He was undoubtedly assisted in his ability to obtain USDA funding on the basis of Rock’s successful expedition. (He may also have hoped to find Shambala before these other groups did!)http://www.roerich.org/nr_bio.html
Tax dollars paid for it all their fanciful notions, nothing much changes. Roerich founded a museum for himself in NYC and we probably paid for that as well.
