Dear ‘Rats:

“Ford Motor Company built 1,690 M4A3 Sherman Tanks and 1,038 M10A1 Tank Destroyers during World War Two.”

(But Americans know from Creepy Joe that you are more interested in your twisted version of the “truth” than you are in facts.)

Does National Review have any idea that Henry Ford was one of the most prominent anti-Semites in American history?

I guess Democrats keep forgetting that the father of their idol JFK was very much an admirer of Hitler when he was FDR’s ambassador to the U.K. back in the 1930s.

Ford also built factories in the Soviet Union for Stalin.

Henry Ford was one of THE most rabid, virulent anti-Semite, who had his workers put copies of THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION in every car's glove compartment, from the '20s onward! He and his good friend T.A. Edison HATED all of American Jewry, did everything they could to keep Jews out of businesses ( especially the movie business, which didn't work ), and wouldn't hire them to work in their businesses as well.

Yes, Ford was a great innovator, did do war work during WW II ( the government kinda forced ALL companies that they could use, for the war effort to do so and the carrot was making money! ); however, the author of this article is correct, in a way...Ford is the wrong example for Trump to use right now.

Ford wanted us to stay out of WW2, he also wanted us to stay out of WW1. The communists here as well. The socialist thugs who ran the Garment Workers Union, which was predominantly Jewish at the time actually downplayed any reports of “mistreatment” of the Jews in Germany, assuring their rank and file that Stalin will straighten out Shitler and we will achieve a wonderful socialist paradise on earth. But when the nazis turned on the Soviets THEN they were looking for any excuse to get us in that war. They must’ve had the largest spontaneous orgasm in history when Pearl Harbor was attacked.

BS. It was Henry Ford who built the planes that turned Berlin into a smoldering ash heap.

"Ford factories built the B-24s that bombed the crap out of the Nazis "

Ford initially refused to build any airplanes. It wasn't until Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, and we declared war on Japan and Germany, that he got on board. I've been watching a British program titled "War Factories" that airs in the UK. I download it from the internet so I can watch it. The last two episodes have been about U.S. automobile manufacturers (GM, Packard, and Ford), and their role in producing the machines of war to supply our military, the British, and Russians. Early on in the war, Germany out-produced the British and U.S. in everything. They couldn't keep that pace up though, because of their inability to get needed materials, as well as their unwillingness to use unskilled workers to mass produce planes and tanks. We also outranked the Germans when it came to repairing those planes, and tanks, and getting them back out into action. The Germans were never able to do that.

War Factories

Not only that, but his staff has people with German ancestors and Germany is where Hitler came from.

And all those workers that work for Ford!

They would have worked for Hitler probably, and voted for Trump.

I’m guessing the authoress is a leftist. She ain’t got no credibility to be complaining about anti-Semitism.
