That raised right hand, the Nazi cross award, the pictures of Lindbergh hanging around with the Nazi high command, his advocating an alliance between America and Germany, his words that the best plan would be for Germany to conquer Poland and Russia, his hostility toward England, his work for the openly anti-Semitic Henry Ford, his statements about racial purity.

Any other American Icon you want to smear as Racist Luis?

You seem perpetually consumed with Race and Race-Baiting, as long as it concerns White Americans. What's up with that Luis?

BTW, concerning that picture of Charles Lindbergh and Charles K Wheeler at the America First Rally did you know Wheeler was a Democratic Senator? Yeah, he was a lefty of sorts but do you HONESTLY believe a U.S. Senator would have shown up at a “America First” meeting and start saluting Hilter? LOL. And that other guy sitting down in the background sure seems trapped up in the moment…NOT.

So why insinuate that that was what both of these Patriotic Americans were doing when the most OBVIOUS explanation is that there was some vote being taken at the meeting? See below extract of Google search on Charles K. Wheeler.

Returning to the Democratic Party Wheeler was elected to the Senate in 1928, 1934 and 1940. In September 1940, Wheeler helped Charles A. Lindbergh and Norman Thomas to form the America First Committee (AFC). I t soon became the most powerful isolationist group in the United States. The AFC had four main principles: (1) The United States must build an impregnable defense for America; (2) No foreign power, nor group of powers, can successfully attack a prepared America; (3) American democracy can be preserved only by keeping out of the European War; (4) "Aid short of war" weakens national defense at home and threatens to involve America in war abroad.

Not anymore than I would believe that an ex Grand Wizard of the Klan would be elected to the US Congress.

By the way...I see you're playing the race card as is your normal style.

"Nazis" are not a race idiot.

Are you arguing that Ford was not an anti semite?

Are you spinning Lindbergh's "racial purity" statements to Reader's Digest?

And the only way to defeat the AFC's influence was through FDR's manipulation of events in the Pacific.

There's a reason: the AFC and George Washington were on the same page.
