Unpatriotic Quotes



This was a Nationally Broadcast Speech speech in the run up to American entry to WWII, Lindbergh had been a national here for being the first aviator to fly over the Atlantic to Europe. Politically, the National Hero became an active fascist supporter of Mussolini and Adolph Hitler who awarded him a Medal for Supporting Fascism, Anti-Semitism and advocating for America to allow Hitler to conquer German and the rest of Europe. After WWII he was in disgrace. This quotation is one of his many attempts to keep America from interfering with Hitler in Europe as he was a great admirer of Fascism and the two leading proponents in Europe.


Karl Rove denied that there was any political attempt to use the war in the campaign and President Bush made a similar statement. Bush may or may not have known the truth but Rove was lying baldly. Politicizing the war was the basis of his entire campaign strategy and he had presented it earlier to the Republican National Committee. See {35759}. However, the public who may or may not have believed McAulliffe's accusation in the face of Rove's denial, voted to re-elect the President. However, there was another dirty trick that the Republicans used very successfully–the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. So it is hard to tell which was more effective, but the Democrats were totally outclassed in this election. Ironically, Bush's popularity sunk to record lows in this second term with even many in his own party turning on him. The issue that made people most unhappy with Bush was the essence of Rove's original strategy�the ability to handle the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq properly.
