These thread fall into search engines all over the world and this could end up as a stain on the reputation of Thomas Dewey at some point in the future. This so-called speech could get picked up by someone who didn't realize it was a lousy piece of satire and the next thing you know future generations will judge Thomas Dewey to be some kind of seditious traitor.
So yes, I would like this thread pulled. It is not funny and it is not creative. It posts a picture of a fine man in a false light.
I'm pinging the Admin Moderator again. Hopefully he will see fit to pull this thread.

Unbelievably far-fetched that this post would become part of a historical revision of Thomas Dewey! I can scarcely believe I’m actually reading that.
And, no, it wasn’t funny. It wasn’t intended to be. In my humble opinion, it IS creative. I personally would like to see a whole BOOK that works on this meme of “how the fifth column lost WWII” — including the obvious ending! Maybe it should be written in German or Japanese, with English subtitles!
Yes, this attempt may be a tiny bit clumsy, but so what. This isn’t a scholarly journal, it’s an opinion site. Anyway, I’m betting the poster has learned from this. Peer moderation works.
Pulling the thread would be an asinine over-reaction. Lighten up and get over yourself.
