Interesting historical tidbit.

[SMARTY]

If that guy is on a list... “O” should qualify for it, too

[ifinnegan]

Yes.

I don’t know much about Laguardia, but this indicates he was quite perceptive and prophetic about the events that were to later take place.

Maybe accurate about FDR I hope so.

[ZULU]

Not surprising. FDR was president. Until Hitler stabbed his little buddy Stalin in the back, the left loved him.

Remember Bella Abzug - the Commie from New York with the Big Hat? She was one of those.

As late as 1939 and they still had not clearly identified Adolf as a bad guy. How slow we are.

"Hull responded that La Guardia still had to be reprimanded."

My response to Hull or any other State Department Utopians:

"Returning to the question of being feared or loved, I come to the conclusion that, men loving according to their own will and fearing according to that of the prince, a wise prince should establish himself on that which is in his own control and not in that of others; he must endeavour only to avoid hatred, as is noted."

...then Hitler "played" the Utopians for the absolute fools they are/were.

LaGuardia was the Sarah Palin of the 1930’s except the President and the Executive branch had his back.

Cordell Hull ... what else would anyone have expected?

[cynwoody]

His name was Fiorello Henry LaGuaria.
